Considering over 3,000 years passed, i find it probable that once Morgoth returned, he had a entirely built up army of 8-10 million orcs ready for war, a fully repaired Angband, he was ready for war.
So essentially, Morgoth really owes it to Sauron.
“When Thangorodrim was broken and Morgoth overthrown, Sauron put on his fair hue again and did obeisance to Eönwë, the herald of Manwë, and abjured all his evil deeds. And some hold that this was not at first falsely done, but that Sauron in truth repented, if only out of fear, being dismayed by the fall of Morgoth and the great wrath of the Lords of the West.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
Does this imply that Sauron didn’t look fair before while serving Morgoth?
I’m aware he definitely had a beautiful form while serving the Valar
What we have in the Silmarillion etc. are traditions given anyhow a Mannish form, handed down by Men in Númenor and later in Middle-earth, though derived from Elves... It must be remembered that these poems and stories are not 'scientific', nor even strictly historical."
Morgoth's Ring, Volume X of The History of Middle-earth
"The book is not written from the point of view of 'omniscience' (the author), but of characters who are inside the story and can only know what they have seen or heard, or what has been reported to them..."
Letter 325
*“*Sauron had never reached this stage of nihilistic madness [as Morgoth]. He did not object to the existence of the world, so long as he could do what he liked with it. He still had the relics of positive purposes, that descended from the good of the nature in which he began: it had been his virtue (and therefore also the cause of his fall, and of his relapse) that he loved order and co-ordination, and disliked all confusion and wasteful friction.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien, The History of Middle-earth, Vol. 10, Morgoth's Ring
I found this interesting, he was quite different than Melkor and was perhaps a “hero of his own story”.
Many say he switched to manish form but i also find if likely he just kept his annatar form. I feel like constantly changing his form would just cause people to forget what he looked like
seemed relatively new though.
Normally the snow melts, it’s practically like antarctica lol. Even in Wyoming only the tops of mountains have snow on them during the summer months.
These gauntlets are awesome, and it looks like he also has a new sword to slice and dice with.
But just imagine how He and Bloof will fly through the air!
My addiction is even worse than before, I made a post a couple of weeks ago about my playtime, see profile for that.
Now my playtime is at an all time high on Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, I play with mods too.
I have 103.1 hours in the last two weeks, and a total of 209.3 hours on the game.
I have had the game since July 3rd of 2026.
Not only is he still wearing the same outfit from 1895 in 1899, he is probably wearing it in 1907 too underneath his coat. this dude just larps being a fancy gentlemen and it’s hilarious
the only type of armor tolkien mention is scale and mail, i found this to be too chunky and just comical too, maybe it’s just me.
Is it black or brown? hard to tell
I honestly think he’ll try and grow a little of a beard and remove his elf ears. Since he would be dealing with the pharazon
Also, Dutch’s bounty was fucking huge, around $10,000, probably a lot more by the time of 1911. And the conflict he caused with the army and indians and killing all those people, somehow completely vanished, John went to Canada for a good while.
Any thoughts on how dutch even did this? A fancy fella riding an albino arabian is very recognizable.
Does this look like a beard ? Can’t tell. Similar face to annatar
Apparently i’ve been playing 122.2 hours on RDR2 in the last two weeks. Any solutions to try and quit?
