  Though Mordor is where the greatest concentration of Melkor itself is in all Arda, so it could not be (easily) possible. Though God himself punched Arda so hard it went from a plane to a sphere almost solely because Sauron went to Númenor, so He might pull some strings to let it pass.

    I don’t know what any of these nouns mean, but that sounds so much cooler than any real life mythology

      There is a god of the Tolkien universe. His name is Eru Ilúvatar.

      Arda is the planet that Middle Earth is on (with Middle Earth being a continent)

      Sauron is the main enemy in the LOTR trilogy

      Númenor was an island that the Valar (sub-dieties under Eru) created for men that helped in the fight against Melkor (also known as Morgoth), a Valar that turned evil and who was the boss of Sauron for a long time.

      The inhabitants of the island were blessed with long life, good health, etc, and their culture was very elven-inspired. Much of the upper class was part elven, even.

      Sauron tricked many of the Numenoreans to join his cause and take a fight to the other Valar, saying it’d give them immortality. Eru got angry, destroyed the island and reshaped Arda from flat to a sphere.
