Everyone knows the story of The Lord of the Rings, but nobody knows The Truth.
Who was Tolkien?[]
Contrary to popular belief, Tolkien didn't invent Middle Earth, Middle Earth was a real place that really existed, Tolkien knew The Truth. Tolkien didn't want The Truth to be widely known, though - because that would make some of his characters look rather foolish, having to cover up their own plots. Instead, he wrote a tale that made sure that people would remember Gandalf as a great wizard, and Sauron as a foolish master of evil.
This REALITY is about the chain of events that starts with Gandalf legalising Sauron into existence...
