The Second Age of Middle-Earth: War of the Elves and Sauron

The War of the Elves and Sauron was a great conflict that had major consequences for the rest of the Second Age. Desiring to govern the Elven Lords, the Dark Lord Sauron secretly took a fair shape and presented himself as Annatar, the Lord of Gifts. Under Annatar’s guidance, the Rings of Power were created, but Sauron had in secret a master plan, and he forged the One Ring in order to dominate the wearers of the lesser rings. But the Elven Lords saw through Annatar’s disguise, and the War of the Elves and Sauron broke out. Will Celebrimbor and the master-smiths of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain prevail, or will Sauron conquer the Elves and the rest of Middle-Earth?

"The victory was heroic, but the losses were many!" In Total War Terms, it would be viewed as a Pyrrhic victory.

[@LoreOfTheRingsYT]

Well spoken. Should have corrected that, but oh well.

[@mysticnovelbro]

@@LoreOfTheRingsYT It may be, or not.... I do still find myself asking what I haven't bothered to before... Do you reckon they could have fought again and won, after de-ringing Sauron?

[@BlackeyeVuk]

Mmmm, our lad King Pyrrhus of Epirus would be confused 'bout that Total War term. But I get the thrivia. Altho wrong.

[@LordVader1094]

Or, in older Total War terms, a "Costly Victory"

[@abraham2172]

Shouldnt the losses be so high that the next war would be utterly hopeless to be considered a phyrric victory? Because that wasnt the case here when I remember the book correctly. The elves were still powerful, even more so the Numenorians.

[@kevinfromvirginia1796]

@Lore of the Rings perfect summary. 7:23 this is extremely important, and often underappreciated. Sauron's hatred for Khazad-Dûm had horrible consequences that nearly destroyed the Dwarves in the 3rd Age. Not to mention Durin's Bane, the Balrog, which became the Dwarrowdelf's fate.

[@LoreOfTheRingsYT]

True! Very good point! Very little is this mentioned.

[@aleksander8497]

What effect did Sauron have over the dwarves of Khazad-Dûm? The Balrog was not under Sauron's command. Were the orcs/goblins of Khazad-Dûm Sauron's or independent? The War of the Dwarves and Orcs has no mention of Sauron being involved.

[@kevinfromvirginia1796]

@@aleksander8497 I didn't say the Balrog was under the command of Sauron. Once it was unearthed, Moria was overrun by the Orcs, twice mind you, for no other reason than Sauron's hatred. Remember, Sauron was also the Necromancer at the Hill of Sorcery, in the Third Age. I hope that clarifies my earlier point.
