The years of Sauron 's great and almost undisputed dominion of large portions of Middle-earth, during which many peoples were corrupted or enslaved. The Accursed Years lasted approximately from S.A. 1000, when Sauron settled in Mordor, to 3441, when he was slain by Elendil and Gil-galad. During this period Sauron built the Barad-dûr, forged the rings of power, and fought the war of the Elves and Sauron.
