Event Type: Artifacts
Age: 3rd Age - Ring War
Date: March 25, 3019
Description:
An event in the Destruction of the One Ring; see that entry for an overview:
Something struck Sam violently in the back, his legs were knocked from under him and he was flung aside, striking his head against the stony floor, as a dark shape sprang over him. He lay still and for a moment all went black. ...
Sam got up. He was dazed, and blood streaming from his head dripped in his eyes. He groped forward, and then he saw a strange and terrible thing. Gollum on the edge of the abyss was fighting like a mad thing with an unseen foe. To and fro he swayed, now so near the brink that almost he tumbled in, now dragging back, falling to the ground, rising, and falling again. And all the while he hissed but spoke no words.
The fires below awoke in anger....The Return of the King, LoTR Book 6, Ch 3, Mount Doom
