User blog comment:Annatar the Blue/A somewhat wacked theory with fact involved./@comment-26119768-20151212025955/@comment-26254192-20151212042656

Yes I would agree with you except for the fact that this is narration of Tolkien not actually character dialogue. The last of the ringbearers and since sauron is was a ringbearer he must either have left Middle earth earlier since it said last of of the ring bearers he could have left before. That is unlikely though because sauron would not be powerful enough to travel long distances. I guess he could have traveled down harad and got to the dark lands that way (I assume it's the dark lands because he would never again be accepted in valinor and I doubt he would have went to the land of the sun I believe it's called). That is all unlikely though.
