Editing Sauron (section)

==He wasn't the original big bad for LoR, oh no==

A hilarious note is the fact he wasn't even the original big bad to begin with. Originally Sauron was known as Mairon (Quenya: ''Admirable'') and was a second tier [[Ainur|Maia]] under Aulë (the Valar of smithing and crafting) and he learned a lot from his old boss. A fundamental part of his mindset was a love of order, perfectionism and a hatred of waste and inefficiency.

Morgoth the first <strike>Dark Lord</strike> Giver of Freedom seduced Mairon into his new lifestyle by offering him unlimited chocolate cake forever and Sauron agreed, quickly becoming his <strike>chef</strike> chief underling. This was [[wat|quite perplexing]] to those who originally knew Mairon, as he was a lover of order and organization where Melkor just liked to fuck shit up. But what actually seduced Mairon into Melkor's service was that Melkor [[/tg/ gets shit done|acted]] where the other Valar basically did jack shit. Despite being Second Banana to Melkor, Sauron was somewhat less evil. Melkor's end game was to destroy the world and recreate it from the ground up, Sauron by contrast lacked his master's omnicidal vision. He was fine with the world, so long as he could rule it and structure it as he saw fit; and he saw being right hand to Melkor as a prime opportunity to do so once he was done fucking up the existing one.

Queue a long string of fucking shit up along with his new boss, until he ran into a girl and her dog (read: an OP elven princess and the hound of the local equivalent of the god of the hunt), and got himself almost killed. Once his boss was beaten up by the other Ainur (Tolkien's versions of archangels in this universe), Sauron fled across the sea to Middle-Earth, where he used his great cunning and sorcery to work events to his favour.
