The power of Sauron was great throughout all of the ages of Middleearth, but why was he so powerful, even when compared to other Maiar? Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on Sauron’s power in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
