Um, isn't this some of Tolkein's own writing? And therefore, doesn't it violate the non-copyrighted work rule? -- April 14:27 Aug 13, 2002 (PDT)
Yep, It's not written from an NPOV either and therefore is bound to upset all the orcs out there. It needs to be removed. -- Derek Ross
Reading more closely, it looks like a precis, so that's okay. -- Derek Ross
Block of text from article
[edit]I removed the following text from the article: it appears to contest some of the story as related; however I am not knowledgeable on the topic and cannot correct it. I'll put it here for somebody who's read this stuff to sort out. - Bryan is Bantman 22:07, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

- Gil-galad did not challenge Sauron to a duel. The siege of Mordor by "The Last Alliance" was so "straight" ie: so powerful, that Sauron himself was forced to come forward from the Barad-dur and engaged in combat. It was Gil-galad and Elendil that overthrew Sauron in "that last mortal contest", though they themselves perished in the deed. Isildur the son of Elendil used his father's sword Narsil (later to be re-made into Anduril, 'flame of the West', Aragorn's sword) to cut the ring from Sauron's finger, thus ending the battle. The spirit of Sauron however lived on and retreated to the darkness of Mirkwood to rest and regroup.
