I agree with Birdie. The time of the Maiar on ME had ended with the War of the Ring, so this seems to exclude the "Dark Lords". But again, the 4th Age began the Reign of Men, so there was bound to be "Evil Lords" who tried to pervert and to subvert men to his will. But at this time, instead of one Dark Lord to war against, many "lesser lords" arose to conquer and make war with those of Middle Earth.

Keeper, don't worry about those who argue or call names, just keep posting away. I, for one, appricate these types of questions, as it helps me plan for my story (shameless plug).
