Part 4/8:
Another mystery revolves around the character of the Mouth of Sauron, a servant of Sauron introduced during the War of the Last Alliance. The lineage of Elendil, who founded Gondor and Arnor, unfolds tragically as both his sons—Isildur and Anarion—died in battle, with Anarion's body never recovered.
There is a theory suggesting that Sauron, as a necromancer, may have resurrected Anarion's body, transforming him into the Mouth of Sauron. This narrative finds roots in Tolkien's description of the Mouth as a member of a long-forgotten race, linking him to the lineage of Elendil. Although this theory is enticing, it lacks strong textual support, particularly given Tolkien’s deliberate focus on the significance and fate of characters like Anarion.
