How does he control an entire army in this form? Does he mind control the orcs? Is there a room in the tower where he speaks to the Mouth of Sauron directly? Are there sub commanders? What system designates the chain of command in Mordor? Does Sauron anoint the orcs he likes with evil power?

How did he get all the elephant people to come and fight for him? Did he pay them with Mordor money? Do his mind control powers reach hundreds of miles? Why couldn’t he use his mind control powers to defeat Gondor?

What do they eat in Mordor anyway? There are no fields, no infrastructure, no water sources.

sauron's power is pretty lovecraftian if you get deep into the lore

Sauron has a physical body in the books
the giant floating eye on top of a tower is hackson bullshit and should have never been included

Fuck off George. You have a series to finish.

his ring can bend the minds of even the most powerful beings and yet you wonder how he has influence

>>212981477 (OP)
Sauron wasn't just some floating eye and his reputation as a demi god was known

On some level it was his malign influence but on another of course he'd have a cultish following who would bring people to his forces in the hope of earning his favour or escaping his wrath
