Hey guys i am trying to understand better LoTR.

I know Sauron was a servant to Melkor.

But after Morgoths defeat he took his place.

Was wondering of Sauron can surpass his master using the ring of power.

Morgoth was a vala, the equivalent of a god in the LOTRverse. Sauron was a maia, the equivalent of an angel in the LOTRverse.

And yes, Morgoth created the dragons.

There was just one god, Iluvatar. For thus who know D&D I would rank them this way.

Iluvatar (or Tom Bombadil) - Overpower

Valar like Morgoth and Ungolianth - Greater Powers

Maiar, like Gandalf, Sauron or the Balrog and beings like Glaurung or Ancalagon - Intermediate or lesser powers

Beings like Ingwe or powered down Istari - Demi Powers

Morgoth is a solid Tier above Sauron with the Ring
