The reason Sauron wanted to conquer Middle Earth... my theory...

[Iarhen]

I have been meditating on what might have been the reason Sauron wanted to conquer and rule Middle Earth.

And I have concluded the following. Since Sauron was not only seduced by Melkor, but also he was dominated by him. The same way in which Sauron dominated his slaves and servants, thats the way Melkor dominated Sauron.

So, after Melkor was casted into the Void, Sauron remained here for a reason. He wanted to conquer the world. But, why?? Just because the idea that Morgoth introduced in his mind was driving him to that goal? I think that its not just that.

We all know that Morgoth will be able to come back to Middle Earth when the end of the world approaches. We all know that if Sauron conquered M.E., he would have killed most of the people in it (elf, man, dwarf or hobbit). And if Sauron did not killed them, at least he would enslave them...

Eitherway, the world as we know it, the world created by Eru and guarded by the Valar, WOULD HAVE COME TO ITS END. There are a lot of ways in which M.E. could end, not only its utter and complete destruction.

If Sauron gained complete control over M.E., all people and all living things in M.E. would have been subdued to the Dark Lord. And in their enslavery, Sauron would slowly get control over all beings on M.E.

Then, Sauron would be the only living thing in M.E. with a will of his own. Free will, and other things, would be completely lost.

And then, the world as Eru made would have come to its bitter end. No more world, only Sauron's realm.

SO, Morgoth would be able to come back to M.E. So, my wild guess here is that, behind Sauron's will and decision to rule M.E. was Morgoth and his ideas...

And Im not saying that Morgoth did it directly. It would be one of his damages that could endure his parting, such as the strained relationship between elves and men.

If elves such as Galadriel and Elrond were able to see the future, the Most Powerful Valar would have been able to do so as well.

So, if Morgoth foresaw that he would be casted out into the Void, then he would have prepared the whole War of the Ring history, so that he, Morgoth, would be able to come back to a world where his servant, Sauron, ruled. And then, Morgoth would be able to rule over all Middle Earth...

For what purpose? I cant imagine. Probably launching an attack against Valinor, using Morgoth's and Sauron's power, and Morgoth's knowledge of the Void...

What do you think?
