[Sephiroth]

Woot! One I know (without having to dig out all the books)!


That is Melkor. Sauron calls him that (to Ar-Pharazôn?) in the Akallabêth.

Oh no, wait, I need to tell you the page, do I?

And Ar-Pharazôn said: 'Who is the Lord of the Darkness?'

Then behind closed doors Sauron spoke to the King, and he lied, saying:
'It is he whose name is not now spoken; for the Valar have deceived you concerning him, putting forward the name of Eru, a phantom devised in the folly of their hearts, seeking to enchain Men in servitude to themselves. For they are the oracle of this Eru, which speaks only what they will. But he that is their master shall yet prevail, and he will deliver you from this phantom; and his name is Melkor, Lord of All, Giver of Freedom, and he shall make you stronger than they.'
