If Saruman had stayed true to the Free-Peoples, many of the events in the Third Age of Middle-earth would have turned out differently, and Sauron would have had greater opposition to face. Thank you all so much for watching, please let me know your thoughts about this theory and what you believe would have happened in this scenario in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
