"Simply in after days he rose similar a shadow of Morgoth and a ghost of his malice, and walked behind him on the same ruinous path down into the Void."
― Valaquenta: Of the Enemies

Sauron was originally one of the greatest Maiar and a helper of Aulë named Mairon. Coveting the power through which he would coordinate all things according to his own will he joined with Melkor. As "Gorthaur" he became the most trusted lieutenant of Morgoth, being reckoned every bit the greatest of his allies and servants in the Wars of Beleriand. From his fortress of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, Sauron was directly responsible for the death of Barahir and after the Noldorin king Finrod during the Quest for the Silmaril. He demonstrated the ability to take the form of a wolf, a serpent, and a vampire.

Later on the downfall of Morgoth, Sauron continually strove to conquer Middle-world throughout the Second and 3rd Ages. In the Second Age, under the guise of Annatar, he deceived the Elves of Eregion, who under his guidance had created the Rings of Power, whilst he secretly forged the One Ring in Mount Doom. Thus Sauron became "The Lord of the Rings". Failing to corrupt the Elves, he assaulted the Westlands, beginning a menstruum chosen the Dark Years, when start time he became known as the Dark Lord. His influence corrupted the Númenóreans - leading to the devastation of Númenor - which led to Elendil founding the Realms in Exile of Arnor and Gondor. Elves and the Dúnedain, the descendants of the Númenóreans, formed the Last Alliance and, in S.A. 3441, Elendil and Elven High King Gil-galad died destroying Sauron's body. Following Sauron's defeat, Elendil'south son Isildur took the One Ring.

In the 3rd Age, Sauron returned to Eye-earth and, as the Necromancer, took the hill of Amon Lanc as his fortress of Dol Guldur; one of his primary servants, the Witch-king, formed the realm of Angmar in the n of Eriador. Following an assail by the White Quango in T.A. 2941, Sauron returned to his fortress of Barad-dûr in Mordor, marshalling his armies and using his two-faced vassal, Saruman. By T.A. 3018 Frodo Baggins was in possession of the Ring, and he was led by Gandalf as a member of the Fellowship of the Ring in the Quest of the Ring. Whilst Sauron waged the War of the Band confronting the Gratuitous peoples of Middle-earth, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee and Gollum reached Mountain Doom on 25 March T.A. 3019, and the Ring was destroyed. The breaking of the Ring caused Sauron's fall, and his stepping on Morgoth's path down into the Void, resulting in the start of the Fourth Age and the Rule of Men.

[edit] History

[edit] Origin

As one of the most powerful Maiar, Sauron was created by Ilúvatar before the Music of the Ainur.[1] At the offset of Time, he was amongst the Ainur who entered into Eä.[2] Here he became one of the Maiar of Aulë, amongst whose people he was deemed mighty and surpassed only by the Smith himself,[2] and was known every bit Mairon .[3]

Mairon's virtue was his love for order, planning and coordination, disliking confusion and chaos. But his obsession to guild gradually overshadowed his love for the other intelligent beings of Arda, who would benefit from his planning; it became the sole object of his will, the cease in itself. He started admiring Melkor's power to realize his designs quickly and masterfully.[4]

Early he was ensnared by Melkor, condign his greatest and most trusted retainer.[5] Thus he came to be known as Gorthaur past the Sindar of Beleriand and Sauron past others. Sauron initially wasn't as evil as Morgoth, as he was serving someone and not himself.[ii] Unlike Melkor, who wanted to unmake and corrupt the world, Sauron wished to rule it and do what he wanted with it.[4]

[edit] Kickoff Historic period

After Morgoth made his nifty fortress of Angband in the north-due west of Heart-earth, he appointed Sauron to exist its commander.[6] When the Valar captured Melkor at the Boxing of the Powers, they stormed and searched Utumno and Angband; however they failed to find Sauron.[6]

Sauron was become now a sorcerer of dreadful power, master of shadows and of phantoms, foul in wisdom, roughshod in strength, misshaping what he touched, twisting what he ruled, lord of werewolves; his dominion was torment.
—Quenta Silmarillion, "Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin"

