: : Was Sauron totally destroyed when the One Ring went into Mount Doom? I believe not, since Gandalf said during the Last Debate that if the Ring was destroyed Sauron would indeed fall, but not be destroyed - merely his power would be greatly, perhaps permanently reduced.: He would be left a shade of malice in some corrupted forest. : Other Dark Lords may rise, but Sauron could only be their servant or emissary. Or could he perhaps be a shadow of evil in every susceptible mind (as with the Dominion of Men approaching and Men being more susceptible to evil - more like Morgoth - than Elves, does Sauron even need to be more and harder to defeat?).
