In the days of Turgon, Steward of Gondor, Sauron revealed himself. He had been driven from Mirkwood by Gandalf and the White Council in 2941 during Bilbo's adventure. Now it became widely known that the Necromancer was indeed Sauron and Mordor had been long prepared for him by his the Nazgul. "Then Barad-dur was raised once more, and Mount Doom burst into flame, and the last of the folk of Ithilien fled far away" (p. 335, The Return of the King).