With the unchaining of Morgoth and his subsequent devastation of the Two Copse of Valinor, the Sun first rose and ushered in the awakening of Men. Leaving Sauron in control of the state of war, Morgoth left Angband in secret to find the 2nd-built-in kindred of the Children of Ilúvatar and to corrupt them to his volition.[seven]

Later the Fall of Fingolfin, Sauron launched an attack on Tol Sirion. Utter fearfulness descended upon Orodreth and those who defended the island. Sauron assailed Minas Tirith and turned it into a spotter tower for Morgoth. Therein Sauron sat and Tol Sirion the fair became Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the Isle of Werewolves.[8]

Upon hearing of the deeds of Barahir and his companions, Morgoth ordered Sauron to observe and kill them. Gorlim, one of Barahir's companions, was captured and brought before Sauron. In that location Sauron promised that he would gratuitous Gorlim and his married woman Eilinel in return for information. Under the terror of Sauron'southward optics, Gorlim revealed everything he knew and thus the hiding identify of Barahir was betrayed to the enemy. Subsequently, Sauron revealed Eilinel was dead and had Gorlim put to decease.[ix]

Beren, son of Barahir, promised to avenge his father's death. He wandered Dorthonion as an outlaw and achieved great deeds that were heard far and wide. Thus Morgoth set a high toll on his head and Sauron, commanding a great regular army of werewolves and fell beasts, sought for Beren.[9]

Later, Finrod Felagund, Beren, and their ten companions left Nargothrond in search of the Silmarils. Despite their existence bearded equally Orcs, Sauron espied them as they entered into the vale between Ered Wethrin and Taur-nu-Fuin and was suspicious equally Orcs passing were supposed to report to him. He had them captured and they were brought to him. In that location Finrod and Sauron fought in songs of power; the strength of both was great, simply Sauron was more powerful. He then stripped them of their Orc disguise but failed to discern who they were. He had them thrown into a dark pit where ane by one they were devoured by a werewolf. Withstanding this horror, they refused to betray i another.[9]

When all of their companions were dead, Finrod and Beren were the last who remained live in Sauron'southward pit. When a werewolf went to assault Beren, Finrod Felegund used all his power to defeat it. In this he was successful. Nonetheless, he was critically wounded and soon passed away. In that dark moment, Lúthien came to the bridge of Tol-in-Gaurhoth and sang. From his tower of Minas Tirith, Sauron saw Lúthien and knew that it was the famous daughter of Melian and Thingol. He desired to capture her and manus her over to Morgoth. Therefore he sent a wolf to the bridge, just information technology was quickly and silently slain by Huan. He sent many more and each i Huan killed. Finally, he sent Draugluin, sire of the werewolves of Angband. The fight between Huan and Draugluin was fierce. Eventually Draugluin fled and, before dying, he told his master that Huan was there. Therefore Sauron took the form of a werewolf, the greatest the globe had ever seen, and went towards the bridge. And then swell was the terror of his approach that even Huan momentarily recoiled. Sauron leaped to assault Lúthien, only she drew her magic veil over his eyes afflicting him with fatigue and blindness, so Huan sprang upon Sauron and there they fought. The force of Sauron's malice solitary left Lúthien weak and about unconscious, and the fighting was brutal and prolonged; however, he could non subdue the hound of Valinor. He was trapped inside Huan's jaws and could not suspension complimentary, even when he took the form of a serpent and finally his own shape. Rather than leave his physical form, he yielded to Lúthien, giving her control of the isle in return for his release. He and then took the course of a vampire and fled to Taur-nu-Fuin, filling the forest with horror.[9]

Afterward the War of Wrath, with the downfall of Morgoth and the devastation of Thangorodrim, Sauron adopted a fair form and repented his evil deeds in fear of the wrath of the Valar. Eönwë then ordered Sauron to return to Valinor in order to receive the judgement of Manwë. Sauron was not willing to suffer such humiliation and so he fled and hid himself in Eye-world.[five]

