Mordor.

Angbad shall win

OOO, well 3 votes for Angband and 3 votes for Mordor!

But i vote for Angband so its 4-3!
----------------------------------------
Heres some little facts (i like facts! lol)
*Morgoth reigned there until the end of the First Age, when it was destroyed in the War of Wrath.
*It was given the name Mordor already before Sauron settled there, because of its volcano Orodruin and its eruptions. Sauron however was the first to settle there
