Sauron faces Elendil and Gil-galad on the slopes of Orodruin, by Kip Rasmussen
Events
- Defeat of Sauron by the Last Alliance: he is overthrown by Elendil and Gil-galad, but they both perish in battle.
- Isildur cuts the One Ring from Sauron's finger with the shard of Narsil, and the Dark Lord passes away, while his Ringwraiths hide into the shadows.
- Despite Elrond's and Círdan's counsel to destroy the Ring in the fires of Orodruin, Isildur keeps it for himself as a weregild for his father's and brother's deaths.
- The Second Age ends. In the aftermath of the War of the Last Alliance, many Elves depart to Aman, and the Ñoldor realms in Middle-earth is no more.
