“And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.” ~ The Silmarillion

Sauron did not need such a thing but he also knew that no matter how one might try, one cannot corrupt Elf and Dwarf. In the History of The Lord of the Rings Tolkien wrote that Sauron had made many magical rings for the Elves and there were many elven wraiths but even as such they were not under the dominion of the One. And Dwarves were just to stubbon in their own right to be controlled. But I'm rambling. Evil and greed always wants more. It is not content with what it has and so sooner or later makes some fatal mistake. Casting the One with a portion of his will and power was Sauron's. __________________ I'll not bid the stars farewell
mouth of sauron Samwise Gamgee - rank 9 Status: Offline Posts: 2369 Date: Aug 23, 2009	Permalink   It says in the Silmarillion that Sauron sought to gain dominion over the Firstborn because they had the greater power. And the only way he could do that with the Elves is to slowly play into their soft spots (he preached about making Middle-earth as fair as Valinor). Therefore his One Ring and the Rings of Power were a subtle way to try and dominate them, but they were too wise to be deceived. __________________ My Master Sauron the Great bids thee Welcome....
