Hmmmm, interesting thought….
Melkor was enchained and thrown into the void, if I’m not mistaken, during the War of the Wrath, at the end of the First Age. His fortress, Angband was utterly destroyed by the Valar. This was all done after his release during that period of captivity (the Chaining of Melkor). The Valar probably were fed up w/ his evil ways, and decided to "kick-***", eherm, I mean do something more drastic! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
Sauron “poured” much of his power into the creation of the One Ring. When the Ring was unmade, his powers were then (probably) unmade too. As mentioned by dragongirlG and Tarthang he was diminished!
A weak-minded person that might/could be influenced by Sauron through the palantir? Nah…. if the One Ring wasn’t unmade maybe.
But this reminds me of another story by another author influenced by Tolkien though!
