Sauron, subtitled "The Battle for the Ring, S.A. 3434", is a licensed board wargame published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) in 1977 that simulates the battle between Sauron and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men mentioned in the fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Sauron poses as Halbrand at the gates of Eregion and refuses to leave. Celebrimbor awaits news from Lindon, not knowing that Gil-galad's messengers were killed on their way to Eregion. Despite promising Galadriel that he would never talk to Halbrand again, Celebrimbor eventually decides to turn Halbrand away personally.
In Mordor, Sauron again poses as Halbrand and is brought to Adar. After being tortured by Adar's followers, he reveals that Sauron has returned and offers to go to Eregion—the Elven realm where the rings were forged—while Adar raises his army. Waldreg, a human follower of Adar, is killed by a Warg that Sauron enthralls.
The episode reveals that Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) is the Dark Lord Sauron in disguise, and that the Stranger (Daniel Weyman) is a Wizard. It also introduces the first Rings of Power, represented in composer Bear McCreary's score by the song "Where the Shadows Lie" which is sung by Fiona Apple during the end credits.
