I still found it rather queer that when Isildur claimed the One Ring, he did not understand the significance of the One Ring. Surely, Gil-gilad and Elrond would have explained the whole situation to Isildur before the War? Apparently, Isildur was challenging the power of Sauron when he claimed the One Ring after Sauron's first demise.
The Foundations of Baradur were not broken at that time, neither were there mention of any tremors, because the power of the ring bound the realm together. If Sauron is being literally the entire realm of Mordor, then his first demise would have removed even the foundations.
