The siege on Barad-Dur is underway when the Forsaken made it across the other side of the bridge, reaching to Barad-Dur. The Forsaken broke down the gate and charge straight through, clashing against the enemy from within and try to spread throughout the entire fortress. Talion and Sylvanas stays together when moving further within, reaching to the top so they could confront Amarthiel before she breaks the bonds between Celebrimbor and Sauron.

The two fight their through against many Uruks, continues to bring many fallen Uruks from the dead and sometimes dominate a few Uruks into joining their ranks. Together they kept moving forward and kept increasing their strength, continues to do so and save as much as they can when they confront Amarthiel. During the push further within, things become slowly for them when confronting captains in small spaces and forcing them to move to a bigger space so they could either kill them or dominate them.

Meanwhile at the top of Barad-Dur, Amarthiel stood at the top, looking at the flaming eye that keeps flickering between flaming orange to blue. She stands in the middle, holding her staff and starts speaking in Black Speech, saying, "I have come as you requested, Dark Lord. I have the power I need to free you, to break the chains between you and Celebrimbor. You shall be free, all of Mordor will stand by your side once again and the Orc has come."

Amarthiel quickly raise her staff in the air, creating a purplish energy dome around her from her staff. An arrow came and bounced off the dome, when Amarthiel turns her head to whoever fired that, she saw Sylvanas, standing there, lowering her bow.

"Now that I have your attention." Sylvanas said

"The Banshee Queen and the Bright Lord." Amarthiel turns towards them while still having the purple dome around her "With you here, things can be easy to break Sauron out of his prison."

"She wants your ring." Talion said while looking down at Sylvanas' fingers

"That's not going to happen." Sylvanas said "The ring belongs to me."

"The ring doesn't belong to you." Amarthiel said "You wield that ring while Celebrimbor is inside that prison. After what that ring did to you, the last you want is to return it to him."

Sylvanas approaches Amarthiel, keeping her bow down while approaching her, standing in front of the purple dome and responds to her "How many elves are brought back from the dead?"

"You were the first." Amarthiel said "You already met the others… Malicia, Anya and Alistra. Those three are the next generation of elves who will serve the Dark Lord."

"You desecrated them… You son of a bitch."

Amarthiel responds by hitting the ground hard with the end of her staff, breaking the purple dome but she creates a dark shockwave, sending Sylvanas falling back. When she sent Sylvanas away, Talion runs towards with two hands to his sword, only to reach at halfway when Amarthiel swings her staff to the side, suddenly sending Talion flying to the side and sliding over the ground. Amarthiel swings to the other side and sent Talion in the other direction. Sylvanas intervenes when she got up, firing two arrows at Amarthiel but she stops with Talion and raise her staff in the air, creating the dome to block her attacks. Amarthiel removes the energy dome and swings her staff, sending a green fireball at the bottom of her staff towards Sylvanas, she rolls to the side then fires an arrow at her, all she did is move to the side to avoid the arrow and not create another dome.

"She can't do two things at once." Sylvanas mutters to herself, she fires another arrow at her but the moment she was about to raise another dome, she took a hit on the side by a throwing dagger from Talion. Talion threw a wraith dagger towards Amarthiel, hitting through her body while the arrow hit the bottom right of her shoulder. When she took those two hits, Talion runs towards her and so does Sylvanas, moving along the side while firing her arrows at her, damaging her while she fights against Talion with her staff. She soon sent Talion back with her force push from her staff then turns to Sylvanas and sent another green fireball at her, she rolls again from the attack but when she was about to fire another arrow, Amarthiel sent her flying back when she swung her staff through the air.

Amarthiel watches Sylvanas laying there on the floor but slowly gets back up, having Amarthiel to walk towards her while Talion stays back, getting back up and drawing a dagger. Amarthiel gets closer to Sylvanas, she was about to draw another arrow but Amarthiel stops her with a swing of her staff, sending the arrow and her bow sliding away from her reach. Sylvanas looks up at Amarthiel when she stood there looking down at her, kicking Sylvanas in the face and sending her back to the floor.

