Probably because the zone was very bright and the Covenant was a mass of idiots knowingly serving their enemy’s purpose.

Yeah pretty much all the covenants except the Night Fae are completely idiotic.
But Revendreth freaks me out the most because I can’t imagine what sociopath comes up with the idea of depicting a bunch of torture happy sadistic vampires as good guys. And the fact that there is no standard for who does and doesn’t get sent there except the casual whims of the Arbiter is extremely upsetting.
In other words, Star Trek with the Federation guarding the “Prime Directive” while other forces (i.e. Sauren and the Romulans) are taking advantage of a less advanced civilization.
I would have no problem with that.
Of course the Silmarillion has Sauren’s back story so we all know where he originated.
