Did ya'll know that Sauron is just a filthy henchman and serves a higher power?

[1984]

He serves Melkor. The Dark God.

Yeah but nobody really knows that unless they read Silmarillion.

Anyhow, that means that at some point we could have a new enemy that is even cooler than Sauron.

Hopefully, I think it would be awesome to see melkor in game

[Ri0Rdian]

If WB ever touches Silmarillion (or that past times) I am gonna get a gang going and burn that place down, Defeat-a-Fortress style.

Luckly it is not very known compared to LOTR or Hobbit so I think all is good!

Edit:
Melkor is gone for good so the only way to experience him would be something set Faaaar in the past. And not like you would be able to defeat him, no one did (that wasn't a God more or less).

When Melkor was defeated, Sauron came into his own and took up the mantle of Dark Lord.

There are rumors about him eventually returning, but Sauron moves forward only under the memory of his the first Dark Lord, and is essentially the big boss now. Sauron's goal isn't even to bring his former master back - it's just to do exactly what Melkor wanted, which is to bring his own twisted form of 'order' to the world.

Though, if Melkor ever DID return, I'm sure that would change pretty quickly... we would never know until it happened.

Accauly.
I never read the silmarillion and i knew that.
I read it in the comments of some youtube video.

I rather not have melkor.
Sauron got reduce to: get my behind handed to me by a ghost weakling.
Despite being a flipping necromancer.
Any necromancer that made it out of school alive(mortality rate is off the chart) knows how to defend itself against ghost(or they woudnt have survived first year)

Mostly this. Lots of stuff connected if you read the books, interesting info that people that only saw movies will never know. Like that Gandalf (and Saruman and Radagast or any Balrog for that matter) were basically buddies with Sauron sometimes in the past (and are on the same level power/status wise.
Or that elves and dwarves waged a bloody war cause one side was not paid for their work. Or that Elves are not those fairy noble beings as depicted in the movies, they can be, and often were far more sinister and cruel.

What? They mention it in the LotR books, and movies as well I think.

[Krono]

Didn't he used to serve Melkor/Morgoth? But now Sauron is the big baddy in the third age or whatever?

[SadisticNemesis]

Right? Most people know this...plus isn't it mentioned in the first game anyway? lol.

When Gandalf turns around to the balrog he shouts something about him being a servant of morgoth, not sure of the exact wording
