[Lathriel]

Maybe the cloud looking like Sauron would have been a bit too much. It wouldn't be as subtle as an eye that is extinguished like a candle when all the oxygen is taken away because the ring was like Oxygen to Sauron. Or at least that is how I always thought of it.<BR>One thing I have to point out. In the prologue of FOTR when the ring is cut of everyone is thrown to the ground. However in ROTK when the ring is destroyed the armies of the West are left standing and the enemy is thrown to the ground. I thought that was kinda cool.
