That provides a sufficient explanation as to why Morgul Iron Ore spawns in Tol Torog, and it’s an interesting starting point in expanding the lore of Harad. Maybe it was the malice of Sauron himself that stirred up the Morwaith and Half-trolls to begin attacking the Taurethrim (as opposed to: Nazgûl, or other servants of Sauron)

A dank idea, but it doesn't quite fit with the mod history. Sauron hid in the Far East at the time; however, he was once directly involved with Tol Torog, after the War of the Elves and Sauron. This is about when the Half-Trolls were bred before being abandoned, and they devolved culturally afterwards because he more or less forgot about them. Still, the general theme of your idea works as backing for this suggestion.

Though I should note that the Morwaith (1) started attacking the Taurethrim earlier and (2) the Taurethrim actually started that one by conquering the Morwaith's lands and using them as slaves to make their roads.
