The tale of the Ring's existence is over when it is destroyed, but the plot is not over. Its effects are still evident and the aftermath of the main plot remains to be told.
Quote:
‘Why, to think of it, we’re in the same tale still! It’s going on. Don’t the great tales never end?’
‘No, they never end as tales,’ said Frodo. ‘But the people in them come, and go when their part’s ended.’
