[Failivrin]

i don't think he would have tried to free morgoth. after all, what all the evil in tolkien craves is power and if he freed him his power would be diminished. and, aren't the valar the only thing evil is scared of? would he really try to free morgoth and risk all of his amassed wealth and power on a scheme that probably wouldn't even work?

i think he would just have tried to gain all the land he could and wreak havoc on the eldar through poisoning the edain like morgoth did. then the men that would not stoop to his low would be hunted dow nand killed off. if he really gained all that power though, surely events would take much the same course as they did in the first age because evil is only capable of seeing one point, one side at a time. possibly...