"Do you think you have a chance of defeating me?' Amarthiel asks while hitting Sylvanas' chest with the end of her staff "Thanks to you here, I can finally bring back the Dark Lord, all thanks to you and the master ring of power."

"That battle in Durthang…." Sylvanas speaks up "That was all just for show?"

"I needed to see you Sylvanas, and to show you that you have underestimated me."

Talion attacks Amarthiel from behind with the dagger, she knew he was coming and turns around, right on time and grabs Talion across the face, dominating him the way the both of them do against others. She force Talion on his knees, unleashing Morgul Sorcery through his skin and mind, making him scream in pain. He drops the dagger and grabs her arm with both hands, trying to free himself and with a strong will, she could not dominate him but to break him by burning him from the inside, the same way that Black Hand felt.

Sylvanas stops this by drawing out a dagger and sending it through the back of her left leg, making Amarthiel gasp loudly when feeling a painful strike on her leg. She turns to Sylvanas, letting go of Talion, he fell to the ground while losing the ring, having the ring fall off his finger before he hit the ground. Sylvanas ignores Talion and finishes this off, drawing her elven blade, she strikes off the left arm of Amarthiel before she could hit her with her staff then she got up on one knee, she sent that elven blade through her chest. Sylvanas sends that sword straight through the other side and leaves it in there while he falls back, looking at Amarthiel while she falls on her knees, dropping the staff and placing both hands to the sword. She looks up at Sylvanas, having her mouth slightly open as if she was going to say something but said nothing as her mouth and her eyes suddenly start to glow in bright light, the same goes to her wounds that she sustain. Sylvanas crawls back and looks away, hearing Amarthiel scream loudly until finally she explodes, pushing Sylvanas away due to that massive blast of air. Once Sylvanas looks back to what is left of Amarthiel, seeing only parts of her clothes while her body was no more.

Amarthiel dead, Sylvanas gets up and sighs relieved when seeing that it is all over but with great cost. She notice that Talion is not getting back up, laying there as if he is dead. She runs towards him, crouching next to him, looking down at him while he lays there, having his face covered in that burnt Morgul Magic, the same way that Black Hand suffered before he died.

"Talion." Sylvanas calls out his name, seeing his eyes open up when he heard her voice. Sylvanas looks away and notices his ring lies on the ground; she goes to pick it up and was about to put it over his finger but Talion stopped her. He moves his other hand over hers, stopping her from putting the ring on. She looks back to him "You need it or you'll die."

"I can't…. Go anymore…" Talion said soon to have his neck cut open and blood spills down while the green Morgul magic slowly consumes his face, burning his body from within "The magic is too much for me… I… I have lived for too long. I must rest."

"Talion."

"My wife… And son… They are waiting for me…" He lowers his hand off Sylvanas' hand "I must go. My quest is over."

Sylvanas lowers her head and drops the ring on the floor, leaving it nearby while Talion lays there dying, eventually he could not breathe anymore. Sylvanas watches him die in front of her unable to help him because he did not want it, seeing him closing his eyes as his life in this world is slowly fading away. His life in Middle-Earth is over.

Sylvanas departs from the top of the tower, leaving Talion's body at the top, laying there dead with his hands over his chest and holding onto his sword that Sylvanas put on his chest. She left that place, leaving everything up there while she begins walking back down to meet with her followers that awaits her. She arrives to meet her warriors, seeing as they have taken control over Barad-Dur and the rest of the Uruks, who are still loyal to the Dark Lord, now remains as captives to let Sylvanas dominate them.

With the threat no more in Barad-Dur, Sylvanas reigns dominant over Barad-Dur, making her the new ruler of Mordor. With Sauron stuck as the flaming eye, the Witch King cannot take Barad-Dur with only eight Nazgul and Amarthiel is no more, the rest of the lieutenants are scattered and Sauron's reign is slowly ending. Sylvanas could finally take the throne, to rule over Mordor, to claim her status and this civil war.

