Alternate "Hiding the Ring" strategies - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

But the Ring would play on the minds of the People who threw the Ring away in the first place.

It's 'calling' would almost certainly have people hunting for it, even though it might be generations of Men later.

It would still rot away in the Elfs' minds, chipping away at their resilience against it year after year........

and myths and legends of the Ring would still abound, hundreds of years later.

So by hiding the Ring they are leaving the hard work up to their Children to fix the issue.

A bit like Global Warming for example. Oh don't worry about that, we'll fix it later when we know for certain whether it'll ruin the Planet or not. We'll probably be OK, it's just our children and their children, with the majority of them living on or near a Coastline who will be deluged. They can fix it or move inland and start all over again......

(sorry to bring politics into it, but I think Global Warming is our 'Ring' we have to deal with....)
