The curse of Isildur... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Perhaps the power of the curse came not from Eru but from the Mountain King and his people themselves.

A curse is as strong as a person's belief in it. If the people of the White Mountains felt the guilt of betrayal and the wrath of Isildur in life, perhaps they chose not to continue their journey after death. They believed it was their fate that their feas would remain in Middle-Earth, until they had fulfilled their promise.
