Melkor wasn't familiar with that name, it wasn't one of the titles he had given himself. But it wasn't really difficult to figure out who must have come up with that name.

"Yes but that is not a name to speak lightly even here," he said quickly, more because he wasn't exactly thrilled with it. "But yes, he had walked among us, giving us much wisdom at one time. How he will be defeated, I do not know," he said as he looked back at Legolas, hoping that that would be enough to prompt the elf to share maybe a little of his future. If Sauron had been defeated at one time, was it possible he had been as well?
