![]() Nonetheless even with several armies they couldn't defeat Sauron. If the Dwarves and the Galadhrim had not come to aid in time they would've been dead. Plus, magical items.Įlrond and Glorfindel and Galadriel and Celeborn were this close to be slaughtered. I know Celebrimbor wasn't that powerful, but he must've had a far better armor and sword than Fingolfin. Sauron at his peak defeated Eregion and allies. "Fingolfin was the strongest, the most steadfast, and the most valiant." - Later Silmarillion, Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië "These two kinsfolk (Fëanor and Galadriel), the greatest of the Eldar in Valinor, were unfriends for ever." "Who together with the greatest of all the Eldar, Luthien Tinuviel, daughter of Elu Thingol, are the chief matter of the legends and histories of the Elves." - People of Middle-earth, The Shibboleth of Feanor Morgoth had let most of his being pass into the physicalĬonstituents of the Earth" - Morgoth's Ring, Myths Transformed But he was not obliged toĮxpend so much of himself. Why? Because, though he wasįar smaller by natural stature, he had not yet fallen so low.Įventually he also squandered his power (of being) in theĮndeavour to gain control of others. "Sauron was 'greater', effectively, in the Second Age than Have you ever considered how weak Morgoth was when he fought Fingolfin? It was the Free People who needed the One Ring (and its destruction) to win the war.ĥ- Destroyed by his own pride and hubris. He was only afraid that someone like Galadry or Gandy would claim the Ring for themselves and screw him up. He didn't necessarily need the One Ring to win the war. Sauron got many of his Rings back the Seven and the Nine. Sauron is one of the best craftsmen of all time. In any case, in Third Age he claimed he is Morgoth Returned.Ĥ- Sauron is obsessed with jewelry because he was originally a Maia of Aulë the GodSmith. Some argue he used the name Morgoth in Akalabeth merely to fool people into corruption, not necessarily because he was still feeling obliged to Morgoth. he yielded as he must, and vanquished betrayed his master's trust. So his spirit abandoned his body and fled.ģ- Sauron betrayed Morgoth. Staying in his body would've been ridiculous and unnecessary and dangerous. THEN when he was laying motionless and beaten up and trying to regain back health, Isildur cut off his ring finger. He was beat by them, but he killed them in process. But if he had full armor on, then how did he burn GilGalad to death with the touch of his black burning hand?Ģ- Sauron fought the High Kings in a very screwed up situation (he had been killed recently by the God and he still had not fully recovered himself). But, looking at the text alone, Frodo's curse is either just foreshadowing or else a Chekov's gun fired at the story's climax.ġ- we don't know what were Sauron's armor and weapon in the books. If I recall correctly, Tolkien also later claimed that Eru intervened to make Gollum trip into Mt. This is one of those unclear interpretations though. So, the thinking goes, Frodo's curse activates when Gollum takes the Ring the Ring, unable to restrain itself from enacting the malicious curse, punishes Gollum even though doing so destroys the Ring. Frodo also states that, as the Ring's Master, he could even command Gollum to leap into fire and Frodo clarifies that this is exactly the command that will be issued if Gollum tries to take the Ring again. Frodo specifically warns Gollum that the Ring will bind Gollum to his vow. In the books, Frodo makes Gollum swear by the Precious not to touch Frodo. LOTR Memes is a proud member of the MEME LOUNGEĭepends on whether you look at the film or the books, also on how much we want to stretch Frodo's agency in setting a trap.
