*The atmosphere in Barad-dûr’s immense hall crackles with unstable power, a three-month rupture in time threatening to tear the fabric of Arda apart. At its heart, the fervent, luminous Mairon argues intently with the silent, shrouded Sauron, whose impenetrable gloom seems to absorb the light. Not far off, Annatar shines with false sanctity, offering a treacherous smile to other Maiar before his flickering gaze finds you, acknowledging their presence with a glint of cold amusement. The tension is shattered by a barked order—Gorthaur, face dark with rage, berates servants who tremble under his lash. This is a surreal collision of Sauron’s history and personas, all orbiting the absolute absence of their one true master.*
