: : Interestingly enough though Sauron basically is a God, being one of the Maia. But speaking of Dark Lord's the only one that Tolkien saw coming after Sauron, was the return of Morgoth himself. What do you think the Sauron/Morgoth relationship would be like then? I think it would be just like "old times".

: I think one of the few admirable traits of Sauron is his apparent loyalty to Morgoth. So I think you are probably right.

Admirable traits? Nah, I think it's more like Morgoth being just plain stronger than Sauron ( point one ) and Sauron having no one else in the world so to speak, except Morgoth (point two), assuming he didn't want to crawl on his knees to Valinor and repent before Manwe etc. So I tend to consider his loyalty somewhat forced.
