What happened to Sauron after the destruction of the One Ring? Did he die? Was he just diminished? What’s the difference between the two? These are the questions I want to answer in this video about the fall of the Dark Lord, the One Ring he forged, Self-incarnation, and what death means when speaking of not only mortal beings but immortal beings like Sauron.
