It
is
said
that
the
host
that
was
there
assembled
was
fairer
and
more
splendid
in
arms
than
any
that
has
since
been
seen
in
Middle
-
earth
,
and
none
greater
has
been
mustered
since
the
host
of
the
Valar
went
against
Thangorodrim
.
From
Imladris
they
crossed
the
Misty
Mountains
by
many
passes
and
marched
down
the
River
Anduin
,
and
so
came
at
last
upon
the
host
of
Sauron
on
Dagorlad
,
the
Battle
Plain
,
which
lies
before
the
gate
of
the
Black
Land
.
All
living
things
were
divided
in
that
day
,
and
some
of
every
kind
,
even
of
beasts
and
birds
,
were
found
in
either
host
,
save
the
Elves
only
.
They
alone
were
undivided
and
followed
Gil
-
galad
.
Of
the
Dwarves
few
fought
upon
either
side
;
but
the
kindred
of
Durin
of
Moria
fought
against
Sauron
.
The
host
of
Gil
-
galad
and
Elendil
had
the
victory
,
for
the
might
of
the
Elves
was
still
great
in
those
days
,
and
the
Numenoreans
were
strong
and
tall
,
and
terrible
in
their
wrath
.
Against
Aeglos
the
spear
of
Gil
-
galad
none
could
stand
;
and
the
sword
of
Elendil
filled
Orcs
and
Men
with
fear
,
for
it
shone
with
the
light
of
the
sun
and
of
the
moon
,
and
it
was
named
Narsil
.

Then
Gil
-
galad
and
Elendil
passed
into
Mordor
and
encompassed
the
stronghold
of
Sauron
;
and
they
laid
siege
to
it
for
seven
years
,
and
suffered
grievous
loss
by
fire
and
by
the
darts
and
bolts
of
the
Enemy
,
and
Sauron
sent
many
sorties
against
them
.
There
in
the
valley
of
Gorgoroth
Anarion
son
of
Elendil
was
slain
,
and
many
others
.
But
at
the
last
the
siege
was
so
strait
that
Sauron
himself
came
forth
;
and
he
wrestled
with
Gil
-
galad
and
Elendil
,
and
they
both
were
slain
,
and
the
sword
of
Elendil
broke
under
him
as
he
fell
.
But
Sauron
also
was
thrown
down
,
and
with
the
hilt
-
shard
of
Narsil
Isildur
cut
the
Ruling
Ring
from
the
hand
of
Sauron
and
took
it
for
his
own
.
Then
Sauron
was
for
that
time
vanquished
,
and
he
forsook
his
body
,
and
his
spirit
fled
far
away
and
hid
in
waste
places
;
and
he
took
no
visible
shape
again
for
many
long
years
.
Thus
began
the
Third
Age
of
the
World
,
after
the
Eldest
Days
and
the
Black
Years
;
and
there
was
still
hope
in
that
time
and
the
memory
of
mirth
,
and
for
long
the
White
Tree
of
the
Eldar
flowered
in
the
courts
of
the
Kings
of
Men
,
for
the
seedling
which
he
had
saved
Isildur
planted
in
the
citadel
of
Anor
in
memory
of
his
brother
,
ere
he
departed
from
Gondor
.
The
servants
of
Sauron
were
routed
and
dispersed
,
yet
they
were
not
wholly
destroyed
;
and
though
many
Men
turned
now
from
evil
and
became
subject
to
the
heirs
of
Elendil
,
yet
many
more
remembered
Sauron
in
their
hearts
and
hated
the
kingdoms
of
the
West
.
The
Dark
Tower
was
levelled
to
the
ground
,
yet
its
foundations
remained
,
and
it
was
not
forgotten
.
The
Numenoreans
indeed
set
a
guard
upon
the
land
of
Mordor
,
but
none
dared
dwell
there
because
of
the
terror
of
the
memory
of
Sauron
,
and
because
of
the
Mountain
of
Fire
that
stood
nigh
to
Barad
-
dur
;
and
the
valley
of
Gorgoroth
was
filled
with
ash
.
Many
of
the
Elves
and
many
of
the
Numenoreans
and
of
Men
who
were
their
allies
had
perished
in
the
Battle
and
the
Siege
;
and
Elendil
the
Tall
and
Gil
-
galad
the
High
King
were
no
more
.

Never
again
was
such
a
host
assembled
,
nor
was
there
any
such
league
of
Elves
and
Men
;
for
after
Elendil
s
day
the
two
kindreds
became
estranged
.
The
Ruling
Ring
passed
out
of
the
knowledge
even
of
the
Wise
in
that
age
;
yet
it
was
not
unmade
.
For
Isildur
would
not
surrender
it
to
Elrond
and
Cirdan
who
stood
by
.
They
counselled
him
to
cast
it
into
the
fire
of
Orodruin
nigh
at
hand
,
in
which
it
had
been
forged
,
so
that
it
should
perish
,
and
the
power
of
Sauron
be
for
ever
diminished
,
and
he
should
remain
only
as
a
shadow
of
malice
in
the
wilderness
.
But
Isildur
refused
this
counsel
,
saying
:
This
I
will
have
as
were
-
gild
for
my
father
s
death
,
and
my
brothers
.
Was
it
not
I
that
dealt
the
Enemy
his
death
-
blow
?
And
the
Ring
that
he
held
seemed
to
him
exceedingly
fair
to
look
on
;
and
he
would
not
suffer
it
to
be
destroyed
.
Taking
it
therefore
he
returned
at
first
to
Minas
Anor
,
and
there
planted
the
White
Tree
in
memory
of
his
brother
Anarion
.
But
soon
he
departed
,
and
after
he
had
given
counsel
to
Meneldil
,
his
brother
s
son
,
and
had
committed
to
him
the
realm
of
the
south
,
he
bore
away
the
Ring
,
to
be
an
heirloom
of
his
house
,
and
marched
north
from
Gondor
by
the
way
that
Elendil
had
come
;
and
he
forsook
the
South
Kingdom
,
for
he
purposed
to
take
up
his
father
s
realm
in
Eriador
,
far
from
the
shadow
of
the
Black
Land
.
But
Isildur
was
overwhelmed
by
a
host
of
Orcs
that
lay
in
wait
in
the
Misty
Mountains
;
and
they
descended
upon
him
at
unawares
in
his
camp
between
the
Greenwood
and
the
Great
River
,
nigh
to
Loeg
Ningloron
,
the
Gladden
Fields
,
for
he
was
heedless
and
set
no
guard
,
deeming
that
all
his
foes
were
overthrown
.
There
well
nigh
all
his
people
were
slain
,
and
among
them
were
his
three
elder
sons
,
Elendur
,
Aratan
,
and
Ciryon
;
but
his
wife
and
his
youngest
son
,
Valandil
,
he
had
left
in
Imladris
when
he
went
to
the
war
.
Isildur
himself
escaped
by
means
of
the
Ring
,
for
when
he
wore
it
he
was
invisible
to
all
eyes
;
but
the
Orcs
hunted
him
by
scent
and
slot
,
until
he
came
to
the
River
and
plunged
in
.
There
the
Ring
betrayed
him
and
avenged
its
maker
,
for
it
slipped
from
his
finger
as
he
swam
,
and
it
was
lost
in
the
water
.
Then
the
Orcs
saw
him
as
he
laboured
in
the
stream
,
and
they
shot
him
with
many
arrows
,
and
that
was
his
end
.
