History FanFic / TheServantsOfUngoliant

* CrapsackWorld: Especially to anyone (or anything) smaller than a fully-grown dragon.

''The Servants of Ungoliant'' is set in the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen unused]] continent known as Mórenorë, the Dark Land. It focuses on Ungoliant, a minor villain from TheSilmarillion, who becomes the ruler of an entire continent in the Southern regions of Arda.

** MookCarryover: Many of these were Melkor's minions (most of which were characters [[WhatCouldHaveBeen that were never actually featured in Tolkien's officially released canon]]) are depicted in this story as Ungoliant's [[{{Mook}} Mooks]].

* [[{{Mook}} Mooks]]: Ungoliant's minions, thralls, and other subjects include [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Gongs]], [[OurOgresAreHungrier Sarqindi]],[[OurGiantsAreBigger Giants]], Darklanders, [[WackyWaysideTribe Greblings]], [[EldritchAbomination Delvers of the Deep]], and ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Pygmies]]''.

* {{Mordor}}: Zig-zagged. While "Dark Land" is the literal translation of Mordor, the continent is known as "Mórenorë", and is mostly fertile, being covered primarily in jungles and mountains. The south-western region is mostly a black wasteland with a [[AlienSky sky that is red during the day, and pitch-black at night]], but it is not caused by the presence of volcanos (although the nearby Black Mountains are in fact volcanos, they are mostly dormant, with only enough activity to produce hot springs), but by liberation from the frozen Southern Wastes, combined with a significant distance from the Sun and the Moon.

* PatchworkFic: Features characters, locations, and other elements from ''[[TheHistoryOfMiddleEarth]]'', ''Tabletop/MiddleEarthRolePlaying'', and various Fanon based on ''TheSilmarillion''.

* TheSavageSouth: Mórenorë to Middle-earth.

''The Servants of Ungoliant'' is set in the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen unused]] continent known as the Dark Land. It focuses on Ungoliant, a major villain from TheSilmarillion, who becomes the ruler of an entire continent in the Southern regions of Arda.

This story is essentially an ElsewhereFic, and features very few canon characters from the Tolkien legendarium, though it is still set in the same universe and time period as ''TheSilmarillion'' (to be specific, the late First Age). Only a handful of canon characters appear or are even referenced in the story, while the rest of the characters are either [[CanonForeigner derived from licensed Tolkien-related works]], or [[OriginalCharacter created exclusively for the story]]. ''Servants'' also utilizes various unused/obscure elements from ''TheHistoryOfMiddleEarth'', MiddleEarthRolePlaying, and other non-canonical material.

* LostWorld: The Dark Land is mostly covered in jungles, and is inhabited by many strange and unknown creatures.

* {{Mordor}}: Subverted. Though the south-west region of the Dark Land (where Ungoliant established her lair) may appear to be a black wasteland with large, forbidding mountains, a red sky, and a massive trench-like chasm extending from north to south, it is not volcanic, and traveling through is not as dangerous as the TropeNamer. Nevertheless, it is still a very strange and treacherous environment to live in, especially in comparison to the rest of the continent.
* MysteriousAntarctica: The Southern Wastes. Though the Dark Land in general could fit this trope, since it is the southernmost landmass in Arda.
