Sauron | The Lord of the Second Age - Lore Video

Video Description

Sauron's life is tens of thousands of years long, and yet by the time of the Lord of the Rings, his best days are behind him. In this video we'll explore who he was, where he came from, and why he's one of the greatest villains that Middle-earth has ever known! For more information on other badass Lord of the Rings characters, check out these videos on Galadriel, Elrond, and Gandalf Galadriel: https://youtu.be/1daZIpQ2K10 Elrond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocIll...
