Seregost

Seregost is a place in Mordor that appears in several adaptations.

Its first known licensed appearance is in Maps of Middle-earth (2002) for Decipher's The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game, where it appears on a map of Mordor by Daniel Reeve, without any further exposition. A revision of this map was used as merchandise for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

In The Lord of the Rings Online: Mordor, Seregost appears as a fortress in Mordor. It was the home of Lhaereth, a poison-brewer responsible for the Great Plague.

In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Seregost appears as a snowy region centred around a fortress.

Origins

It has been suggested that Seregost originated from the fansite Thelandofshadow.com's interactive map of Mordor, though none of the claims seem to have been aware of the 2002 book, making it hard to establish a chronology.

There it was described as follows:

A dark Fortress in the Mithram Gap

Seregost was a place of lava and red rocks. Named for the 'Blood Stone' flower of ancient tales, it was the eastern gate to Lilithlad in a gap in the Mithram Spur.

It has been said that the Black Uruks of Barad-dúr came from this forsaken place, hiding there after the ruin of their Master in the Second Age, awaiting his return.

Seregost was a place of Dark Sorcery and upon its molten foundations a great fortress stood that guarded the Eastern Road.