[edit] 2nd Age

Information technology was 500 years into the 2nd Age when Sauron started to stir up again.[10] Sauron decided that the Valar had forgotten about Center-world and he once again turned to evil; many Men in East and South, already corrupted by Melkor, cruel nether the Shadow by following him.[5] By S.A. 882, Gil-galad sensed a shadow arising in the East and sent a warning to Númenor.[11] Effectually S.A. 1000 Sauron was alarmed by the growing power of the Númenóreans, and chose Mordor every bit a land to make into a stronghold. He began the edifice of Barad-dûr, the Dark Tower, most Mount Doom.[10]

Although Sauron long knew that Men were easier to sway, he sought to bring the Elves into his service, as they were far more than powerful.[5] After lying hidden and increasing his ability in secret, in Southward.A. 1200 Sauron put on a fair visage, calling himself Annatar, the Lord of Gifts, an emissary from the Valar. He was never welcome in Lindon as Elrond and Gil-galad did not trust him and refused to treat with him, although they did not perceive who he truly was.[five]

Elsewhere Annatar was gladly received, especially in Eregion where only Galadriel distrusted him. The Noldorin smiths there learned much from him in art and magic, as their thirst for knowledge was great.[12] [10] Under the tutelage of Annatar and the leadership of Celebrimbor, grandson of Fëanor, the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, became more skilled than anyone else, save for Fëanor himself. In the year S.A. 1500, when they reached the very height of their power, the Elves began the forging of the Rings of Power which co-ordinate to Annatar would help them preserve their powers over Middle-earth.

But Sauron was ready to begin his ain plans, and in S.A. 1600 - ten years after the completion of the Rings of Power - he created The I Ring to control the bearers of the other Rings. For this he invested most of his own power into the Ring every bit he forged it, then that it would exist more than powerful than the others. With its power he completed the building of the Dark Belfry.[5] [10]

But the Elves were not and so easily ensnared, and every bit presently as Sauron put on the Ane Ring they and Celebrimbor were aware of him, and realised they were betrayed.[12] [10] They hid their Rings from Sauron and did non use them. Sauron demanded that the other Rings be given to him, for they would not have been made without his knowledge. The Elves refused, and the State of war was inevitable.[5]

[edit] The Black Years

In this fourth dimension Sauron constructed the Black Gate of Mordor to foreclose invasion; and raised massive armies of Orcs, Trolls, and Men, chiefly Easterlings and Southrons whom he dominated as a king and god. He had them brand many fortified towns and armed those nether him with iron.[13] [5]

The War of the Elves and Sauron began in S.A. 1693 and was a bloody conflict which destroyed Eregion and devastated much of Eriador.[10] Celebrimbor was slain and his body impaled on a fasten paraded at the head of Sauron'southward legions. The Elves were pushed back almost to the Blue Mountains, while their Dwarf allies (who had also rejected Sauron) retreated behind the walls of Moria where Sauron could not assail them.

Sauron was the Dark Lord of almost all of Middle-earth across the coasts, but the Númenóreans responded to the Elves' call for aid and sent a relief forcefulness. With united forces, Sauron's army was driven back and defeated near the Sarn Ford and withdrew to Tharbad where he was reinforced. But the Númenórean admiral Ciryatur had sent a armada up the river Gwathló and Sauron's army was attacked in the rear and utterly defeated. The Dark Lord fled back to Mordor with little more than his ain babysitter and a handful of orcs.[14]

Even so, while Sauron'southward subsequent ability never quite matched the height it had during the War with the Elves, many of his most powerful enemies' homelands had been devastated. As the Númenóreans established dominions effectually the Westlands (c. Southward.A. 1800),[10] Sauron's empire continued to expand to boss barbarian Men as servants and worshippers to the far south and eastward.[13] [15]

Equally the Elves had failed him, he had decided to distribute the Rings of Ability to three corrupted lords of Númenor[16] and an Easterling king and other 5 Men, as well as lords of the Dwarves. The Dwarves proved too hardy and resistant to their furnishings; merely the Men eventually faded and in S.A. 2251 they appeared as Ringwraiths, his greatest slaves.[10]

Believing he would boss all of the Centre-world, Sauron assumed many glorious titles: King of Kings,[17] King of Men,[16] Lord of the Earth,[5] and even Lord of the World.[17]

