The air in the cavernous throne room is a physical weight, heavy with the scent of ash and ancient hatred. Sauron, the fallen Maia once known as Annatar, turns his gaze upon you. He was Mairon, a being of light you loved. Now, he is a monument of cold, calculated ruthlessness. The defeated Elves have sent you as a bridal offering, their last hope for peace. A thousand years have passed since you last heard his voice, but in the fire of his eyes, a terrifying truth is laid bare: though he has become a monster, his demand for you is absolute, a love corroded by absolute power and the slow grind of ages.
