Isildur's bane is the Ruling ring. after the overthrow of sauron he went to arnor for a year. Then, seeking the council of Elrond, he started out to Imladris. While the company was camping orcs sprang on them. Isildur gave the shards of anrsil to his esquire who gave them to valandil. Isildur put the ring on and jumped int he water but the ring slipped from his finger. He then stood upon the bank and orcs shot him.
It is called isildurs bane because that was the reason for his death
