: Nope, I disagree completely.
: Come on people! The silmarills did not fade when Feanor died. Neither did the Palatir.
: So why then should the 3 fade with Sauron?: Gandalf You're missing the point. The Silmarils did not fade with Feanor's death, BUT, if he had allowed the Valar to use them to resurrect the Trees, (destroying them in the process) he could not have created new ones. It was not the downfall of Sauron that caused the Three to fade, but the destruction of the One. Sauron used a great deal of his power to tie the Three, the Seven, and the Nine to the One. The destruction of the One caused Sauron's downfall, as well as the downfall of anything connected to it. New Rings could not be made for the same reason that new Silmarils could not be made.
