An imposing and sinister depiction of Barad-dûr, the Dark Tower of Sauron, dominating the desolate, ash-choked wasteland of Mordor. The fortress rises like a jagged spear from the earth, its colossal, blackened structure seemingly carved from the shadows themselves. The tower is adorned with spiked battlements, sharp edges, and cruel architecture that reflects its evil purpose. At the summit of the tower, the fiery Eye of Sauron burns with an intense, unholy light, its piercing gaze sweeping across the land. The Eye is surrounded by dark, curling smoke and flickering flames, casting an oppressive red and orange glow over the highest spires of the tower. Jagged beams of light and shadow shoot outward, emphasizing the Eye’s watchful dominance. The surrounding landscape is barren and lifeless, covered in jagged rocks and cracked earth, with rivers of molten lava snaking through the ground, their fiery glow contrasting against the dark, oppressive tones of the scene. The horizon is obscured by a thick wall of blackened clouds, pierced only by the occasional streak of lightning that momentarily illuminates the desolation. In the distance, the massive silhouette of Mount Doom looms, its fiery eruption lighting up the sky with an apocalyptic glow. The faint outlines of twisted, skeletal trees and crumbling ruins dot the foreground, remnants of a world consumed by darkness. Rendered in a polished digital style with intricate detailing, the image uses bold contrasts between deep blacks, fiery reds, and ominous oranges to emphasize the malevolence of Barad-dûr. The dramatic lighting and sharp textures capture the overwhelming presence of Sauron’s fortress, embodying the heart of evil in Middle-earth. Background: a throne-room, at the wall a black shield with three red dragons. Use classic comic-style inking, with bold outlines and vibrant colors, polished with a glossy digital finish. The image should be highly detailed and should use contrasting light effects
