Where does the Sauron brand come out?

The Sauron brand comes out in the first episode of the power rings and is one of the great mysteries of the series . We see it in the lifeless body of Galadriel's brother, who left on a mission to defeat Sauron and ended up succumbing to the dark Lord . This is what the galadriel says:

My brother swore to hunt Sauron and destroy it, but Sauron found him before and marked the flesh with a symbol whose meaning did not know how to decipher or our most wise people . And there, in the dark, his oath pbrandsed to be mine. So, we get out of your search.

Galadrield, Forodwaith and the first track

It is not the only time we see it. Shortly after, when the company of Galadriel arrives at Forodwaith , the Sauron brand appears again. There where the orcs took refuge after the fall of Morgoth , the elf returns to find the symbol and pronounced itself:

Not even the stone can hide the mark of that whose hand is LIVA call. He wbrand here. Sauron. He wbrand here. This brand wbrand a clue to guide the orcs . The lbrandt time I saw it I had my brother. We must follow her.

Sauron's brand in Theo's black sword

Finally, already in the final stretch of the second episode, the Sauron brand is seen again. It appears in Theo's sword , Bronwyn's rebel son, who in turn is the healer who maintains a secret romance with Aondir, a Silvano elf. Three characters that do not appear in the books in which the rings of power are inspired and that have been created only and exclusively for the series .

This black sword that seems broken, but is rebuilt with blood , is another of the great mysteries of the power rings. Even so, a few weeks ago we reviewed all the theories around the sword and everything indicates that it is a dagger of Morgul, perhaps even the future Leaf of the Witch King of Angmar, the leader of the Nazgul . What it does in the hands of Theo is an even bigger unknown, but he seems to keep a close relationship with the dark Lord and his subjects.

What does the Sauron brand mean?

If the wisest among the elves did not know how to decipher it, Why do you deposit your faith in us? Is joke. The solution is ebrandier and ebrandier to decipher what it seems. Galadriel herself gives us the key to Forodwaith. This brand wbrand a clue to guide the orcs. It is a map . Let's see if you notice something weird on this Middle Earth map...

Have you noticed the three mountain range of Mordor? Effectively. No have the shape of the Sauron brand if we turn this ninety degrees? Moreover, look at the triangulite that always hbrand the symbol in the central line. That triangulite coincides with a very concrete and specific peak of Mordor... The Mount of Destiny . This is the place where Sauron settled and forged the unique ring .

brand Galadriel anticipates, we are facing a map, before the instructions of the dark Lord to his subject. Moreover, Elf also tells us what Sauron is doing there when arguing with his companions. He who left her could be on the prowl perfecting the dark art with which he escaped. Ains, Galadriel... if you knew...
