Black PitsThe dungeons of the Dark TowerThe dungeons and torture chambers of Sauron beneath his Dark Tower of Barad-dûr. In the text of the The Lord of the Rings the term is used without explanation by the Orc Shagrat (as for example in, 'The Black Pits take that filthy rebel Gorbag!'),2 but in his expanded index to the book Tolkien explains that Shagrat was referring to the real torture pits of Sauron.
