Mount Gundabad is still under Orcish control. The Necromancer used his powers to fool the dwarves into believing they saved the shrine. In reality, the shrine to the Necromancer still stands, and the Under Mountain is still a Gundabadian city. However, the Under Mountain and Dol Guldur and the Black Gate of Morannon are the only two orcish fortresses left in Middle-Earth, beside the new Mordor capital city at Nurn. however, that isn't very large or fortified. But everything else you said is right. In place of the taking of the Under Mountain, you can take Goblin Town.

Oh, and let me add a little more to the "Elves" section of your updates. Eureka is now known as "Lord of the Foothills" as High elves have flocked in the thousands to his new sub-kingdom. His small semi-underground fort has been turned into an enormous keep, specially designed to be absolutely incapturable, and it is now known as "The Gray Keep." The Rohirrim call him "Guardian of the Eastfold" as he now defends most of the east border of Rohan. Unless Auraestus says otherwise, I'll go with this. Brief update to catch my part of the RP up to speed:

Amanntai was delayed in reaching the Dwarven force, as Moria came under Orcish attack while he was traveling through (The Orcs took advantage of the Dwarf warriors being gone). After aiding the dwarves in their successful defense of Moria, Amanntai and his men emerged of the East side of the Misty Mountains. They received word that Gundabad and Carn Dum had fallen to the dwarves.

Meanwhile, news of Dol Guldur's defeat caused the Dol Guldurian orcs at Cirith Ungol to return to their homeland, where they captured the Guldurian hills. Without their aid, the Mordor Orcs were weakened sufficiently to allow the garrison at Cirith Ungol to break through the lines and retreat to Ithilien, leaving Cirith Ungol in the hands of Mordor.

Amanntai returned to Minas Tirith, where he was reunited with the rest of his troops. With Harad defeated and the Heredrim now pseudo-allies of Gondor, there is relative peace in Gondor. Nevertheless, Mordor still stands as a threat...
