How would Sauron fare?
Melkor, or Morgoth Bauglir, was the abominable Dark Lord of the First Age of Middle Earth, and Sauron Gorthaur was only his Captain. However, how do you think Sauron (at his greatest height of power) would have fared against the valiant Elves and Elf-friends of the first age? Do you think that his forces would easily have been overthrown or that a Maiar (albeit a strong one) could actually hold sway over most of Middle Earth and the Hither Lands as Morgoth did towards the end of his reign (before the War of Wrath)?
In my opinion, Sauron would have been toppled, as I am sure Melian the Maia was or almost was a match for him in strength of mind, and the hale Noldor and Sindar that abode in Beleriand would surely have been too much for any force that Sauron has ever wielded.
Just a bit of fun speculation...