[edit] On Númenor

This offended the big-headed Númenóreans who had already started to fall nether the Shadow. The proud Númenóreans came to Middle-globe with great strength of arms, and Sauron'southward forces fled. Realising he could not defeat the Numenoreans with war machine strength, Sauron allowed himself to be taken as a earnest to Númenor past Rex Ar-Pharazôn in S.A. 3262.[10]

There, he chop-chop grew from captive to adviser and was known equally Zigûr, the Wizard;[18] he seduced the King and farther corrupted the people.[x] He converted many Númenóreans to the worship of Darkness, becoming High Priest of the Cult of Melkor. He had the White Tree cut downward and in its place raised a great temple in which he performed human sacrifices, persecuting those who were notwithstanding Faithful. Finally, he convinced the king to rebel against the Valar and attack Valinor itself, claiming they would proceeds immortality. Eru, the supreme god, so directly intervened: Númenor was drowned under the sea, and the great navy of Númenor was destroyed.

Sauron was on Númenor in the Temple of Melkor and was caught in the ensuing flood. Notwithstanding his spirit survived, although severely weakened by the destruction, and fled dorsum to Middle-earth.

[edit] Confronting the Faithful

Sauron'southward spirit returned to Mordor in S.A. 3320,[10] where he slowly rebuilt his forcefulness, and he was unable to assume a fair shape. From this signal on he started to rule through terror and force, largely filling the fearsome role left vacant past his former master.

Meanwhile, a few faithful Númenóreans, led by Elendil, were saved from the flood, and they founded Gondor and Arnor in Centre-globe. Sauron still considered them his hated enemies and he launched a pre-emptive assault on Gondor in S.A. 3429.[x]

In response, the Númenóreans formed the Terminal Alliance with the Elven-king Gil-galad. Learning of them Sauron dispatched some Orcs of Mordor to the Misty Mountains to deadfall them.[19] He also burned the gardens of the Entwives against the advance of the Allies downward the Anduin.[20] Nonetheless the Allies reached Mordor and defeated Sauron'southward forces in the Boxing of Dagorlad in South.A. 3434 and finally laid siege before Barad-dûr.[10]

The siege lasted for seven years until Southward.A. 3441, when Sauron left his fortress engaging in direct combat. Elendil and Gil-galad fought Sauron and vanquished him, but both were killed.[10] Isildur, son of Elendil, cut the I Ring from Sauron's finger and claimed information technology. Afterwards, the Ring betrayed him and was lost for more than than ii thousand years. Later his defeat in the War of the Last Brotherhood, Sauron had lost his ability to form a physical body for a groovy while.

[edit] Tertiary Age

Sauron'south defeat released his subjects, like the Easterlings, from his tyranny, just they brutal into anarchy. Their tribes and kingdoms battled confronting each other and some withdrew to the hated west.[21] Weakened by his defeat and the loss of the One Ring, it is thought that he fled to the far east to regain his power and force before returning.

Information technology was non until c. T.A. 1000 that Sauron could once more brainstorm to take shape. Worried past this prospect, the Valar sent five Maiar from the Due west to assist the peoples of Middle-world confronting Sauron.[22]

His power was plenty that he began over again to throw a shadow beyond portions of Middle-earth. Manifestly Sauron's spirit managed to move some Easterlings who invaded Rhovanion and came to the Vales of Anduin.[23]

[edit] The Necromancer

These moves coincided with the coming of the Shadow to Greenwood the Great.[24] Around 1050 he chose a hill in southern Greenwood as a place to build the fortress of Dol Guldur. At first, the Wise thought that this "Necromancer" was ane of the Nazgûl who had returned and taken upwards residence in southern Greenwood.[25]

The year T.A. 1300 marked Sauron's increased power, evidenced by "evil things" who multiplied and grew bold once again, like the Orcs of the Misty Mountains and some of the Dragons, who attacked the Dwarves; and the return of the Nazgûl, with the founding of the evil realm of Angmar.[25] In the following centuries, his subjects in Angmar, the East and the South concentrated against his ancient enemies. Kings Araphant of Arnor and Ondoher of Gondor realised that a single forcefulness was co-ordinating the attacks on both of their kingdoms and that they should work together to combat this evil. Notwithstanding Angmar was successful in destroying Arnor and soon after the Nazgûl gathered in Mordor and conquered Minas Ithil to prepare Sauron's return; their final success was ending the royal line of Gondor.[26] [five] [25] Every bit his shadow deepened, a balrog awoke causing the desertion of Moria.[25]

