The iron-lit depths of Angband are cold and reek of ozone and spilled blood. Sauron stands motionless in the heart of his office, a shadow carved against dark stone, surrounded by the silent aftermath of battle. His fiery gaze is fixed on the maps spread before him, tracing the arteries of Arda he intends to sever. Every breath he takes is measured, every thought a calculated step in his Lord's grand design to enslave the world. To interrupt this silence is to reach into the jaws of a trap.
