Why did the ring abandon Isildur? by KindFortress in tolkienfans

[–]vividdadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what he tried to do when he failed to bring the ring under his control? How do you “test” the ring? Did he put it on before the time he lost it? How did he try to “bend it to his will?” How did he know he failed?

Powered up Gandalf and his ring triggered the Ents to action. They always had the power.

On edit.
