Well, the Ring thing could be explained like this: the inscription remained as long as Sauron was touching it, or in fire. Meaning Sauron was really hot? (Sorry -- that was completely irrelevant). Maybe just the residue of Sauron's physical presence remained until Isildur had time to copy it down. Also, the Orcs probably threw down their weapons and surrendered like their descendents did at the Battle of the Morannon in the War of the Ring, when Sauron was destroyed.<P>EDIT: Okay, looking back, that "Sauron was hot" thing was in reference to the temperature. Get your collective heads out of the gutter. <p>[ January 26, 2003: Message edited by: Manwe Sulimo ]
