: how was it that the Elves of the Second Age werent able to : guess who Annatar really was?, Didn't they have a list of all : the exiled Noldorin high lords and princes? Or a list of Elves : with great power? I know that Sauron at that time still had the : power to assume a fair form, but still the Elves should have : cross-checked his background...why was it that only Gil-galad : and Elrond thought suspicious of Annatar?Good questions. The only answers I know of are whatever people can imagine in reply. Tolkien doesn't seem to have addressed the issue.
