Why does Sauron hate Adar?

Was Sauron killed by Adar?

Because of his age, Adar would have had a prominent place in Morgoth's army, but he was still subservient to Sauron. So, when Sauron took over, Adar became his servant until Sauron started to experiment on Orcs. Because they were his children, Adar rebelled, and to his knowledge, they killed Sauron.

Is Adar the orcs father?

Now we know that Adar is literally the orcs' father on The Rings of Power. So it thus makes sense that the elves call him “Adar.” In Sindarin Elvish, “Adar” is the word for “father.” (The Sindar spoke their own version of Elvish because they never made it to the land of the Valar like other elves.

Did Adar know Halbrand was Sauron?

Halbrand refused to reveal his true identity to Adar

Is Adar on Sauron's side?

Why doesn't Adar recognize Halbrand?

So, Halbrand would hold a grudge if he is Sauron and Adar had tried to kill him (and perhaps severely injured him), but now Sauron has taken the form of Halbrand, then Adar would not recognise him.

Did Adar know who Sauron was?

Adar certainly knew Sauron, but he wasn't a fan. He tells Galadriel that in his quest to master Middle-earth, Sauron sacrificed many of Adar's children. Because of this, Adar killed Sauron.

Why is Adar with the orcs?

According to Galadriel, when the Elves first awoke at the beginning of the First Age, Adar was possibly one of many of them who were taken by Morgoth. He was tortured and twisted, becoming one of the first Orcs, a new and ruinous form of life.

How did Sauron become Halbrand?

Is Adar one of the Nazgul?

The Elven identity of Adar also appears to rule him out as one of the Nazgul (or Ringwraiths) who go on to follow Sauron in the Lord of the Rings saga, as these were Kings of Men. Some had wondered if Adar would be the Witch-King of Angmar, but his Elven ears make this less likely.

Why does Adar look like an Elf?

If Adar was an Elf captured by Morgoth, he must've been one of the earliest Elves to awaken in Middle-earth. As the Enemy's prisoner, Adar and his fellow captives would've been tortured, twisted and corrupted into the very first Orcs - the Moriondor.

Is Adar the Witch-King of Angmar?

This one feels like a stretch as well, given that Adar is an Elf and the Witch-King of Angmar, the “leader” of the Nine, the Ring Wraiths, is a human. That's canon, and the Tolkien Estate has made it clear to Amazon that they cannot mess with canon directly. It is also covered in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

Who finally killed Sauron?

Finally Sauron came out to fight Elendil and Gil-galad face to face. When Elendil fell, his sword Narsil broke beneath him. Isildur took up the hilt-shard of Narsil and cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand, vanquishing Sauron.

What did Galadriel call Adar?

When Galadriel calls Adar's kind — captured Elves tortured and twisted into becoming Morgoth's evil minions — “Moriondor,” which translates to “sons of the dark” in Elvish, Adar says he prefers the term “Uruk,” which is the word for “Orc” in the Black Speech of Mordor.

Is Adar a fallen Elf?

Although it's possible Adar is a weakened version of Sauron who hasn't yet recovered his full power, Joseph Mawle's character is more likely a follower of the Dark Lord than the man himself. The Rings of Power's scene between Adar and Arondir actually leans more toward the villain being a fallen elf.

Could Adar be Maeglin?

Maeglin's father, Eöl, forged it first as Anglachel, but its final resting place remained above the seas at the end of the First Age on Tol Morwen. Thus, to recap: Adar is not actually Galadriel's bro, that's a rouse. Adar is simply a title for the Unwilling Elf, Maeglin.

Could Adar be Morgoth?

Adar Could Be The True Successor Of Morgoth

There have been consistent reports he is a fallen Elf, a quite dramatic departure from Tolkien's own lore given he moved away from the idea that Elves can fall to the Shadow.
