Yo, whoever wrote this didn't read the book or even see the movie. Opening damn paragraph shows that
"In J.R.R. Tolkien’s great epic, The Lord of the Rings, it becomes apparent only gradually that the forces of darkness have united. Sauron, with his baleful all-seeing eye, emerges as the leader of a vast axis of evil: the Black Riders, the corrupted wizard Saruman, the subhuman orcs, the malignant courtier Wormtongue, the giant venomous spider Shelob — they are all in it together, and Mordor is their headquarters."
These are explicitly not united forces of darkness. Saruman is trying to play both sides of the fence and sucks at it, wormtongue is some dude he bribed into being evil, Shelob is a descendant of a Lovecraftian evil that isn't allied to anyone and the Nazgul are saurons slaves. They are not at all in it together and Mordor is Sauron's headquarters and that's it. Saruman lives in Orthanc, Wortongue lives in Rohan, Shelob lives in a cave, the nazgul live in Minas Morgul and orcs live just about everywhere. Also Sauron doesn't have an all seeing eye or he would've gotten the ring back hundreds of years prior.
