Re: Purgatory

We see that when the Ring is gone, so too are the Nazgul, the power of the Three Elven Rings, and the relative youthfulness of Bilbo Baggins.

Gollum was not a wraith, to disperse when the magic was gone, but without the power of the Ring, and with centuries of age, he might have gone the way of Saruman when he was slain.

This I would speculate as being almost immediate weakness, a dying word or two ("My Preciousssssss....&quot

, sleep, and a thin, shriveled, mummified corpse.

A pitiable end.

His soul would meet the abyssimal doom of wicked mortals, unless he had himself deliberately saved Frodo, expiating his guilt.
