The world of Arda was shaped not only by the craftsmanship of its peoples but also by the machinery they devised to aid them in warfare, construction, and daily life. Though Middle-earth never saw the widespread use of industrial technology, great civilizations such as Númenor, Khazad-dûm, Eregion and Lords of Essence developed intricate mechanisms that harnessed the power of gears, pulleys, and counterweights. Some of these machines were driven by steam, gears, or dark sorcery, while others were simply masterworks of engineering beyond the skill of later ages. From war engines to underground forges, machinery played a crucial role in shaping the great works of Arda.
