What happened to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was reading a book about about the mythes and lore of Middle Earth and I found something that reffered to an ancient library in Mordor. It talked about Sauron during the years of preparation for battle of the Last Alliance. It said that Sauron was fearful that he might be overthrown, however slight the chances may have been, and started to right down all of his knowledge and store it somewhere in the plains east of Gorgoroth (I forget the name of it, it's where the black steeds are bred for the Nazgul) for another to come and finish his work. I don't know if this bit of information is true, I just thought that it was interesting. Who knows, this might have been that plot for "The New Shadow."
