Technically it is the Black Speech on the Ring. The Black Speech didn't have a written alphabet though so he had to use the Elvish letters to write the inscription. In any case, awesome job on the impressions as always!

[@Samuel-vw4yv]

Why didn’t Sauron just make an alphabet for it?

[@Pixis1]

@@Samuel-vw4yv He probably didn't want to bother. Most of his minions were likely illiterate. He had a hard enough time getting them to speak the Black Speech. Plus there are lots of languages in our world that use the Latin alphabet rather than inventing their own. I think Tolkien wanted to parallel that and have Elvish Tengwar be the standard alphabet for most Middle-earth languages.

[@ulfjohnsen6203]

Same prinsiple as english using the latin alphabeth.

[@winklenator]

[@theendersmirk5851]

I may be wrong, but I believe you're thinking of Balrogs there. Sauron was a different breed of fallen Maia, uniquely tending towards shape-shifting before Eru Iluvatar got sick of his shit and removed his normal creature body privileges. That armored form is one of the only loopholes, he is allowed to manifest as an edgelord or a hideous creature, just not anything anyone not already in a desperate situation would ever trust.

Well, I mean, this video is more canonical than Amazon's series, so you should really be complaining to them.

[@zerosen1972]

The entirety of Rings of Power is completely inaccurate to the Similarrion - Tolkein 's ACTUAL account of events from the First and Second Age. It's best to treat Amazon's Series as a very expensive Lotr Fanfiction. It's honestly not much more than that.

[@morgomirwd]

To be clear, this is sarcasm/a joke. I fully acknowledge that Rings of Power isnt accurate to anything

[@christiancividino455]

@@zerosen1972 Too bad the prologue as great as it is made mistakes with the LOTR book. Isildur did not defeat Sauron, it was Elendil and Gil-galad. Narsil was broken under Sauron’s lifeless body not stomped on. The Last Alliance was winning handily and had already besieged Barad-dur for seven years. Sauron ran to Mount doom and the Last Alliance pursued him. And lately the ring poem is inaccurate, Galadriel should know that all the rings of power were made by elves for elves except for the One Ring.