After Barad-Dur fell to the Forsaken, the rumours spread throughout Mordor about what happen; this got the attention from the Tower, allowing him to take command of the armies of Uruks from Seregost to begin the invasion. He sends the army of twenty thousand Uruks, sending them towards the west to destroy what is left of Sauron's army; those who resist will either die or suffer while those who surrender will serve the Banshee Queen.

Sylvanas stays in Barad-Dur for a time, bringing everyone under her command. She eventually departs and begins the full occupation across Mordor. Since she claims Barad-Dur, all of Sauron's army fell, making no high resistance to her forces, allowing her to resurrect or dominate the rest of the Uruks who surrender to her. The first place she goes right now is in the west, towards the battlefield where her forces from Cirith Ungol and Nurnen were to clash against the armies under the command of the two elves. She makes her way there on a firedrake, there she comes down to the battlefield and see how her weapons went against her enemies.

On the battlefield in the west, Sylvanas arrives on her firedrake, noticing the area is full of death, seeing hundreds of thousands of Uruks lying dead over the area; most of them belongs to the enemy while her army lost only little. She arrives to her army that awaits her command, remaining where they are for the time being, capturing a handful of Uruks, most of them are captains but two of them happens to be the elves. During the fight, the elves and their army was off guard when the Forsaken unleashed a weapon against them, it was a toxic plague, made by the Tower in his fortress. This plague, used to unleash a terrible plague against the enemy, once the fumes enter the victim's body, it takes only a few seconds for the victim to die, making it better than the regular poison. The elves who in charge of this attack fell into the middle of the blast radius, caught off guard, they fell and got themselves captured by the undead Uruks who came through, taking no damage to the plague. The weapon was a success however; her non-undead Uruks are unable to walk through and during their victory, somebody attack the plague weapons, destroying the catapults and removing them before they are used for more battles in Mordor or outside of Mordor.

Right now, Sylvanas arrives to deal with the captive followers, getting off her firedrake; she walks over to the Uruks and the elves who remain on their knees. She walks over to them but she turns her head to the right while walking, noticing her catapults are all broken to pieces, making her stop and look towards one of her captains and asks "What happened?"

"Sabotage my lady." Said the Warchief from the Terror Tribe "Someone attacked them and destroyed them, killing one of my captains and all of my soldiers. Nobody could have taken them out unless it was the Bright Lord!"

"The Bright Lord is dead." Sylvanas said then looks to the two elves "It must have been her." She mumbled to herself then walks closer to the two elves, looking at the two while they look back at her "So now it's just us three now… I plan to set you two free, I wish I could have saved the other one but I was too late. If you two die here, at least you are finally free from Sauron's grasp."

Sylvanas uses the power of her ring to dominate them, breaking their minds, seeing what they were before they became walking corpses to serve Amarthiel and Sauron. She looks through the mind of Anya, seeing her past when she was alive, seeing Anya as an elven archer from Lórien, and seeing her in the forest of Lórien with her kind. The second elf was a warrior from Mirkwood, appearing inside the underground city, wearing her battle gear and following an elven queen outside the city. Both of these elves had one thing in common and that was their death in the Angmar War, both fought and died on the battlefield but they died on two locations, Anya died outside Fornost when they joined the forces of Gondor on wiping out the enemy orcs, the second died during the battle against Mount Gundabad. Both of them fell but their bodies were found, sent to Dol Guldur where they remain there for a time, eventually they were brought back to life by Amarthiel, bringing those two and Malicia as well, raising them from the dead, the same way Sylvanas was brought back.

After Sylvanas saw enough, she broke the connection, breaking the bond between them and the Dark Lord's influence, causing them to wake up and begin to remember what they are, and falling in despair, the same way when Sylvanas was broke from her bonds. Both of them are set free once Sylvanas broke their influence over Sauron and Amarthiel, after that, she turns to the other captives and begins dominating them while explaining to them what is happening. She manage to dominate most of them while two captains could not be dominated, their will is strong and difficult to break through, causing Sylvanas to back away and let her captains execute them.

