Yes, that's probably true. All for the best I suppose. The appendix chronology of the reign of Elessar, and of his and Arwen's deaths, suffices after all to send us on our way with a note of some satisfactory substance. We don't altogether leave abruptly after Sauron's fall.

I wonder if the Prof. even knew himself what the New Shadow would be? Presumably some sort of evil of Men, I should think, rather than an actual third Dark Lord.
