![]() His interest in forging, his diplomacy skills on Númenor, and his skills on the battlefield all indicate that he’s a cunning and resourceful ruler who might one day forge a master ring. Many viewers are speculating that Halbrand ( Charlie Vickers), the newly returned King of the Southlands, could actually be Sauron in fair form. If Adar truly is just a servant of Sauron, though, there are only a couple of other options for where the Dark Lord could be. Galadriel was right in guessing that the Moriondor don’t act without instructions from their master, and her first instinct about Adar’s story is that it’s a lie. Because of these future events in Middle-earth’s plot concerning Sauron, it's far more likely that Adar never attacked Sauron, but he’s lying to Galadriel about doing so to keep his current location and identity secret. ![]() For instance, the fall of Númenor that has been prophesied by Queen Muriel ( Cynthia Addai-Robinson) has significant connections to Sauron taking a fair form and corrupting the culture of Númenor further than it already is. There are other important events in Tolkien lore, though, that are tied both to this show’s plot and the different forms Sauron has embodied. There’s a small chance that Adar actually did attack Sauron, banishing him from his physical form and causing him to exist only in spirit. Since readers of Tolkien and fans of the movies know already that Sauron can’t be completely destroyed yet, the mystery here is his location if Adar never split him open. This snide remark that she seems just as bad as Sauron is enough to make her question everything she’s ever done, and this would be the most effective manipulation he could use this lie for. This accusation hits her a lot harder because of the conversation she had with her brother at the very beginning of the series, during which they spoke of how confusing it is facing the darkness and how disorienting it can be to tell what is good and what is bad. Another reason he might lie is that he sees Galadriel is emotionally charged to get answers on Sauron’s location and takes the opportunity to manipulate her.Īfter she describes how she plans to destroy all the Uruk, Adar implies that Galadriel is as bad as he is, saying, “It would seem I’m not the only Elf alive who has been transformed by darkness” and then compares her to Morgoth’s successor. Galadriel is obsessively hunting Sauron, so if Adar tells her that Sauron is dead, she may give up her search for him for a time. The first and most obvious reason Adar would lie about defeating Sauron is to protect him while he’s in hiding. The real mystery behind his confession, though, is whether Adar believes he successfully destroyed Sauron or if he is lying - and if he is lying, then what reason does he have to tell this to Galadriel? ![]() I killed Sauron," but viewers know this isn’t possible. In the most recent episode of the series, "Udûn," Adar ( Joseph Mawle) confesses to Galadriel ( Morfydd Clark) under interrogation that he "split him open. The story that is being told in Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power takes place thousands of years before the events of The Lord of the Rings, so audiences know that there are many years to go before Sauron’s true defeat. As Galadriel ( Cate Blanchett) tells us in The Fellowship of The Ring, it was "his will to dominate all life in Middle-earth," and the fact that he nearly succeeds a few times is reason enough to fear him. Tolkien's Sauron is one of the greatest villains of both literature and film. Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Episode 6 of The Rings of Power.
