What Happened to Sauron After the Ring Was Destroyed? LOTR Lore
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- Have you ever wondered what fate befell Sauron's spirit once the ring was destroyed?
Sauron was no mere mortal; his essence was blessed with an immortality that could never be fully eliminated. Yet, he poured the very essence of his being, into the One Ring, which would ultimately spell his doom.
But what of the fragments of Sauron’s spirit, the remnants of his power? Does the spirit of Sauron linger, a shadowy wraith, lying in wait until the forces of darkness rise once more? Or has the Dark Lord's era truly concluded, banished to oblivion for all eternity?

5 years from now in cinema: "Somehow.. Sauron returned"
I Dare u.
Hell no. BTW Disney trilogy is not canon no matter how hard they try.
😂😂😂👌🏼. You forgot to add. As a boss bitch💪🏼
@@HelloMyFriend_Agreed 👍🏼
Do not tempt fate
Morgoth (chopped up and drifting in the Endless Void): "Okay, okay, don't panic, Morgy, Sauron knows the plan, we talked about it, he's gonna do the ring thing, he's gonna take over, he's gonna fish me out of this place-"
Sauron (bodiless) " Hey."
Morgoth: ".....fuuuccckkkkkkkkk...."
I had a good chuckle
Morgy had me dying
@@kaievoke I would of imagined that Morgoth would of been like Gordon Ramsay "You Fucking Donkey why would you put so much of your essence into a ring for it to be destroyed by a hobbit and a foul looking creature with Multiple personalities!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He would also say “If I had my hands and legs, I’d beat your ass into a pulp.”
He drifted off into the East, and now does cold calls selling solar panels
I saw him working at Starbucks. Can’t knock a guy for just trying to move forward
@@joelsullivan1248 that might have been one of the Nazgûl. Many of them work in retail as well. Very bitchy.
I thought it was extended car warranty calls 🤷
Sauron would be happy with the way things are going today.
😅
Well duh. Who do you think started the Ukraine war? /s
😂😂😂😂
We don't have Sauron... We have Soros. Both are evil and just won't die!
That is a horrifying thought, though yeah, he probably would be
I forgot for a second that Sauron is a fictional character and felt his dark presence. Excellent storytelling!
hug him
Those artworks, the constant deep dark ambient melody in the background,
the narration puts you into the story as if you are a part of it.
Massive.
Well done.
I couldn’t imagine a worse fate than being a shrivelled husk, forced to watch the world pass you by, forever.
Allow me to introduce you to something called an Old Folks home.
Imagine being in an old folks home, but it lasts forever 👻
Morgoth do this to Hurin. With his power he seated Hurin in stone throne, and show him how his children and his dynasty fall by his manipulation and after that he let him go. Thats how fall of gondolin start
Joe Biden
How are you any different?
Tolkien wrote he was maimed and became a “spirit of malice” that would gnaw at itself in the dark, but never again could he recover or take shape.
stuck in the retconium with horus lupercal and malal lol
He got beat so bad, he became a cosmic fart
My own head cannon has always been that Sauron lost the ability to manifest himself in any physical way.
He exists in Middle Earth, barely coherent, nearly insensate, lingering forever in quasi unconsciousness.
Thats what Tolkien said.
He is hanging out with his old master Melkor, testing each other with riddles, to see who gets to go hunt for the ‘Imperishable Flame 🔥’ of Illuvatar
A good ending for Sauron would be to lose his malice and his will to dominate all life, as he poured that into the ring and it would be destroyed together with the ring. This would make Sauron probably still vengeful for some time, but he would find himself unable to focus on his old character traits and would have to get used to the existence without them.
He essentially was just there. No directed thought or malice. Until dagor dagorath
I had never thought of it like that 👍
@pavelslama5543 His malice IS him! His personality, if changed, would be as if he developed amnesia, he would not be himself anymore. It is identical to Satan not being satanic! He would not be him anymore. They are who they are because they HAVE to be who they are. It is the degree of your ego that will or will not allow you to change, and their ego would most definitely NEVER allow that, with or without power. IMHO.
He would pledge his life to find the Entwives
@@FirstLast_NbaExcellent post and very accurate.
Poor Sauron. He was a good boy. He just got with the wrong crowd. He was misunderstood.
Im pretty sure big S's mom said that.
If disney ever took the IP this is the way they would tell the story
Free my boi he didn't do nothin'!
Sauron existing today would explain a lot.
Sauron and his master Melkor are merely misunderstood
@@MycketTuffevery JoeBin supporter lol
@@MycketTuff Yeah, you sound like an average Griffith enjoyer.
