    What if 👁️Sauron regained the ring, or Isildur never got the ring?

    So this will be split into two scenarios: 1. The One Ring is reclaimed by the Nazgul from Frodo in Mt. Doom. 2. Sauron swings his colossal weapon thing and kills Isildur. what would happen? Edit: Now imagine that after years, Radaghast and the others form a last resistance against Sauron, what...

    It seems it was a mistake for the Ring to leave Isildur

    A mistake anyway for the Ring and Sauron. Isildur was already the heir of Gondor and thus was a pretty powerful man. After it left him, it only came to lowly Hobbits (Deagol, Smeagol, Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam)). If it had stayed with Isildur, it could have corrupted him and started a civil...

    Could 👁️Sauron come back to power without the One Ring?

    Most of the evidence in the books seems to suggest that the answer is "no", but, on the other hand, after reading Shadow of the Past just now, I noticed that Gandalf said that their "dreadful chance" was that Sauron long thought that his Ring HAD been destroyed and so never went looking for it...

    Isildur and the One Ring

    In The Disaster of the Gladden Fields we read of Isildur travelling north with his three sons along the Anduin to claim the kingdom of Arnor having settled Gondor on his nephew Meneldil. Isildur possessed the One Ring having cut it from the hand of Sauron with the shard of Narsil his father...

    Birthyears of Isildurs children

    Hello All New to this forum. I have been posting an extended version of events in the second age at fanfiction. When you run through the events in details year for year some information is hard to find an explanation for... The Numenoreans lived for a long time, and they enjoyed their youth...

    The power of Isildur's curse

    How is it that Isildur, a mortal man, can curse an entire people so that they are doomed to walk the world as shades? Does he use some power that he has within him? If so, are there any parallels? Does he use some mysterious power of the Stone of Erech? Or does he, perhaps, curse them...

    Why didn't 🧝Elrond 💀Kill Isildur and destroy the Ring?

    Ok in the movie, Elrond took Isildur to the Cracks of Doom to destroy the Ring, and if memory serves right, he did it in the book too didn't he? Elrond knew that this Ring would bring the downfall of many nations and of the end of times for the elves, so why didn't he just kill Isildur and...

    What if Isildur had not died?

    I know some of you may find these 'what if' scenarios a bit tepid, but this is still an interesting one and is taken from my post from a previous thread. What if Isildur was not attacked by Orks, or what if he managed to escape? Would that have changed the fate of Middle-Earth? The biggest point...

    What power did Isildur have?

    If he were an Elf, I'd find this a little more believeable, but what power did Isildur have over the men of Dunharow to take away their death? Someone asked this over at Barrow Downs.com er somethin and I came to a dead halt... How could he have done this if he was just a man?

    The Heirs of Isildur

    There's one thing in the Lord of the Rings that I don't get. Gondor obviously hadn't had a king for a very long time. Yet Aragorn obviously desended from the kings. If Aragorn had people to descend from, then how was the line of kings ever broken?

    Isildur's fault ?

    Isildur has always been blamed that for his pride and ambitions he did not cast the Ring into fire to destroy it and that he wanted it for himself - to enlarge and strengthen the dominion of his kingdom and of the race of Men. But here what I've found: Which shows that Isildur meant to go...

    Can someone please explain to me how Aragorn is Isildur's heir?

    I find it hard to comprehend. Wasn't Isildur living a LONG time before Aragorn was? Didn't Isildur die at a young age, thus [maybe] not having any children to succeed him? How the heck can Aragorn be the heir of Isildur? Please, simplify all this for me.

    Isildur not entirely evil!

    Isildur was not entirely evil for I remembered something I read in UT that Isildur was going to give the ring to one of the keepers of the Three Rings, preferably Elrond. What do you think would have happened if the disaster of the Gladden Fields did not occur and Elrond ended up getting the One...
