You answers can be found in The Silmarillion. Some who love LotR find The Sil to be difficult because they expect it to be the same. It is different. There are no Hobbits to mediate the grandiose for you, so expect it to be all grand and wonderful and distant, and you'll love it. I highly recommend it.

And I won't tell you anything about Sauron - read it for yourself. You'll like it better that way.
