The Dagorlad:
The Battle-plain. The Dagorlad was in front of the Black Gate
and bordered on at least one side by the Dead Marshes, which had
been creeping over the edges. At least two battles have been fought
on the Dagorlad, before the War of the Ring: that of the Last Alliance
in the year 3434 of the Second Age, and at least one battle with
the Wainriders.

The Dead Marshes:
The Dead Marshes are to the north-west of the Dagorlad. They gained
this name after years of slow creeping over the edges of the graves
on the Dagorlad.
The hobbits soon found that what had looked
like one vast fen was really an endless network of pools, and
soft mires, and winding half-strangled watercourses. (LOTR.651)
Somehow, the faces of the Dead, could be seen especially at night,
an Age later:
They lie in all the pools, pale faces, deep
deep under the dark water. I saw them: grim faces and evil, and
noble faces and sad. Many faces proud and fair, and weeds in
their silver hair. But all foul, all rotting, all dead. A fell
light is in them. (LOTR.653)
Nobody knows by what dark magic these faces are still visible.
