| Oct 24, 2016 at 9:46 | comment | added | Luaan | Sauron had great interest in Erebor, because it strenghtened his position - Smaug was a powerful agent to block a significant part of Sauron's opposition (Erebor being a huge treasury and an industrial facility) at the very least, and quite possibly an outright ally of Sauron. He wouldn't just turn a blind eye to enemy defeating his side in detail - that's just war strategy 101. | |
