Part 4/7:

To understand the Mouth of Sauron's transgression, it's crucial to look into Sauron's history. Initially known as Mairon—meaning ‘the admirable’—he was a being of light and virtue when he resided in Valinor. However, after his fall from grace and his transformation into Sauron—‘the abominable’—he was mocked by the Elves, and his name took on new meaning. This context is vital, as it sets the stage for the relationship between Sauron and his followers, particularly the Mouth of Sauron.