It does actually
@@antonk.653FrFr
Melkor and Sauron sitting there in a dark void... waiting. What could ever possibly go wrong? 😅
That's how we get the Dagor Dagorath.
I always imagined a far future middle earth with high science and old tales of elves and dwarves. Then scientists find something in a volcanic region of the state of Gondor....
@@darkhighwayman1757 "Let him cook." ;)
@@darkhighwayman1757
A Palantir perhaps?🤔
Some goth kid with a ouija board.... let's summon Sauron! haha
Off to the void with you. Void being the cold nothingness of space. No stars or anything else, just cold, dark, lifeless void.
The void is the absence of God, where the lake of fire/hell will be cast.
@@markg.7865 The void is just that. A void. Where nothing exist. Lake of fire and or hell would make the void no longer a void.
We don't even know what a void would look like. Even black is something but not a void
I love that this feels like a documentary made in universe.
Hold on a second. This makes me wonder... Sauron's ring is not so much a ring of power but a ring of defeat mitigation.
In RPG terms, imagine a game in which everytime you die your stats are reset to 1 when you respawn and you have to grind again or wait and slowly recover the stats back through resting.
So then, in order to mitigate this you forge a ring and you transfer 60% of all your stats when you're the most powerful you've been. That means when you die again you will reset back to 1 but put the ring back on and you get all those stats you had stored in the ring previously. Allowing to bypass a lot of penalty from defeat
Imo it’s more like the journal in project zomboid where, like your description, when you read it you immediately get skill exp boosts and they also return to the same level during your peak.
But once it’s gone you’re forever spectating the other players on the server as a ghost that can send an incoherent message once a day to the chat that will be ignored because it’s rolling by so fast.
This video immediately enthralled me just wow this channel never fails to impress, all the love and admiration of the Valar
Imagine Sauron came back today, and the Orcs have access to modern military equipment and an air force.
Sounds like Russia.
erik prince
He's back and he invaded Ukraine. He's getting his ass kicked. Once again. 😁
@@HowlinWilf13 No, try dick Cheney or rumsfeld. there was a cartoon about the four horseman of the apocalypse. the other two were gw bush and wolfowitz
@@z1az285 No, the only one trying to steal another country's sovereign territory is Sauron putin.
The artwork in this one is fantastic. These just keep getting better and better!
Sauron being a malignant spectre gnawing at itself without the best part of himself from the beginning from which all his strength came must be such a curse indeed... Forever as time went on... All his memory gets older and older and that time that he once was the dark lord is gone. To have lost the war for middle earth must impress upon him forever like a doom worse than death.
Sauron is waiting for Half-Live 3 to have an excuse to return.
A surprisingly good video. I expected the usual "he lost his ability to interact with and affect the world", but this was a very indepth and thoughtful analysis
Man.. you've put this whole franchise into a beautiful perspective for me. Because at the end of the trilogy, the only thing I wondered was: "what happened to Sauron after all this?"
The Numenorian Soliers who followed their King into the undying lands, but werent actually evil but just following orders, entrapped in earth for eternity until the last day:
"Man this blows. ..."
I commend you for not only your reading of the texts in the HoME series, but more importantly your solid COMPRESSION of them. Well done indeed. This video is what is getting me to subscribe. If it's quality is representative of all your content, I'm only sad I didn't find the channel sooner. ❤
Sauron lives on as a powerless evil fart cloud. Yet though he strives mighty to dealt it no one in Middle Earth ever again smelt it.
Mainly because Tolkien never wrote Return of the Shadow.
is it an odorless fart cloud?
If a fart cloud exists where no one can smell it, does it have a scent?
@@Ryan-gw3yv does a balrog sh!t in the woods?
The co-author of the fandom's longest fiction-in-progress applauds you for this extremely well-presented exposition! While our own creation has taken a different tack with Mairon/Sauron in order to explore different eschatological themes, it's wonderful to find a video containing such thorough research that also differentiates the critical elements of publications personally approved by the Professor vs. not, and (standing ovation here) sifts the prejudices/reliability of in-story narrators (the Elves, or even words about Sauron voiced by Gandalf while in his role as an Istar vs. what he might understand when possessed of his faculties while serving as Olórin). Bravo!
11/10 LOTR lore vid. Thanks for this, it makes the story so much richer
Great channel! I also like the new narration voice
In other words, a Hungry Ghost, wandering in the Bardo.
Love this channel 🖤
Actually when men die, their fëar first go to the Halls of Mandos for a short time and then go to a place set aside by Eru as a "Gift."
