Product Information

Because Dungeons & Dragons has gone on to influence many popular games, especially role-playing video games, the influence of The Lord of the Rings extends to many of them, with titles such as Dragon Quest, [134] [135] EverQuest, the Warcraft series, and The Elder Scrolls series of games [136] as well as video games set in Middle-earth itself.

The dualistic relationship between these Sith and Jedi concepts of "purity" mirrors the philosophical and literary concept of " Apollonian and Dionysian": the Jedi are portrayed as embracing purity, reason, temperance, altruism and other humanistic virtues; the Sith, by contrast, embrace curiosity, emotion, conflict, power, instincts, unfettered self-interest and other hedonistic vices. However, whereas the classic Greek concept did not necessarily view the Apollonian and Dyonisian principles as opposed, Star Wars frames the Jedi and Sith as opponents in a dire moral struggle, with the Sith cast as corrupted villains apparently destined to defeat or self-destruction in the end.

Accordingly, the Sith reject altruism, self-denial, and kindness, as they regard such attitudes as founded on delusions that fetter one's perceptions and power. In connection with their philosophy, the Sith draw on the dark side of the Force through severe negative emotions, a technique opposed to that of their archenemies, the Jedi, who rely on the Force's "light side," i.e., the Force as experienced through disciplined states of apathy. Notably, both the Jedi and Sith shun romantic and familial love, as well as other positive emotions; the Jedi fear that such love will lead to attachment, and thus selfishness, while the Sith fear it will compromise their ruthlessness and connection to the dark side of the Force. Tolkien 1977, "Note on Pronunciation": "The first syllable of Sauron is like English sour, not sore" The Rebels episode "Twilight of the Apprentice" features a forbidden planet called Malachor, [24] home of an ancient Sith temple. [25] The temple contains a superweapon, and can only be activated by placing a special Sith Holocron [26] in an obelisk at the summit of the pyramid inside the temple. Thousands of years prior, a battle was waged on Malachor that resulted in the deaths of its inhabitants. Somewhere between the events of his last appearance in Solo: A Star Wars Story and this Rebels episode, Darth Maul had become stranded on the planet. When Ahsoka Tano, Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger arrive, Ezra is separated from them. He is discovered by Maul, and together, they use the Force cooperatively to solve a series of tests, and retrieve a Sith Holocron. With the help of Kanan and Ahsoka, they fought three Inquisitors, all of whom are killed by Maul. Maul then betrays his allies, blinding Kanan, and proceeds to activate the superweapon.

We have singled out his master Melkor, aka Morgoth, though, because he manages to be even more grim and evil than Sauron, and often in a more personal way. In one of Tolkien’s versions of the story of Arien, guide of the Sun, published in The History of Middle-earth, Morgoth rapes Arien, prompting her to leave Arda forever. In The Silmarillion, he plans to rape the Elf Lúthien (he “conceived in his thought an evil lust, and a design more dark than any that had yet come into his heart since he fled from Valinor”), and he curses the children of Húrin (see below for how that turned out) as well as corrupting Fëanor… Fëanor

Scholars and critics have identified many themes in the book with its complex interlaced narrative, including a reversed quest, [34] [35] the struggle of good and evil, [36] death and immortality, [37] fate and free will, [38] the addictive danger of power, [39] and various aspects of Christianity such as the presence of three Christ figures, for prophet, priest, and king, as well as elements like hope and redemptive suffering.

Morally, he seems to be pretty upstanding, but the suffering this poor Dwarf is put through would definitely be at home in any grimdark tale. He fled the destruction of their home with his father Thrór, and fought a war against Orcs in which he was blinded in one eye, permanently injured his leg, and one of his sons was killed. Then he was captured and tortured by Sauron, lost the last of the Seven Rings of Power of the Dwarf-lords to the Dark Lord, and was left to die. By the time Gandalf showed up in his dungeon, Thráin II could no longer remember who he was, so he gave Gandalf his last two possessions (a map and a key) and died. Sméagol/Gollum
