Description

_{Also known as "Gorthaur the Abhorred". The Sindarin Elves are kinda blunt about the calling things as they see them naming technique.

"Sauron's role in the War of Wrath is not known. After the war, Sauron feared the wrath of the Valar and he came forth in a fair form and renounced his evil deeds to Eonwe, the herald of the Vala Manwe. Eonwe told Sauron that he must go to the Undying Lands to be judged by Manwe. But Sauron was ashamed and humiliated and he wanted to escape punishment, so he fled and continued his evil ways. "

Alas. My nerd-dome has come full circle. I have been commanded to make a "bad boys/badasses of Middle Earth" triptych, therefore here is part one. I know I have enough frustration to fuel two more of these.

Sauron was once one of the Maiar...just as Gandalf was. He can shape change! And enjoyed his fair form most before he lost his body. Ambition sometimes does terrible things to people.

About the image: I found a brilliant but kinda blurry stock pic that said exactly what I wanted it to say. So, to prove to myself that the image could be used, I decided to paint it into something I liked. And oddly, I like it. That never happens with me. I may go back and alter the ring a bit and play with the fingers again later. We'll see how saucy I'm feeling in the morning.

My huge thanks to:

Anyone know of a good Feanor stock model? I has a Melkor already. He just doesn't know it yet. _{_{You didn't read that *jademacalla}}}
