DARK LORD, RED EYE, SAURON, SAURON'S LIST

The Dark Lord

In his origin he was a Maia created, as all were, by Ilúvatar. He was corrupted by the proud and evil Melkor (Morgoth), and became his lieutenant in the war which followed, against the Elves and Men.

After the fall of Morgoth at the end of the First Age, Sauron fled to Mordor to build his stronghold, Barad-dûr. With his cunning he seduced the Elves and tricked them into forging the Rings Of Power. Three would go to the Elven Lords, Nine to the Lords of Númenór and Seven to the Dwarves.

He then in secret forged the One Ring, the Ruler of all of the others and in it he put much of his power. The Elven smith, Celebrimbor discovered his plans and the Elves retaliated with war. The Elves hid their Three, but the men of Númenór still wore them. With his power in the One, he transformed the men into the Nazgûl, horrid immortal servants of Sauron.

The Second Age ended with Isildur, son of Elendil, cutting the One ring from His finger, and destroying the body of Sauron. Yet in the Third age, it became apparent that Sauron had taken refuge in the Great Greenwood, causing a dark shadow to fall upon it and it became known as Mirkwood. There his power grew, and it was now that the five Istari arrived from the West.

Sauron has learned that the One Ring still exists. He has learned that a Hobbit called Baggins found it. The Lord of The Rings will reclaim his treasure in any way he can.

Sauron's List

Sauron has a special function in MUME. All notorious player-killers from the good races will be remembered by him.

To check if someone is on Sauron's list, type:

  > tell sauron <name>

While Sauron may comment on those that are not player killers, those that he claims to be his true followers are player killers. Telling him list will provide a list of player killers.
