Agrut had been betting that, as a noble, Alex would eventually have the opportunity for interplanar expeditions. Attaching Mordor to him was a calculated move.
Such expeditions usually gave the young orc the chance to test his skills across multiple battlefields, facing diverse opponents and combat styles. It was also more likely he'd encounter weaker enemies alongside stronger allies, compared to a direct battle on Pangea.
As for why Agrut chose Alex specifically, it was also obvious. He was the human noble with the closest ties to the Orc tribe who would genuinely care about Mordor's safety.
This, Alex knew, was the most crucial point.
Agrut was a Grand Mage connected to far higher and more influential nobles than Alex. But those nobles, busy with their own affairs and ambitions, could not be trusted to properly look after a promising youth.
