The Day Isildur Lost Sauron's Ring

The Disaster of the Gladden fields! Two years after Sauron’s fall, an ambush in the Vales of Anduin claimed the life of High King Isildur and lost the One Ring to the riverbed. This video uncovers the forgotten battle that buried the Ring and set the entire War of the Ring in motion three thousand years later.
