The nation of the Dark Lieutenants represents a strategic centre of power for the Dark Servants. From their main fortress inside Mordor, The Mouth of Sauron (Ûrzahil) and The Warlord (Gothmog) initiate and control events that influence much that transpires in all the regions surrounding Mordor. While the forces that constitute the armies of the Dark Lieutenants are not well- skilled, the seasoned commanders of the Dark Lieutenants are probably the most capable leaders to be found anywhere in Middle- earth, and their presence makes their armies a formidable force. Surrounded by wise mages and protected by artifacts, the Dark Lieutenants' power is rapidly rising, and rivals that of any of the other Dark Servants.