During her domination against the Uruks, Eltariel was nearby, watching her freeing the two elves and breaking their bonds with Sauron. She remains hidden and quiet, turning her back on Sylvanas and begins departing from Mordor, leaving this place since Sylvanas finally won the Shadow Wars. Her last task in Mordor was disposing the plague, removing it before the Forsaken could use it against what is left of Mordor or the rest of the world, with that, she leaves, returning to Lórien where she could warn her kind of what is to come in the future.

The Forsaken army begins their move across Mordor, her forces where she is right now starts to spread across all the corners of Mordor while elsewhere in Seregost, the Tower unleashes his army towards the Black Gate. His army delivered great progress but encounter no heavy resistance, the Tower claims all the lands of the north-west, taking Durthang very easily and as well as the Black Gate. The Forsaken plant their flags across the regions, taking all of the land and all Sauron could do is watch as everything falls to Sylvanas. After the Black Gate fell to the Forsaken, Sylvanas begins her invasion against Minas Morgul, bringing the two elves to join her in vengeance against the enemy in Minas Morgul. She brings an army of twelve thousand to engage what is left of the Witch King's army, seeing as Talion has already delivered great damage against their forces before he came to Barad-Dur, allowing Sylvanas to claim Minas Morgul without dealing with heavy resistance. The Nazgul could not handle such force from Sylvanas, causing them to abandon Minas Morgul and flee Mordor. The Nazgul left Minas Morgul and fled to an old fortress, returning to the west and claiming the fortress of Dol Guldur, remaining there while the last dark fortress of Mordor now belongs to the Banshee Queen.

After Sylvanas claims Minas Morgul, she comes inside the dark fortress with Anya and Alistra, following her to the top of the front gate where she gives her speech to her thousands of Uruks who stand outside the front entrance, waiting for a speech. She stops and looks out at her army, getting a good look at the view before she speaks.

"The Nazgul are finished!" Sylvanas shouts out "This place is the last remnants of the Dark Lord's control over Mordor. The Witch King was his last weapon but he fled, fleeing in fear with the others, surrendering this last dark bastion to the Forsaken. The day is finally here, the day when you see the Banshee Queen, standing on top of Barad-Dur, sitting on Sauron's throne. This is the day for a new ruler of Mordor, the day that I, Sylvanas Windrunner claims the throne and become the Banshee Queen of Mordor!"

The Forsaken praise to the Banshee Queen, they raise their weapons and celebrate. One of the elves speaks up when Sylvanas steps away from the edge of the wall, saying "The speech… It wasn't that bad."

"What happens now?" Alistra steps towards Sylvanas, getting her and Anya to look towards her "What happens to us?"

"Sauron is still out there." Sylvanas responds "We may have won the Shadow Wars but the next war is still coming, the War of the Ring. Sauron still holds influence over many men of the east, which is why we need to dispose anyone who serves the Dark Lord."

"The tribesmen of the south." Anya said "And the Easterlings of Rhun."

"You do know that once this breaks out about a new ruler of Mordor... Others will come; they will try to challenge you." Alistra said

Sylvanas turns back and looks out at her army "Let them try… Anyone who ever thinks of taking this land from me…. They will regret it."

"And what about Sauron?" Alistra asks

Sylvanas turns to Alistra "Leave Sauron to me."

Sylvanas departs from Minas Morgul with Alistra and Anya; there they make their way back to Barad-Dur where they can end it here. She makes her trip back to the top of Barad-Dur, making her way to her throne that once belongs to the Dark Lord. Before she arrives to the throne, she goes somewhere else, changing her appearance to something else, obtaining a new set of armour plating for herself that she got from Seregost. Once she is ready, she makes her way to the throne; there she sees her Overlords and all champions, standing on both sides, waiting for her to arrive. They see her in this new look, silver and blue armoured plating, covering her body. She keeps her long ripped cloak on and covers her head with her hood but when getting closer to the throne, she takes off her hood before she sits down. When she takes the sit on the large throne, she knowns herself as the new ruler of all of Mordor, becoming the next ruler of this land. She finally sits at the top as Sylvanas, the Banshee Queen of Middle-Earth.
