Vilken ras är Sauron och var han involverad i skapandet av maktringarna?

1

Okej, från min förståelse var elven de som skapade Rings of Power, men som specifikt gjorde dem? Var de bara skapade av smeden eller var Sauron inblandad i deras skapande också?

Hans mål var att styra hela Middle Earth (antagligen) med sin One Ring, men alverna (och eventuellt dvärgarna) verkade ha motverkat hans försök att kontrollera dem. Så skulle det antyda att han är en Elf, eller kanske en Dark Elf?

Sauron var en fallen Maia . Hans ras var Ainur .

There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought...
-- First words of the Ainulindalë

They were the primordial spirits, who existed with Ilúvatar, and with him created the world through The Ainulindalë, The Music of the Ainur. After the creation of Arda, many of the Ainur descended into it to guide and order its growth; of these there were fifteen more powerful than the rest.
-- The Silmarillion: Ainulindalë

Before the creation of Ea, Sauron was one of the countless lesser Ainur spirits created by Eru Iluvatar, known as the Maia. At this time he was known as Mairon the Admirable, and partook in the Ainulindale, or Music of the Ainur. However, unlike many other spirits, Mairon did not align himself with Melkor upon the introduction of his discord themes, and thus, did not initially fall under his sway.
-- The Silmarillion, Ainulindalë (The Music of the Ainur)

Maktens ringar var tjugo magiska ringar smidda i andra ålder, avsedda av Sauron att förföra medelhavarnas härskare till ondskan. Nitton av dessa ringar gjordes av Eregions elvensmedlemmar, ledda av Celebrimbor. En Ring smiddes av Sauron själv.

Saurons ras är Maia.

Among those of his servants that have names the greatest was that spirit whom the Eldar called Sauron, or Gorthaur the Cruel. In his beginning he was of the Maiar of Aulë, and he remained mighty in the lore of that people. In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part...

- Ainulindalë - Av fienderna

Sauron var ursprungligen Melkors löjtnant och ett mindre var:

And Melkor made also a fortress and armoury not far from the north-western shores of the sea, to resist any assault that might come from Aman. That stronghold was commanded by Sauron, lieutenant of Melkor...

- Quenta Silmarillion - Kapitel 3 - När Elven kommer och Melkor Captivity

Maiar är mindre Ainur:

With the Valar came other spirits whose being also began before the World, of the same order as the Valar but of less degree. These are the Maiar, the people of the Valar, and their servants and helpers.

- Ainulindalë - Of the Maiar

Sauron skapade One Ring själv för att få kontroll över bärarna av alla andra ringar.

Now the Elves made many rings; but secretly Sauron made One Ring to rule all the others...

Eftersom han satte så mycket av sin egen kraft i ringen, var dess förstörelse avgörande för att besegra honom:

And much of the strength and will of Sauron passed into that One Ring; for the power of the Elven-rings was very great, and that which should govern them must be a thing of surpassing potency...
