Isn't that the big question! While the finale does answer the question of Sauron's identity - we'll get to that imminently - it also seems to open up an entirely new mystery. As the three spooky cult leaders try to remind "Sauron" who he really is through strange magic and peer pressure, we start to learn some very suspicious truths about the supposed King of the Southlands (Charlie Vickers). And in the moments before the episode credits begin to roll, the trio of wizards tell the Stranger that they are there to serve him as he is "Lord Sauron." If it seems like The Rings of Power has blown its magical load incredibly soon then don't despair as the truth is not actually that simple. It's here that he finally comes across the Dweller (Bridie Sisson) in disguise as Nori. We find him in the lush landscape of Eryn Galen the Greenwood, also known in Tolkien's lore as the Mirkwood. That's what the show wants you to believe as its cold open reintroduces the Stranger (Daniel Weyman).
