2"For all his loyalty to it, The Ring decided it was time to disappear from the world's awareness, and it led to Isildur's undoing." ... sounds like an old girlfriend of mine.– OmegacronCommented Feb 5, 2015 at 21:43

2So the Ring is sort of like Sauron's Horcrux?– WallnutCommented Jun 8, 2018 at 14:47

1@Wallnut it is, actually.– Ernest Friedman-HillCommented Jun 8, 2018 at 14:49

@Wallnut No. If that were the case Sauron wouldn't have been reduced to an impotent shadow never to threaten the world again would he? Or did Voldemort 'die' when his last Horcrux was gone? No. That analogy I see time and again and it's invalid utterly: the purpose of each artefact is different.– PryftanCommented Jan 9, 2019 at 0:59

@ErnestFriedman-Hill No. It's not. See my comment to Wallnut: If that were the case Sauron wouldn't have been reduced to an impotent shadow never to threaten the world again would he? Or did Voldemort 'die' when his last Horcrux was gone? No. That analogy I see time and again and it's invalid utterly: the purpose of each artefact is different. There's a big difference. As for the answer it was pride. This is noted in Unfinished Tales as well as The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.– PryftanCommented Jan 9, 2019 at 1:00

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
