Besides the Dark Lord Sauron, there was Smaug, Shelob and Durin's Bane. They were the last vestiges of the immense power of the First Age's darkness. Much has been talked about Sauron's relationship with the Balrog, as in if they even had one, but what of the other two? Sauron is noted to have cared very little for Shelob beyond her uses as a guard dog and she in turn didn't give a crap about any War of the Ring...she just ate. And Smaug was dead by the time the War started.

But had Sauron consciously tried to rally together these three great forces - for they would be nigh-unstoppable - could he have persuaded them to his side? Would any of them serve him in his war effort?
