: Right, I know this is done to death, but hey, there's nothing wrong with flogging a dead horse. Or warg, if you prefer....

: The Three weren't really bound to the One... except that they were made with the same technology (ringlore), and that the One was a master ring...
: To CONTROL.

: So... if we take the analogy of a computer... I am on a PII, when I log on the net, a more powerful computer (or just any old hacker) can take control of my machine, because his lore is deeper and stronger than mine...
: BUT, when the master computer dies (or when the hacker goes off line), then my computer becomes free again, to roam wither it will.

Presumably your PII uses the Windows OS. Imagine that Windows itself is tainted. (Not much of a stretch if you like conspiracy theories). While the hacker is offline, you are indeed free to do as you wish. But then imagine that Windows itself is destroyed to eliminate the evil. Your PII is now a very expensive paperweight.

: Now, if we think about the Three and the One. The Three were never touched nor sullied by the hand of Sauron. His only control was that he was one heck of a hacker when it comes to Ringlore, so his One controlled all others, if they were worn openly...

: So why should they fade with the passing of the One?? The hacker goes off to bed, so the Three, forged without the hand should not fade with him.
: After all, the knowledge and Lore still exists. Why should something like the Three fade???

The knowledge and lore did not still exist. The secrets of making the Three died with Celebrimbor.

: Makes no sense....

: But hey, that's my rave for the day

: Gandalf

The White Council was the original Tolkien Forum for the Web. The Tolkien Forum on Xenite.Org hosted many discussions between some of the most renowned Tolkien scholars on the Internet. The White Council was renamed to the Tolkien and Inklings Forum after the White Council name was used by other fan sites. The Tolkien and Inklings Forum is now often referred to as the Tolkien Forum by other sites.
