I almost forgot about that.Except that he destroys the Falathrim settlements. (Sauron)
Also for the forum, don’t forget that voting for the Casting nominations is open.

Sauron has been winning this whole time, and will continue to do so with a few exceptions. He successfully demolished the Falathrim, fought off and tamed the spiders, wrecked Maedhros and his massive bodyguard, has bested Gothmog at every turn. He has thus far been the only source of Morgoth's success in Beleriand.Except that he destroys the Falathrim settlements. (Sauron)
I was typing in questions and Professor Olsen didn’t seem to acknowledge them. I also brought up that voting was open early in the session and he seemed to ignore that.Sauron has been winning this whole time, and will continue to do so with a few exceptions.

Next season he's going to take control of Finrod's personal fortress and nearly destroy the house of Beor. He then captures the remaining heir and executes Finrod.
The decision to keep Sauron out of the battle was expressly to keep him elevated by not saddling him with the resultant defeat.
I'm not sure I agree that you're being ignored, just disagreed with. I just think you're looking at very specific moments in our tale without considering everything that comes between.
I think the problem is just that, with so many people talking on the podcast, Professor Olsen is fully engaged in conversation with us and either doesn't notice or have time to respond to your questions. It should get better after the script review sessions are done and the podcast is back to just the two or three hosts.I was typing in questions and Professor Olsen didn’t seem to acknowledge them.

Am I just underestimating Sauron's combat abilities?
If I'm doing something wrong, please tell me.
It's a combination of factors. There's Turgon's goal of preserving the Eldar from Morgoth, her love for Idril, the hopelessness about the war she learns from Amras, and the physical appearance of Ulmo that confirms Gondolin is the will of at least one of the Valar.Do we have solid reasoning as to why Aredhel decides to go to Gondolin?
Perhaps she's saying "Sauron" over and over again?Ok so we need a moment in which Edhellos confesses to Angrod and mentions Sauron. It sounds like something that happens fast, that it comes out of her like a sudden stream of emotions and words. It doesn’t have to take much time, I think.
That could be part of it yeah.Perhaps she's saying "Sauron" over and over again?
How do we tie Sauron into whatever name he's referring to himself as? He isn't known as Sauron beforehand; it can't be Annatar since the Elves of Hollin know him as this, and I wouldn't recommend Mairon since he calls himself this on Numenor.That could be part of it yeah.
In my scripts, I've had everyone just referring to Sauron as Mairon. The only other main figure Edhellos interacts with in Angband are Tevildo and Morgoth, who both call him Mairon. Also, I assume Sauron called himself Mairon in his previous interactions with the Feanorians. Maybe if Edhellos calls him Mairon when she tells Angrod about him, that might be enough of a clue for Angrod to go talk to the Feanorians, and they could decide to call Mairon Sauron.How do we tie Sauron into whatever name he's referring to himself as?

That could work.Another possibility I've thought of is for Edhellos to be mortally wounded by the Balrog but not actually die at that moment. Then, after the battle, she could explain to Angrod about Sauron before she dies.
Yes! Except that Gothmog has named Mairon Sauron alreadyIn my scripts, I've had everyone just referring to Sauron as Mairon.

He has, but Edhellos never meets Gothmog, so I don't think she would have heard it from him.Yes! Except that Gothmog has named Mairon Sauron already
It would be weird if they come up with the same name separatelyHe has, but Edhellos never meets Gothmog, so I don't think she would have heard it from him.
I don't think so. I think it would make it more powerful. It's been a while since I listened to the podcast for Season 1, but from what I remember, Mairon was to be confused by Gothmog teasingly calling him "the abhorred," because he did not see himself as such, but Gothmog promised that he would be.It would be weird if they come up with the same name separately
