- simile ad ombra di Morgoth, e lo seguì passo passo, lungo il rovinoso sentiero che lo trasse giù nel vuoto."
Ma chi era questo Sauron, secondo luogotenente di Melkor/Morgoth? Ebbene: in principio, Sauron, o per meglio dire Mairon, era un maia di Aulë. Esattamente come Saruman.
“While still in his early youth he wedded Nerdanel, the daughter of a great smith named Mahtan, among those of the Noldor most dear to Aulë; and of Mahtan he learned much of the making of things in metal and in stone.” — The Silmarillion

“Then Aulë took the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves, and laid them to rest in far-sundered places; and he returned to Valinor, and waited while the long years lengthened.” — The Silmarillion

“The spouse of Aulë is Yavanna, the Giver of Fruits. She is the lover of all things that grow in the earth, and all their countless forms she holds in her mind.” — The Silmarillion

“Aulë has might little less than Ulmo. His lordship is over all the substances of which Arda is made. In the beginning he wrought much in fellowship with Manwë and Ulmo; and the fashioning of all lands was his labour.” — The Silmarillion

“Of the fabric of Earth had Aulë thought, to whom Ilúvatar had given skin and knowledge scarce less than to Melkor; but the delight and pride of Aulë is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery.” — The Silmarillion
