Sauron, devoted servant of Melkor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Would the Valar really attack Sauron, as they had with Morgoth? I don't think so. Why? They'd risk sinking the entire North-west of Middle-earth! They know their powers, and it's not suited for such a place. Violent upheavals of the tectonic plates - jk - have resulted from the battles fought by the Ainur on Middle-earth.

Sauron knows all this, or at least he'd seen enough evidence to dispel any notions of an attack from Valinor. So he's probably use Morgoth as symbol for men under his own dominion, if fear of him is not enough to sway their convictions that evil is...well...good. That's probably all the purpose Sauron had for Morgoth.
