In reply to an earlier post. There would NEVER be another dark lord. The whole point of the destruction of the one ring, was that it provided closure on the legacy of Melkor and his evil. They could never return, (until the great end). Evil may still exist in the hearts of men, but never manifested in the shape of a dark lord such as Sauron. For Sauron was in a way just an extension of the will of Morgoth.
