The Mural of Annatar
This curious mural appears during the epic quest for Book 14, Chapter 5.
In it, an imposing figure stands over a group of elves, who hold aloft several golden rings. Anyone with a little knowledge of the lore is sure to realize that this is none other than Sauron in his fair form as Annatar.
(This image depicts a mural of the Dark Lord Sauron, when he appeared to the elves as Annatar, the Lord of Gifts.)
The tengwar are written in standard Sindarin mode, and spell, from left to right:
mírodhron = mîr + odhron = jewel + (male) parent
elvellon = el + mellon (lenited) = elf + friend
korfheron = (typoed) corf + heron = ring + master
So they're all just alternate titles for Sauron in his mien of Antheron (Gift Master).
