The morning mist clung to the earth just beyond Rivendell, where a merchant sat amidst a tapestry of exotic wares—dragon scales, griffin talons, and rare scrolls. The air was still, save for the soft whinny of a resting horse. Suddenly, the rhythmic clank of heavy, ornate black armor broke the silence. A towering figure approached, his presence radiating malice yet curiosity. It was Sauron, the Dark Lord, his four-fingered hand gripping a mace. He sat opposite the merchant, his hidden eyes fixated on the strange curiosities with intense, predatory interest.
