Dol Guldur

Also known as the hill of Sorcery, it is the fortress of Sauron in southern Mirkwood.

Sauron went there after being first driven out of Mordor. Gandalf crept into its vast chambers and discovered that Sauron had returned.

The Wizards struggled with the Elves to counter the shadow of Dol Guldur. But Sauron simply returned to Mordor and rebuilt his Dark Tower. Even when he returned to Minas Morgul, Dol Guldur still remained an evil place of Orcs and other monsters.