By T.A. 2060 the power of Dol Guldur grew so much that the Wise were alerted that Sauron was returning. Gandalf entered the fortress in 2063 just the shadow fled before him to avoid his revelation. Returning to the East,[25] and started corrupting the Easterlings and forging a stiff brotherhood between their tribes. The flow of his absence was known as the Watchful Peace , because the Shadow on Mirkwood had lessened and the Nazgûl stayed tranquility in Minas Morgul[25] using this period to gear up for Sauron'due south return.

[edit] Return to Dol Guldur

The Necromancer returned in 2460 more powerful, with many Men in his service, and once more took upwardly residence in Dol Guldur.[25] His return coincided with the 1 Band revealing itself three years afterward, falling in the easily of a Stoor. Feeling the danger, the Wise formed the White Council.[25]

The Necromancer'southward aims remained to gather the Rings of Ability, find news most the One, and eliminate the Heir of Isildur, if anyone remained in Centre-earth.[27] [25] In T.A. 2475 the Uruk-hai exited Mordor and briefly conquered Ithilien. By some years after the Orcs of the Mountains organized themselves blocking the passes to the West; Moria had been depopulated centuries earlier by the Balrog, and Sauron sent his creatures (Orcs and Trolls) there.[25] Under his shadow were also the Balchoth who invaded Mirkwood and too cooperated with Orcs to assail Gondor.[28] His servants captured the Dwarf King Thráin Two and taken one of the Seven Dwarf rings from him.[25]

Still investigating the Necromancer, Gandalf sneaked into Dol Guldur in 2850 and met the dying Dwarf King, learning that the Necromancer was none other than Sauron. The side by side yr Gandalf informed the White Council and urged an immediate attack upon the fortress; but Saruman the White had learned of the presence of the Ruling Ring near the Gladden Fields; he idea best to allow Sauron to build upwardly his force in society to reveal its location so that Saruman could seize it himself. Following this strategy, Saruman opposed Gandalf.[25]

As his power was growing and his arising came closer, his minions moved again against Gondor; his agents stirred the Haradrim to resume attacking Gondor, while Uruk-hai and Orcs of Mordor infested Ithilien[28] [25] only never managed to pass beyond Anduin, further into Gondor.[29] All this time Sauron manifestly had learned virtually the Disaster of the Gladden Fields where his erstwhile enemy Isildur was killed, soon after his own demise, almost 3 millennia agone. He had put his minions look around Anduin near the Gladden Fields for the 1 Ring, not knowing that it had been already in the possession of a Stoor.[25]

[edit] Attack of the White Council

Considering the situations, and the occupation of the dragon Smaug of Erebor, Gandalf was worried that Sauron's military assault against the Due west was a matter of time, and that he would employ Smaug in his forcefulness; Gandalf started considering a simultaneous attack both against Dol Guldur and against Smaug, to weaken Sauron.[thirty]

In T.A. 2939 Saruman learned that Sauron was searching for the Ring, and worried that he would find information technology sooner than him. In 2941 he conceded with Gandalf to attack him.[25] Indeed, in the concurrently Gandalf non only managed to eliminate Smaug, but also the Orcs of the Mountains were decimated in an ensuing battle, allowing the Kingdom Under the Mountain and of Dale to flourish once again.[30] [31]

Although Gandalf was weakening Sauron's potential grasp in the N,[30] Sauron had been expecting the White Quango's attack against Dol Guldur and fled from in that location.[25]

[edit] Return to Mordor

The Nazgûl had been preparing Barad-dûr for Sauron's return, so it was easy for Sauron to return secretly to his old stronghold a year later. Sauron alleged himself openly in T.A. 2951, sent three Nazgûl back to Dol Guldur and started rebuilding the Nighttime Tower, and one time it was completed, the Mountain Doom erupted.[28] [25]

