fandom family edits ♥ mairon ( @cerulean-shark )
sauron was become now a sorcerer of dreadful power, master of shadows and of phantoms, foul in wisdom, cruel in strength, misshaping what he touched, twisting what he ruled, lord of werewolves; his dominion was torment.
1.2k celebration – mairon for @cerulean-shark ❤ (get your own!)
At the beginning of the Second Age Sauron was still beautiful to look at, or could still assume a beautiful visible shape – and was not indeed wholly evil, not unless all reformers who want to hurry up with reconstruction and reorganization are wholly evil, even before pride and the lust to exert their will eat them up.

But Sauron was not of mortal flesh, and though he was robbed now of that shape in which had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of Men, yet his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to Middle-earth and to Mordor that was his home. There he took up again his great Ring in Barad-dur, and dwelt there, dark and silent, until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure.

↳ There was an altar of fire in the midst of the temple, and in the topmost of the dome there was a louver, whence there issued a great smoke. And the first fire upon the altar Sauron kindled with the hewn wood of Nimloth, and it crackled and was consumed; but men marvelled at the reek that went up from it, so that the land lay under a cloud for seven days, until slowly it passed into the west.
Sort of continuing that Akallabeth thing.

(yea I secretly changed the pics… again)
HC that Mairon reanimates some of his fallen soldiers and that’s how he has so many troops. If their corpse is salvagable, he’ll just keep bringing them back. He probably cobbles together the intact bits of unsalvageable corpses to make Frankenstein’s monster-esque creations.
This is giving me Thoughts. You know how in the Silm when Aule made the dwarves, he was able to move them around like dolls but not give them true life and free will?
Mairon can do that, and he does it on a massive scale. It works as a scare tactic, too; sometimes he’ll even puppeteer the remains of fallen elves. When the hosts of the Noldor go to fight against Angband’s might, they’re forced to fight against their fallen comrades. Eventually, they learn to start burning corpses.
oh no what if this happens with fingon and mae in the nirnaeth and mae sees fingon off in the distance but it’s not fingon fingon’s dead he knows fingon’s dead and mae can’t stand to see the horrible violation of his body in that way and he’s forced to do the unthinkable and face it in battle
