What is Melkor doing in the void?

It is told that Melkor used to wander in the Void to look in vain for the Flame Imperishable. After his defeat in the War of Wrath, Morgoth was cast out into the Timeless Void “through the Door of Night beyond the Walls of the World”, but legends predict that he will return to the World and cause its End.

Why did Melkor lose power?

Because when Melkor used his Will[1] to do evil, this might would be used, and then dispersed. He who uses might for evil purposes is punished with said power being lost to him, and Melkor did nothing but evil, rebuking Eru and all the Ainur that didn’t side with him.

Can morgoth beat Sauron?

Morgoth lost the ability to shed his physical form and was trapped in the shape of a tall, giant Dark Lord. Sauron too lost some powers but as long as the One Ring existed, he could never really be killed. If he had regained the Ring, he would have been unbeatable.

Will Morgoth return to Arda?

Morgoth remains in the Void, unable to return to Arda as long as the Valar maintain their power over it. Nevertheless, according to the Second Prophecy of Mandos, Morgoth will come back and attack Arda.

What did Morgoth do to the world?

Morgoth dispersed most of his innate natural power into the fabric of the world itself. It’s why the world is full of pain and suffering and cruelty. He wanted to make the whole universe an extension of himself, and a reflection of his glory. However, in classic morality tale style, his actions doomed himself.

Could Morgoth be forgiven for his crimes?

Indeed, Tolkien was of the opinion that Morgoth would return. After aeons spent alone in the Void, he could recover much of his former power, become restored, and find a way to return for vengeance. This would trigger the Last Battle and the Day of Doom. Could he be forgiven if he were to repent? Theoretically, yes. God’s mercy is infinite.

What is the difference between Sauron and Morgoth?

Morgoth. Melkor was the most powerful of the Ainur, but turned to darkness and became Morgoth, the definitive antagonist of Arda from whom all evil in the world of Middle-earth ultimately stems. Sauron, one of the Maiar of Aulë, betrayed his kind and became Morgoth’s principal lieutenant.
