Thaurband is one of the largest of the southern guard posts of mordor. Raised along the banks of the Sea of Nurnen, it was a logical outpost for troops, slaves, and goods coming into northern Mordor. Sauron housed and fed hundreds of thousands of orcs, men and slaves to feed his great war against the West. Supplies came up to the Plain of Gorgoroth through the Seregost pass and also along the Thaur Road through Nurn. Many ships moved goods across the sea, landing at Thaurband and then moving North along the Nurn Road. It was also here along the Plain of Nurn that Sauron raised much of the food stuf that he fed his armies.
