How come Isildur wasn't tempted to use the Ring? If it was literally just off his hand and laden with his evil will ( saurons that is ) why wasn't Isildur converted into a new Dark Lord? Surely he would have recognised it for what it was and possibly had thoughts of using it? Doesn't he write about it being precious to Him, so therefore he will bear the pain of it ( which if he had it in a gold case seems a bit odd... )? He went against the council of Elrond, Cirdan etc and kept it ( the rings work??) so if it started on him then already ( after only a few minutes?? ) and he bore it for two years... Why not Isildur the great?? eat fishisiss three times a day....