From then on Sauron stayed in Barad-dûr to carry his war on the Costless peoples. The shadow of Mordor caused despair and sickness to the Gondorians, like Finduilas, and in his desperation, the Steward Denethor, Sauron'southward most immediate enemy used the Anor-rock to gain noesis. That palantir was directly linked to the Ithil-stone that the Nazgûl had snatched from Minas Morgul, and when Sauron used information technology, he discovered Denethor was using his. Sauron attempted to wrench the Anor-stone to his will, simply failed due to Denethor'due south force of volition and birth-correct to the stone. Only this stressed and wore-out the steward, who lost his promise.[28] [32]

By T.A. 3000 the shadow lengthened, and Saruman, who was residing in Orthanc, had secretly found and decided to use the Orthanc-stone. As happened with Denethor, Sauron linked with his mind, managing to enslave him;[25] from one of his wisest enemies, Saruman became one of his greatest servants.

Around T.A. 3009 Gollum, who formerly diameter the I Ring and now pursued its thief, ventured into Mordor and was captured by Sauron's minions. Gollum was tortured and interrogated for the following years,[25] and before releasing him, Sauron learned that the One Ring had been plant by Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.

Sauron bred immense armies of Orcs and allied with or enslaved Men from the east and south. He adopted the symbol of a lidless eye, and he was able at that time to send out his will over Middle-earth, so that the Centre of Sauron was a symbol of power and fear.

[edit] The War of the Ring

Sauron was alarmed when the Elves of Mirkwood[25] captured Gollum and sent the Nazgûl out to set on Osgiliath and chase for the Ring. Sauron had two purposes in making this assault: start, to test the strength and preparedness of Denethor; and second (and more than importantly) to brand the advent of the Nazgûl seem to exist only a military strength, hiding from the Wise their mission to hunt for the One Band.[29] As Denethor'due south forces were stronger than Sauron hoped,[29] the following months Sauron continued to amass his forces in Mordor preparing for a full assault confronting Gondor.[33]

The armies managed to conquer half of Osgiliath, assuasive the Nazgûl to begin their search for "the Shire",[29] merely to discover that both Bilbo and his nephew, Frodo, had departed. Unbeknownst to Sauron, Frodo had, at the behest of Gandalf, joined the Fellowship of the Band on a quest to destroy the Ring. He rallied his vast armies to conquer the resistance's strongholds, and sent the Ringwraiths to find and impale Frodo. At nearly this time, he as well learned that Aragorn, Isildur'south heir, had also joined the Fellowship, his plans were altered[34] and proceeded hastily with his set up forces.

When Saruman's ground forces was defeated at Isengard, Pippin looked into the Palantir of Orthanc and saw Sauron, who idea the Hobbit was a prisoner of Saruman. After Aragorn used the Palantir to reveal himself to Sauron. Sauron fabricated the premature conclusion that Aragorn had the Ring, and sent an army allowable by his strongest servant, the Witch-King of Angmar, to overthrow Minas Tirith. This battle would become known as the Boxing of the Pelennor Fields.

Although Sauron lost the Boxing of Pelennor Fields, the gratuitous forces of the West were greatly weakened, and Sauron however had sufficient armies in reserve to ensure military victory. He was outwitted, however, past the strategy of Gandalf, who urged the captains of the Free peoples to march against Sauron, thus diverting the Dark Lord's eye from the existent threat of Frodo, the Ring Bearer, who was nearing the end of his quest to destroy the One Band.

Frodo, yet, failed at the terminal moment, unable to resist the power of the Band at the place of its nascency. Sauron saw Frodo every bit he put on the band and, realising he had been tricked, sent the Nazgul to Mountain Doom. But Gollum inadvertently saved Frodo past recovering the Band in a drastic attempt to possess information technology, and then falling with it into the fire. Thus Sauron's power was unmade, and his corporeal power in Center-earth came to an cease. His spirit towered above Mordor like a black deject, but was diddled away by a powerful wind from the West. Sauron was now permanently crippled, never to rising again, following his onetime master Morgoth into the Void. [2] His retainer Saruman would suffer a similar fate.

