He is one of the most mysterious characters in both books and movies, he has little dialogue and has a lot of influence. Thank you for your nice explanation
It's been really great seeing your subscriber count steadily growing! We've come a long way from a few dozen viewers watching the Silmarillion read-alongs!
Cowardice on Sauron's part, and stupidity on Eonwe's part. Sauron was hoping for a slap on the wrist and Eonwe was too stupid to grasp that Sauron was hoping for a punishment-free forgiveness. So when Eonwe told Sauron to report to Valinor for judgment by Manwe, Sauron fled in the opposite direction and Eonwe was too lazy to chase him down. Really, Eru's biggest mistake was even allowing the Ainur to enter into Arda. Or at least He ought to have pulled them back out again once they'd finished setting up the world. That ought to have included Melkor and Mairon.
IIRC Sauron wasn't captured then. He alluded them both times Morgoth was indeed captured. Sauron suddenly appeared before Eonwe by choice trying to broker a deal. He didn't even attempt to actually capture Sauron right then which goes to show the Valar and Maiar fallibility and ignorance. When he couldn't get a plea deal he missed his court date and a warrant was issued... Sorta
Had Sauron continued to live in the second age in hiding and not doing evil, there would be no one to punish him for his previous evil deeds. Did ambition or ability to wield power hold him back from such an option? Or did he need a motivating purpose in order to live once he had eternal life? Meanwhile, I do not understand why Eonwe left the matter of trial and pardon to Sauron's discretion; this seems like favoritism, just because they were created in the same nature?
I like the things you say, but I hate the pompous accent you use while you say them. It really turns me off from these videos, videos/streams in which you speak normally are much better.

Sauron is so much more complex a character than people give him credit for.

Just came in from the RoP Livestream. Happy to find you!
Of Beren and Luthien pls pls pls… 😜
I'm working on it! But I won't start releasing Silm videos until I can keep up a reasonable schedule again.
Good things come to those who wait
Gandalf talked about the power of Saruman's voice but clearly Sauron's was much more powerful.
Awesome video, as usual!
Thanks Cecilia! 😊
more Silmarillion videos please !!
Simple answer: Just hear the Blind Guardian "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" Album. Intro Song does the job :')

My name is Dan! You're thinking of that other Englishman on RUclips who likes The Lord of the Rings. 😂
@@VoiceofGeekdom sorry mate you just sounded like him loved the vid anyhow Dan

Rings of Power? Uuuhhhhhh.....better to stay away from this disaster
I agree, maybe one day a good director , something on scale with P. Jackson will film Silmarilion, the story of Sauron
Ah, yes, the terrible fanfiction show that somehow got a huge budget.
very nice
