How did Sauron not know the Ring was in Mordor?

Sauron was defeated and the ring cut from his hand. His spirit was diminished to the point of non-existence, or at least near-absolute non-consciousness for quite some time. He was oblivious to the actions (or inaction) of Isildur and the Ring.

What did Sauron think when Frodo put on the Ring?

It has never occurred to Sauron that anyone would willingly destroy the Ring - this is simply inconceivable to him. Sauron is distracted by the battle.

Did Sauron know where the Ring was?

Why didn't Sauron know Gollum had the ring?

However, the simplest as to why he didn't: Sauron had no way of locating his Ring. Because the Nazgûl track Frodo, and the Eye of Sauron "sees" him when he wears the Ring, some presume that Sauron has some way of tracking it.

Did Sauron know when Bilbo wore the ring?

Sauron and his servants had to know the Ring was being worn and they had to be relatively close to the Ring to even sense it. The Lord of the Nazgul appears to have sensed the One Ring as he led his army from Minas Morgul (when Frodo, Sam, and Gollum watched the army pass by), but he was not sure of what he felt.

Did Gandalf know Bilbo had the ring?

At the end of The Hobbit, Gandalf reveals to Bilbo that he knows about his magic ring. Here's why the scene doesn't contradict The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf's knowledge of Bilbo's ring in The Hobbit doesn't create a Lord of the Rings plot hole.

Why did Gandalf talk to Saruman?

Gandalf didn't know that Saruman was corrupted. There was a rivalry between the two, but Saruman was head of order and the formost expert on ring lore (save for Sauron of course), so it made sense for Gandalf to ask for his help.

Did Sauron think Aragorn had the Ring?

Because the next person he communicated with was Aragorn, Sauron believed that Aragorn captured Pippin and took away his ring.

Why did Sauron choose Mordor?

Mordor was a black, volcanic plain in the southeast of Middle-earth to the east of Gondor, Ithilien, and the great river Anduin. Mordor was chosen by Sauron as his realm because of the mountain ranges surrounding it on three sides, creating a natural fortress against his enemies.

Why does Sauron think Pippin has the Ring?

Potentially he might need to face Saruman with the ring in his possession or face whoever defeated the power of Saruman and Isengard. In any case, Sauron makes the assumption that this Hobbit is the one he is looking for, and that the Hobbit or someone else in the Hobbit's party have the ring.

Why didnt the Ring affect Bilbo?

That knowing would alter how Frodo would use the ring - whether he willed it or not. Additionally, Bilbo never sought to DESTROY the ring, thus the Ring had no reason to protect itself from Bilbo and therefore had less of a grip on him.

Does Gandalf know he is a maiar?
