One of the topics rarely touched on is the fate of the land of Orodruin after the fall of Sauron. While working on my Stubborn Limpet, this possible future came to me:



By the end of the first year, nothing grew on blasted and desecrated ground.

By the end of the first decade, stubborn clumps of grass pockmarked the rubble-strewn landscape.

By the end of three decades, only piles of shattered rock protruded from the carpet of green.

By the end of six decades, clear streams flowed westward toward the Anduin, punctuated occasionally by graceful willows on the banks.

By the end of a century, flowers bloomed and birds once more sang in the branches of the copses that lined the streambeds.

After King Eldarion ascended the throne, Mordor was finally renamed.

Nice - a bit compact on the timeline, but even Mordor can flower again and that comes through in your words.
