Núrn is a location in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War. It is a region which holds the inland Sea of Núrnen in the southernmost part of Mordor, below Udun.
In Shadow of War, Núrn is host to the fortress of Sharkhburz which means "dark-claw" in black speech.
Background
To outsiders, Mordor is often perceived as a dreaded realm, but this is not the case. Its southern region, Núrn, is fertile enough to feed the Dark Lord's armies.
Behind the scenes
It had a semi-arid climate because of its proximity to the plateau of Gorgoroth, and mostly consisted of fertile, grass landed plains used to support the armies of Sauron, in contrast to the dry plateau Gorgoroth to the northwest of Núrn.
