: Well, my guess about Gandalf and Sauron is that Gandalf would have been only one of many if he marched in the Host of Valinor during the War of Wrath. Sauron would still have been Morgoth's chief lieutenant. Also, Sauron at the end of the Third Age was (according to Tolkien) more powerful than he had been at the end of the Second Age, when he was still in possession of the One Ring. And Tolkien also noted that Sauron was more powerful than Morgoth was at the end of the First Age. So Sauron was a very powerful being in his own right, but he had apparently succeeded in increasing his own personal power through the One Ring and perhaps also through other means.CHOAK!! Umm! I don't want to seem ignorant or anything, but where does it say this! In of the the HOME books? Or maybe one of his letters? Please tell me cause I just have to read it for myself! It seems unfathomable! Padster
