SSP: Biography of Sauron for SWG folk

As I've mentioned, this month I was invited to write the biography for the Silmarillion Writers Guild. That bio is now available here:

Marta's SWG Biography of Sauron

In honor of the Akallabeth in August theme I chose to look at Sauron's backstory. Most people know him as the arch-villain of The Lord of the Rings, and he is of course that character, but he also has a really interesting backstory in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. So I looked at what some of those stories tell us about him. Thanks to Dawn Felagund for the help copy-editing this.

For the interested, here are some of my other stories dealing with Sauron and Sauron's affects on others:

  1. "Ea" - ft. Sauron + Celebrimbor, Second Age Eregion
  2. "Fire and Smoke - ft. OC Numenoreans, last days of Numenor
  3. "The Gift of Men" - Tar-Miriel's POV, last days of Numenor
  4. "King's Men" - OC Easterling, Second Age
  5. "Respite" - Khamul's POV, late third age
