Witch King of Angmar has just left Hobbiton.
Sting Morgoth v. Sauron

Who do you think was stronger: Morgoth or Sauron?

I think Morgoth was much stronger than Sauron, even when Sauron has his precious ring. For Morgoth, or rather Melkor, was one of the Ainur, the Holy Ones, the offspring of his thought.

Melkor has incredible power yet some think that with his ring Sauron was stronger than Melkor. Melkor was a god practically.

Quote:
The mightiest of the Ainur who came into the World was in his beginning Melkor...
--The Silmarillion

Sauron was merely the lieutenant of Melkor who ran Melkor's fortress Angband. Sauron learned a great wealth of knowledge from Melkor. Melkor created the entire race of Orcs -- a mockery of elves -- to do his bidding.