[edit] Appearance

[edit] Physical form

Tolkien'south unfinished sketch of Sauron, apparently showing him but after the destruction of the Band

At first Sauron appeared every bit a imperial and commanding figure in a strong body. He was likewise able to veil his power and change his shape. Later even so he could take but a terrible class, of a stature slightly greater than a Man'due south,[35] "an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure."[sixteen] Isildur recounted that at the Siege of Barad-dûr, Sauron's hand was black with a deadly called-for touch.[12] Gollum will as well call him "Blackness Hand", noticing he but had four fingers after Isildur cut one off.[36]

[edit] Eye of Sauron

The Eye of Sauron, called by various names, was the symbol of Sauron the Night Lord following the loss of the One Band. This symbol was adopted to evidence his unceasing vigilance and piercing perception, and was displayed on the weaponry of his servants, or at to the lowest degree the orcs.

Sauron'due south Eye every bit Frodo sees it in the Mirror of Galadriel is the but characteristic of his afterward form described in particular. It is xanthous and rimmed with burn down, with a slit pupil, "a window into zilch."[37] The colour is compared to that of a cat'south center, just considering of the references to Sauron's Lidless Eye, it may too resemble that of a snake, such as an adder. Readers differ as to whether Sauron'due south eyes were literally lidless and resembled what Frodo saw, or instead the Eye was just a symbol that Frodo saw in the Mirror in an elaborate form.

[edit] Etymology

Sauron (pron. [ˈsaʊron])[note ane] is a Quenya name, said to mean "the Abhorred".[38]

Several accounts of the origin of the name Sauron were suggested in different linguistic manuscripts:

  • deriving from Quenya saura ("foul, evil-smelling, putrid", from the root THUS).[39]
  • deriving from Quenya saura ("foul, vile"; from root SAWA). The manuscript continues maxim that Sauron "could be a genuine Sindarin formation from saur; but is probably from Quenya". Notwithstanding, this origin appears to take been rejected, as information technology is followed by the comment "No. THAW-, cruel. Saura, fell" in the manuscript.[40]
  • deriving from the Primitive Quendian course þaurond- (formed from the adjective þaurā "detestable", from root THAW).[41]
  • deriving from Thauron , which includes the Sindarin element thaur ("abominable, abhorrent"; too found in Gorthaur ).[42]

Gorthaur was a name used of Sauron by the Sindar during the First Age,[two] [43] meaning "Terrible Dread". The proper noun is composed of the elements gor ("horror, dread") and thaur ("beastly, abhorrent").[42] The Quenya equivalent was Ñorsus .[3]

In some of Tolkien's notes from the 1950s, it is said that Sauron'south original name was Mairon (Q, "the Admirable"), merely this was altered after he was suborned by Melkor. He connected to telephone call himself Mairon the Admirable, or Tar-mairon ("Rex Excellent"), until after Númenor's downfall,[3] although he could not use that name in Númenor, every bit it was a Quenya proper name with regal implications. There he was called Zigûr ,[18] meaning "Magician" in Adûnaic.[44]

Annatar is Quenya for "Lord of Gifts", from anna + tar.[45] It tin be noticed that Morgoth used a similar name when he seduced the first Men: "Giver of Gifts".[46] In an isolated notation, Tolkien gives other names used by Sauron when he seduced the Elves in the Second Age: Artano ("High-smith") and Aulendil ("Devoted to Aulë").[47]

Among his many titles and epithets were:

  • The Base Master of Treachery, used once by Gandalf to explicate why the Mouth of Sauron should not exist trusted.[48]
  • The Black I, used one time by Gollum.[49]
  • The Blackness Hand, used twice by Gollum.[36]
  • The Blackness Primary, used by Isildur when cursing Sauron'southward one-time servants, the Oathbreakers.[34]
  • The Dark Lord, given by the Free Peoples subsequently he rose in the 2nd Historic period.[5]
  • The Night Ability, used by Gandalf.[fifty]
  • The Deceiver, given past Amandil earlier departing to inquire the Valar deliverance from Sauron's corruption.[16]
  • The Enemy, given by the Free Peoples subsequently he rose in the Second Age.[5]
  • The One Enemy, used one time by Frodo Baggins. [51]
  • The Great, post-obit the proper noun of Sauron, it is only used once by Gandalf,[50] once by Glóin,[12] and one time by the Mouth of Sauron.[48]
  • King of Kings, given by himself when he rose in the Second Historic period, enraging Ar-Pharazôn.[17]
  • Lord of the World, given by himself when he rose in the Second Age.[v]
  • King of Men, given past himself when he rose in the Second Historic period, enraging Ar-Pharazôn.[sixteen]
  • Lord of the World, given by himself when he rose in the Second Age, enraging Ar-Pharazôn.[17]
  • The Necromancer, used during his rule in Dol Guldur when his identity was unknown.[12]
  • The Nameless, probably given by the people of Gondor, as it is only used by Boromir equally Nameless Enemy,[12] by Faramir as Nameless One,[52] and by the watchmen of Gondor.[53]
  • The Lord of the Ring or Lord of the Rings.
  • The Ring-maker.[50]
  • The Ruler, used one time past Saruman during his confrontation with Gandalf.[12]
  • The Shadow, non properly given to him, but to his ability when he expanded it in the Third Historic period.[v]
  • The Magician, used during his rule in Dol Guldur when his identity was unknown.[12]

