Joe Russell has created Mordor...the Land of Shadow, a Web site devoted to Mordor and Sauron.

The site relies upon a mixture of popular artwork and citations from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings to provide the visitor with a guided tour of Sauron's world.

The visitor is treated to a multimedia experience as occasional music accompanies the tour. The site even includes its own fan trailer made with Flash. This may be the first Web site to feature a trailer about itself.

Some of the artwork and images are taken from Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" Internet preview and pre-production artwork. The Mordor trailer itself is probably the most impressive part of the site, but it's well worth a look around.
