The Mouth of Sauron · 09-01-2006, 05:26 AM

There's a question I always meant to ask old Greybeard but he was usually occupied hatching plots at a safe distance .

Instead of forming the Fellowship of the Ring and going through nightmares until Frodo, Sam and Gollum reached Mount Doom , why didnt he arrange for 2 or 3 great Eagles to pick up the Ring at Bag End, fly in stages to Mordor and drop the damn thing in to Mount Doom from a great height ?

The Eagles flew from the Black Gate to Mount Doom in no time and the Nazgul couldn't stop them - so why weren't they given the job of destroying the Ring from the start ?

I am the Mouth of Sauron.
