Hi,
I have already used the search function, but I haven't found an answer to this question:
It is said in Akallabeth that after the fall of Numenor, the body of Sauron was drowned and he came ghostlike back to Middle-Earth. So how was he able to take the One Ring with him? There is of course the alternative that he didn't bring it to Numenor in the first place, but then where should he have left it? Was there any "person" enough trustworthy left behind in Middle-Earth?
Greetings,
EfR
