One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. And the Great Eye is ever-watchful. It is a barren wasteland riddled with fire and ash and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten-thousand men could you do this. It is folly.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;

The crownless again shall be king.

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