The only reason for a constant supply of souls of insanely simple and stupid beings is food. Eru intervened because Melky and S boy were screwing up the harvest
From what I hear, he's been hanging around, spending most of his time in the pub at the bar, and getting drunk... And reminiscing about the good old days!! He is making an absolute pain on himself! Yet it must be hard being a former dictator, now exiled, knowing that everyone hates you.... Meanwhile he's plotting his revenge!!!
Hes not capable of plotting
Locked up in the basement of The Winchester
That might be Saruman. I thought that Sauron was working behind the scenes while the eight remaining wraiths had possessed the top mandarins of each and every leader of the eight most powerful nations. 😂🤔
Im imagining a LOTR inspired Cheers where Sauron is Norm.
The One Ring was the original Horcrux...
Voldemort is a Lich in the end...
@takeiteasy2232 both sauron and voldemort had a similar fate in the end
Excellent video! Only one small remark: at the end of the Third Age, what "killed" Sauron (i.e irretrievably damaged his body ) was not the destruction of the One Ring, it was instead the collapse of Barad-Dur that immediately followed.
came across ur channel about a month ago, watched all ur vids and GET SO FRICKIN HYPE WHENEVER U DROP ANOTHER 1 LETS GO BABY WOOOOOOOO!!!
Thank you for this one! keep up the amazing work!
That was absolutely a joy to watch. So full from both book ends of imagination and written lore. Illustrations and tone bringing it in as a warm scary cup of smoking delicious Elvin tea.
Presentation, narration and visual images are excellent - had me engrossed throughout. :)
Amazing work
dude, those images from the Silmarillion at the beginning of the video were amazing, excellent find/make
I like to imagine sauron managing a dmv somewhere on the east coast these days.
very nice video. love the sound effects & music in particular
Great video. Thanks for posting
This is unbelievably good! My favorite villain of all time. Thank you!
He is at a retirement community in Florida called the villages. He's having fun and meeting new and exciting people.
that was really good, thank you, very glad i subbed recently
This type of content is why I'm subscribed. Thank you for this.
Excellent research on this one. You went deep.
A great understanding and background history of the Sauron and the Lord of the rings thank you for your brilliant analysis
This is a masterpiece good sir. I can not express how I've fascinated by this work of art. Hats off
Narrator voice is perfect ❤
Focusing me. Sharping my mind and thoughts❤
I really appreciate the time you put into this.
sauron was probably thrown into a remote part of the galaxy.
This was a masterful documentary, as good as any produced for broadcast television. It was wonderful and spellbinding - thank you 🥰
Absolutely astonishing video ! Thanks a lot!
Great analysis, thank you! 🙌🏻
I like more the previous voice, but this was fine as well.
Great video - it also brings to mind the demise of Saruman (a fellow Maiar), …”about the body of Saruman a grey mist gathered, and rising slowly to a great height like smoke from fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the hill. For a moment it wavered, looking to the West; but out of the west came a cold wind, and it bent away, and with a sigh dissolved into nothing.”
Was "King of Kings" vainglorious though? Was it really? Or was it all part of the plan to allow Sauron to get close to Ar-Pharazôn so he could poison him against the Valar? Seems much more likely to be the latter to me.
You are correct
"King of Men" and "Lord of the World" are two other titles Sauron gave to himself. I think he was "vainglorious" with the titles because he did not really know how powerful the Numenorians were until they came knocking on his door at Barad-dür.
well spotted. Sauron doesn't want to be 'seen' as king of kings, he just wants to be the king of kings; it was psy ops to provoke ar phaeazon to war and then beguile him with skill and bribe him with esoteric power that would help him against the elves he had a cultural rivalry with. Sauron spends lives for his own advancement so the armies were an easy waste, because he can always rely on the vast hordes of orcs he has under his disposal to enforce his will.
Why dont read the books 🙄
Where did this channel come from? It’s amazing; respectful of the source material, informative and sophisticated and the narrators voice is just *chefs kiss*
Best LOTR video ever! Thank you.
So well done
I love to watch these before sleep
Really great work!
This channels needs to be a podcast format too!! Its great!!!!
I really love your channel. Thank you for your work.
You my friend, are one of the best narrator's I have ever heard. I coud listen to anything being narrated with your voice.
Great job as always! The narrator has a wonderful voice.
Ahh, the story of how SAURON became SAUROFF
😂😂😂
This was outstanding! Bravo, Sir.
