This is a suggestion about the Dark Land. All things within it are taken from the book or adapted from canon sources.
1. The Morgai were a tangled range of hills east of the Ephel Duath. This is the only place where dead trees, stabbing thorns, and withered mosses ae found. Also found here are Mordor Flies (Midges with red blotches on their back) and grey patches of grass. Currently, grass placed in Modor is brown. It should be grey.
2. Morgul Vale was actually a grassy mead before the Grinning Gates of Minas Morgul. I propose a dark, Mirkwood-colored grass, naturally spawning Morgul-Shrooms, and Morgul Flowers. These horrible, demented white flowers cause nausea and poison when they are broken or stepped on by a good player. The same thing happens if any water is touched in Morgul Vale.
3. The Ered Lithui are grey, mist-covered mountains in the north of Mordor. These are low, craggy, and have a dark grey fog effect like the Misties. Ash, a dark version of gravel, is found everywhere here, as are Black Uruks and Ologs, who were bred here.
4. The Ephel Duath should be found west and south of Mordor and basically be the current Modor Mountains without Black Uruks and Ologs.
5. Nurn Slaves should be rarely found throughout Mordor.
6. Orc-Holds, caves with a cobblestone wall and a few tents, should be found in the mountain biomes and the Morgai. Traders live here.
7. Black Uruks and Ologs in general should be much less common.
8. Boromir talked about the "poisonous fume" of Mordor. Good players should recieve an effect called "Choking Ash," which is similar to frost and causes damage over time. This is found in Mordor, Ered Lithui, Udun, Ephel Duath, and Gorgoroth.
9. Mordor was a desert, and was hot during the day and cold during the night. Therefore, a heat effect like Harad should be recieved durin the day, and Frostbite should come during the night.
10. Mordor Trackers should be found in most biomes and replace Mordor Orc archers. These are archers wearing warg fur who switch to daggers at close range.
11. Watch-fires should be found in Ephel Duath. These are some lit hearth blocks and a tent.
12. Craters and cisterns should be now found in Gorgoroth.
Thank you for reading my suggestion. As always, comments, kudos, and constructive critiscism are welcome.
