In Lord of the Rings, Gandalf says that Sauron needs only the one ring to cover all the lands in a second darkness! When was the first darkness? Was it the dark years? I dont really undertstand because I thought Sauron was defeated before he conqured all the lands! When were the dark years and how long did they last?