Thanks for the support it's much appreciated! Today happens to be my birthday (not my 111th thankfully) so it's the ideal day to receive a gift! 🎁😁
@@RealmsUnravelled Cheers.
I’ll save you 30 minutes. He’s floating in the void playing solitaire until end of time.
No. Just until the Dagor Dagorath. Then he can reunite with his master Morgoth and fight against the Ainur, Elves and Edain.
@@EnerdhilIs that before or after the rise of the Empire and destruction of the Death Star......😊
@@markg.7865
Yes.😜
Sauron will always be around. He’s immortal. He’s part of Alluvitar’s plan.
Fantastic story telling and summary of Sauron. I feel like i just lived his life
I bet Gandalf missed the Leaf of the Halflings when he returned to Valinor, but then again, perhaps Frodo brought some seeds with him 😂

Really makes you wonder why they would ever want to leave the spirit state when it seems like such a chill state of existence.
Excellent video. Subscribed and liked.
Fan canon theory: Sauron is the same character as "The Beast" in the movie "Poltergeist."
"He knows what frightens you. He has from the beginning..."
Brilliant video!
That was scary! 😰Well made! Awesome!😮
The thing is, Melkor and Sauron could return. That was what Sauron was trying to do on Numenor after all - open the gates of night
2:56 “Flickering endlessly, never to truly be extinguished.”
These are really, really spectacular. I hope you cover every single topic forwards and backwards
It covers most of the important things you need to know in order to answer the question in the title.
@@Enerdhil what?
@@cmoneill
I assumed you had just started watching the video and wanted to reassure you that "every single topic forwards and backwards" was covered.
@@Enerdhil ah, thank you. No, I meant that I wish for him to continue covering all of the topics related to middle earth in future videos
I’ve always felt like death isn’t a punishment if anything it can be a way to escape consequences. I like the idea that evil dies in every way that matters but is still alive enough to know it.
So Sauron became Disney...
It's worth noting that there's a Battle of Armageddon analogue that's prophesied in the Silmarillion. In "Dagor Dagorath" Morgoth is able to escape from the Void and wreaks havoc before making one last stand against the Valar. It's unclear whether Sauron is able to rejoin his old master for this final battle, but it certainly can't be ruled out.
GREAT VIDEO
He’s now Sauroff
Sauron's only phylactery is also out in the open for a hobbit to throw it into mount doom.
I think it's been mentioned before, but why did the movie take out the most important part of the story? And that's what happened AFTER the ring was destroyed and all the hobbits rising up and now having the courage to fight against the evil that entered their home?
Cause casuals don't give a fuck about Hobbits.
Not seeing Tom Bombadil is still a big let down but it is what it is
@@dynjarren5454 Bombadil had no real plot expansion and would have changed the tone of the films. Having said that it would have been interesting to see what Jackson would have done if he kept him in. But yeah not really needed.
@@OOL-UV2 I'm sure he did, But that is the excuse THEY all use!
Because the real hero of any story is not the one who does everything by himself - Hollywood Cape Crap - but it is the man who inspires and gives courage to all other men to rise up and fight against the Evil of oppression.
And that can never be allowed in Hollywood.
@@OOL-UV2 I'm sure he did! But that is the excuse (They) all use.
Because the real hero in any story is not the man does everything by himself - Hollywood Cape C**p - but the man who inspires and gives courage to the rest of men to rise up and together fight the Evil of oppression.
Hollywood will NEVER allow THAT message to EVER happen.
That's why the most important part of the story was ripped out, and instead we got the most pathetic and *** ending ever.
“Where is Sauron now” has a real “what happened to The Parking Lot Karen” vibe.
He was reincarnated into our reality as a guy who tends the shoe rental counter at a bowling alley. Probably one in Toledo.
Might be the best Tolkien video I’ve seen! ❤
Great video, I appreciate your work. Just a note - I don't know how it's said correctly, but every time you put emphasis on "va" saying IluVAtar, I lose focus for a while :D Previously I encountered only ILUvatar way of emphasis if you know what I mean O:)
yeah, they put the "em FASS is" on the wrong "suh LAB el"
There’s one way to defeat Melkor with a single utterance. Speak this secret word and he shall be utterly defeated: *_Smellkor_*
very well done. Thank you.
I'm SO GAME for this rn. Great opening
He is waiting on Peter Jackson to make LOTR 4
I wonder if he has an agent? I’m currently looking for new clients. Have him call me!
MoreGoth than the Brutus style patricizing form of a civilization that led the mood to get rather SourOn onwards from....you know ;) thx for the vid btw.
Outstanding presentation. Thank you.....
