I take it the volcano and flood is the beginning of Mordor, or the transformation of the southlands into Mordor.

Mount Doom far precedes the second age, but Tolkien can be so convoluted and confusing I think for simplicity's sake the way The Rings of Power is presenting it works better.

Hallbrand and Adar clearly have history, and the show has done a remarkable job at leading the viewer to believe one thing. I don't think Hallbrand is Sauron; I'm now leaning toward the Witch-king of Angmar or one of the nine Nazgul, if anything.
