Jan 9, 2019 at 1:00 comment added Pryftan @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.

Jun 8, 2018 at 14:47 comment added Wallnut So the Ring is sort of like Sauron's Horcrux?
Feb 5, 2015 at 21:43 comment added Omegacron "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.
