Here in this video we will dive deep and reveal to you guys the timeline and history of Sauron throughout the ages of Arda, from before the valian years to the end of the third age.
The story begins with the creation of the Ainur in the days before days. They are taught the art of music, which becomes the subject of their immortal lives. These l spirit beings include the Valar and the maiar, one of the latter would be known as Mairon, the first and original name of Sauron.
Since the creation of the world, Melkor had been tainting and disrupted their works, including that of Mairon who would later be known as Sauron. It wasn’t until the Valar Tulkas descended into Arda that Melkor fled. Mairon would then work with Aule in healing the damage
It was around this time, in the 3400th Valian year which translates to around 32,578 solar years after descending into Arda, that Mairon would be seduced by Melkor into becoming his spy and continue to reside in the island of Almaren.
- When Melkor fled and established his strongholds in Middle-earth, Mairon left Valinor and openly declared his allegiance, becoming known now as Sauron. This coincided with the awakening of the elder children of illuvatar, the elves in the far east of middle earth.
During this time, Melkor built his second, lesser fortress of Angband in the west. Angband was delved into the Iron Mountains, and was given to Sauron to command. It was with Sauron's aid that Melkor was able to breed Orcs, in mockery of the Children of Ilúvatar. When the valar defeated and captured Melkor, Sauron hid & remained dormant inside the pits of the dark.
After his defeat by Lúthien, Sauron played little role in the remainder of the First Age, possibly hiding from Morgoth’s wrath. When Morgoth was defeated and taken to Valinor in chains, Sauron appeared to repent and sought mercy from Eönwë and the Host of the West. However, unwilling to face judgment in the Utter West, he fled and hid in Middle-earth.
It is in this year, that Sauron once again takes on a fair form and calls himself the Lord of gifts or Annatar, as an emissary of the valar. Sauron endeavours to seduce the Eldar but the high king Gil-galad refuses to treat with him; however, the smiths of Eregion were enticed.
The Ring was forged around the year SA 1600, within the cracks of doom upon Mount Doom. Sauron knew that the One Ring would require an extraordinary amount of power, as such, he concentrated within the Ring a great part of his own soul. In this way, Sauron's fate became bound to that of the Ring. This was the one ring to dominate all the other rings of power.
The War of the Last Alliance began and was fought by the Last Alliance of Elves and Men against the Dark Lord Sauron in response to his threat of conquest. This ended in the deaths of high king Gil Galad and King elendil, as well as Isildur cutting off the one ring from Sauron's hand, effectively winning the war at the footsteps of Mount Doom.
The events of the lord of the rings in the final phases takes place in this year, with the one ring finally being destroyed in Mount Doom and Sauron defeated for the final time with his final fate becoming as a spirit no longer with the power to create a new body and take shape again.
