How could a realistic "mordor" look like? Speak a sinister, dark Place/kingdom of the dark overlord where people could still live.

A weirdly dark plain on pluto.

Have you ever been to Detroit?

I wonder if a tidal locked planet could have a moon permanently at the same place between it and its sun.

Whomever said people could live in Mordor. They could survive in the barracks while the battallions assembled and most lived in Angmar.
well first they would need a tax policy

only the upper part of mordor is a hellscale. the lower part around the sea of nurn is inhabitable and where mordor gets all its food (farms worked by human slaves).

Yeah. A realistic Mordor is called Mordor.

Bit tricky to make it permanently dark, but constant volcanic gases would enable that. The secret is to get just the right amount of stable volcanic activity. The sulphur mine often has the sun blotted out, enabling the blue lava during the day.

No, that's not how that works. Things in Orbit only stay in orbit because of their angular momentum, it makes them constantly fall down but then miss the planet again, for all of eternity. A moon that was allways in the same place would simply crash into the planet. Only small objects can be stable in such a possition if they are around the first Langrangian point of the planet.
Remember that gravity is additive. A celestial body allways positioned between star and a planet, that is also big enaugh to cast a shadow of any size onto another planet would be so massive that the combined gravity of it and the planet itself and the star would pull bost planets out of orbit.
So barring magic, that doesn't work, no

Angmar was in the northern Misty Mountains several hundreds miles from Mordor, you profoundly stupid fuck.
Furthermore, Angmar had been destroyed after the Battle of Fornast over 1000 years before the events in LotR, you worthless douche.

I wonder if you can fart and chew gum at the same time.

Yeah, you're not thinking of mordor. You're thinking of Udun.
I'm just remembering Starcraft and Mass Effect, but I'm sure this is in a ton of science fiction. The Zerg and the Rachni are known for living on basically inhospitable planets. The kind where you can glass the surface and not make the planet any more difficult to live on.
Likewise, Jackson's Mordor could have people living underground in a Metro 2033 situation, or maybe Jackson Orcs are capable of breathing volcanic ash?
>>54960064
Pretty much this.

What about a geosynchronous orbit?

Are you honestly this autistically assblasted?