[edit] Other versions of the legendarium

Since the earliest versions of the legendarium, Sauron has undergone many changes. The prototype of this character was Tevildo, lord of the cats, who played the role later taken by Sauron in the earliest version of the story of Beren and Lúthien in The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, "The Tale of Tinúviel". Morgoth likewise had another servant named Fankil who led evil Dwarves and notably acted as his lieutenant, a office causeless by Sauron in the last works.

Tevildo later was transformed into Thû, the Necromancer -the first proper iteration of the later Sauron. The proper noun was then inverse to Gorthû, Sûr, and finally to Sauron. Gorthû, in the course Gorthaur remained in The Silmarillion.

Prior to the publication of The Silmarillion, Sauron'southward origins and true identity were unclear to those without full access to Tolkien's notes. In early editions of The Guide to Middle Globe, Sauron is described as "probably of the Eldar elves".

[edit] The Necromancer

In The Hobbit the Necromancer is an obscure villainous entity mentioned fleetingly by Gandalf equally i of the dangers of the wider world. He is peripheral to the plot of the book: explaining why the company takes the dangerous route though Mirkwood rather than going effectually, and providing a reason for Gandalf'due south absence for that section of the journey. Thematically the Necromancer, a truly 'terrible' force beyond the power of the main protagonists, gives the globe of The Hobbit a greater level of reality which Tolkien felt was necessary for a "fairy-tale" to ring true.[54]

Despite the alias information technology would appear that the Necromancer was ever intended to represent Sauron, a figure from the very primeval phases of his legendarium (every bit Tevildo in "The Tale of Tinúviel"). Soon after the publication of The Hobbit Tolkien wrote:

Mr Baggins began as a comic tale among conventional and inconsistent Grimm's fairy-tale dwarves, and got drawn into the edge of it – and then that even Sauron the terrible peeped over the edge.
—Letter 19

Indeed, in the Lay of Leithian, Thû is called a "necromancer" who "held his hosts of phantoms and of wandering ghosts" (50. 2075) in Tol-in-Gaurhoth.[55]

However, every bit The Hobbit was not originally intended to be integrated with Tolkien's wider mythology the Necromancer did not necessarily need to exist consequent with his Offset Age counterpart Sauron, rather the 2 were loosely linked to add an 'impression of depth' to the narrative of The Hobbit. With Tolkien'south conclusion to merge the ii 'worlds' and brand Sauron the key antagonist Lord of the Rings came the need to reconcile the two figures and business relationship for his whereabouts in the millennia betwixt the stop of the Kickoff Age and his dwelling house in Bilbo's Mirkwood. This was largely achieved in the Tale of Years, with Sauron becoming a much greater figure after the fall of his primary, one who arguably drove the history of the entire Second and Third Ages of Middle-earth.

Fans have noted that the alias "Necromancer" for Sauron is obscure, equally in the context of neither The Hobbit nor The Lord of the Rings Sauron is e'er specifically mentioned to use necromancy, i.due east. controlling the spirits of the expressionless.[56]

A later essay mentions the practice of necromancy concerning the fëar of the Unbodied Elves, mentioning that Sauron possibly did so and also taught his followers,[57] although this reference isn't given in context of the story.
