Sauron was defeated and lost his most precious treasure and focus of his power, the one ring. Sauron was not vanquished permanently. Though greatly weakened, and in non-corporeal form, he still existed, due to pouring most of his native power, strength, and will into the One Ring. Thus, as long as it existed, he could never be truly defeated. Sauron at last began to rise again in southern Mirkwood. There, he was disguised as a dark sorcerer known as the Necromancer, and the Elves did not realize at first that he was actually Sauron returned. Around this time, the Valar sent the five Wizards, or Istari, to oppose Sauron and rally the free people against him.
