Who Really Killed Sauron in the Battle of the Last Alliance? - Page 2

It kind of seems like Isildur just went in there and finished Sauron off after he had already been mortally wounded by Gil-Galad and Elendil.

It's like in The Two Towers movie, extended edition, when Gimli finished off the last Uruk Hai but Legolas saw him twitching so he shot an arrow at him to kill him again.

So, why didn't Sauron flee with them? Why was he alone(?) away from his nazgul, at Orodruin?

For reasons that Sauron didn't flee with the rest, I'm not sure. He might have been reminded of his problem in the First Age when he didn't exactly show up to help defend his own master. Maybe he was ashamed of himself and wanted to prove something. Not sure.

That's what I think as well.

How noble...

Even bad guys like Sauron can be courageous. There's no evil without good, or good without evil afterall. Sauron's courage is what brought him down.

But who knows what he was thinking. We'd have to be able to psychoanalyze a madman.

Sauron a madman?

Or mad Maia. That's probably more like it.

Him and Saruman have a very close relationship though. They're servants of the same master... well they were at one time. Quite a thing that is, they both turned out to be not so great. It's interesting to note that Aule the Smith had many servants who turned to evil.

Aule the Smith's ethereal workshop: Smithy of the Gods.... or Dark Lord training camp???

Yea, Aule the Smith is Middle Earth's answer to Obi-wan Kenobi. Everyone he trains seem to turn out so pleasantly EVIL! EVIL!!!
