Warning - The rest of this article contains spoilers for the premiere ofThe Rings of PowerSeason 2.
This scene was set long before the events ofThe Rings of Power.
This means that the opening scene likely occurred sometime at the beginning of the Second Age after Morgoths defeat.
Adar and the Orcs did not like this idea.
After falling to the ground, dozens of Orcs took turns stabbing Sauron until he appeared lifeless.
The Rings of Powermade it clear that Adar had killed Sauron.
His physical body was completely gone, and he was left in an entirely weakened state.
The question many fans now have, though, is why Adar chose to kill him.
It is important to remember who Adar once was to answer that question.
Before he was the father of Orcs, Adar was an elf.
In Season 1, Galadriel suspected that Adar could have been one of the Moriondor.
That would explain why Adar still looks rather normal and is more intelligent than other Orcs.
Assume Adar is one of the Moriondor.
It isn’t like he willingly came to Morgoth and Sauron’s side to serve them.
Instead, he was more of a servant.
That fact alone would explain why Adar has so much hatred for Sauron.
Another big reason that Adar wanted to kill Sauron was how Sauron treated the other Orcs.
Being a Maia, Sauron felt he was far superior to the Orcs and any other beings of Middle-earth.
These experiments often resulted in what was more or less torture until the Orcs were killed.
A lot of characters inThe Lord of the Ringsfranchise desire power.
However, Adar has not recognized Sauron since he took on a different physical form (Halbrand).
The Rings of Poweris streaming onAmazon Prime Video, and new episodes are released every Thursday at 3 a.m. ## LATEST NEWS
