Frodo's First Time?

Bolsters my theory that part of Isildur's fate may have been deduced by the bearers of the Three at that time (Elrond, Galadriel and Cirdan) - that at least from the point where he put the Ring on, they may have been aware of what was happening to him, up until the Ring slipped off his finger.

I am not so sure...If it were so, how could Gandalf with his Narya travel with Bilbo and don't feel anything at all? (the Hobbit).

Galadriel was obviously briefed on Frodo's actions by Elladan and Elrohir back in autumn 3018. And she could also read Frodo's mind. I don't think she felt anything herself.

It is all conjecture, but I believe the main factor here is what the Wielder of the One strived to do with the Ring on. If he simply put the ring on to hide - from orcs (Isildur, Bilbo, Gollum), from Lobelia (Bilbo), from Tom (Frodo), from Nazgul (Frodo), from Boromir (Frodo again) - then the other ringbearers were not aware of it. But if he tried to make the Ring do something ELSE - like Frodo sitting upon the Seat of Sight on Amon Hen and trying to use its power - then the other ringbearers (Gandalf, Sauron) became aware of him. Same way Sauron was immediately aware of Frodo claiming the Ring.

So, I think Elrond, Cirdan and Galadriel were acutely aware of all the attempts Isildur had made to master the One, (That is why they have done him in, Olmer says ), but maybe they weren't aware of him using the One to escape from orcs at the Gladden.
