We know Morgoth aka Melkor as the all-powerful Lord of Darkness, Tolkien's fallen angel and official representative of the world's evil. If you take a quick look at the plot of The Silmarillion, you can easily notice recurring things. Morgoth starts a great cunning plan, brings it almost to a victorious end and in the end... loses.

Evil dominates and loses. Today we will figure out how the great Melkor created villainous creativity that does not lead to victory. Why did Sauron's master fall to the very bottom and eventually disappear?
