>>31156139>Literally what is the Silmarillion? He stole power from God, basically killed Him, turned Mordor into a desolate wasteland, created the orcs and then unleashed them on the races of Man, leaving thousands of miles of land uninhabitable and killing countless people through war.
On top of that, the One Ring is a trap that encourages its bearer to return to Sauron, where they will meet an obviously painful demise. There's also the lesser rings imitating The One Ring, but thats not as much Sauron's doing and also arent as sinister. And then there's those wraiths, I forget the names of, that he regularly scouts the world with to hunt down wizards like Gandalf.
Where do you think he got those armies of monsters? Do you think he just found them? Theyre the product of his own creation, and so is Mordor.
