It is a Quenian word. In early Quenya it is Thauron.

4. The other name of Sauron is:

Answer: Gorthaur

Gorthaur the Cruel, Thu the Hunter - these names he was given by the Sindar, because he would hunt down his enemies and torture them.

When his power grew great, Sauron became Lieutenant of Melkor and was given command of Angband - Melkor's second fortress.

6. Which fortress did he capture two years after Dagor Bragollach?

Answer: Minas Tirith

Minas Tirith was the Tower upon Tol Sirion. It survived Dagor Bragollach (the War of Sudden Flame) and Morgoth sent Sauron against it. Under the ruling of Sauron, Tol Sirion was called Tol-in-Gaurhoth - the Isle of Werewolves.

Answer: Vampire

The doom of Huan, the hound of Valinor, was to face death hardly after combatting with the greatest wolf that ever walked. Sauron thought that he could comlete the doom of Huan and turned himself into a great wolf. But Huan defeated him.

9. He took that name and a beautiful body, because he wanted to attract:

Answer: The Eldar

In Eregion lived Noldor elves, craftsmen of the People of the Jewel-smiths. Annatar (Sauron) improved their abilities and motivated them to make the Rings of Power, because he wanted to bond the elves to him.

10. True or false: Of the 20 Rings of Power, Sauron helped the elves to make only the Seven and the Nine.

Answer: True

The Three were made by Celebrimbor (grandson of Feanor, who made the Silmarils). Sauron had never seen even one of the Three, but he collected all the others. The Seven he gave to the Dwarves and the Nine, to the Men. The elves were not involved in creating the One Ring.

Amon Amarth is also known as Orodruin or Mount Doom.
Sauron made the One Ring to bind all of the others. He placed much of his power in it.

Sauron WANTED to be captured, because this was the only way to get there. In Numenor his plans led to terrible consequences and his own death. But his spirit returned to Middle-earth and built a new form.

13. Who wasn't slain by Sauron?

Answer: Finrod Felagund

Gil-galad and Elendil were killed by Sauron at the War of the Last Alliance. Finrod Felagund was slain by a wolf in the dungeon of Tol-in-Gaurhoth.

15. The name of Sauron's tower in Mordor is:

Answer: Barad-dur

There he died (not only the body this time, but the spirit too), when the One Ring was destroyed.
