Due to Tolkien sources, and wery much spread on internet, especially in fanfictions, Sauron used to be Maia of Alue, very much talented, with name Mairon (the admirable)

Yeah they do have a lot that is in the silmarillion because if memory serves me the silmarillion was created using the two but the two do have a little more in them along with notes and another small story that continues throughout the books.

oh well. im sure they'll be interesting to read anyway. i'll look for them

i think i remember reading that much from the Silmarillion as well, but was hoping there was somewhere more info on how/why that went down

I do not remember exactly but I remember that he is a maia and was heavily influenced by Melkor though at first he was a maiar of Aule but he was ensnared by Melkor and became his most faithful servant.

oh, thank you Arbellason

do those include more on how Sauron came to be?

If you want a bit more backstory and history the Book of lost tales 1&2 are the best.

of all the Ainur, Men were most like Melkor, is what it said somewhere

Comment by Coffee Bird on January 22, 2016 at 6:00pm

i'd like to know more about Melkor and Sauron as well. the story does not much go into that, obviously. leaves one to wonder.

that is very interesting that you found that...what story was that you found Melkor in?

Sure, I own hobbit and Simarilion, parents have the lotr books and I've read them all multiple times. Especially elven parts.

I also felt resonance with Melkor, to me it was his name that interested me. (and Sauron as well was calling to me) Especialy, when I found that name in texts of sesible human who never did read the Tolkien's books. I discovered bigger story, Tolkien nad christianity, paganism, Melkor, all suddenly fitted into far bigger image.. weird. I found differend Melkor, powerfull one, who terryfies the gods, when in rage... And with different story.

I'm so sorry Coffee Bird, I had a lag and deleted your post by accident.

"have you read the books? the Silmarillion is the most interesting to me- about Melkor's mind. there is a part where it says something like that he was always wondering what was in the darkness- or why there was darkness....and i felt the resonance."
