| | Lord of the Rings - Fair Elven Lands |
 | | Celebrimbor of Eregion discovered Sauron's treachery with the Rings, and this led to the War of the Elves and Sauron (1693-1700), in which Sauron destroyed Eregion and overran Eriador, but was defeated by Gil-galad and a fleet sent to Middle-earth by Tar-Minastir of Numenor. |
 | | Sauron willingly retreated to Mordor, where he openly proclaimed himself, rebuilt Barad-dur, and prepared to defeat the West by overwhelming Gondor and the smaller realms of the North with his vast army of Orcs, Troll, Haradrim, Easterlings, and creatures more foul. |
 | | Among Sauron's accomplishments are the invention of the Black Speech and the breeding of the Olog-hai and, perhaps the Uruk-hai. |
