One Ring Transport
when Sauron was brought to Númenor he soon controlled the minds and wills of many Númenoreans . Men began to curse the gift given to them by Eru, wishing rather the life of the Eldar. Ofcourse Sauron had the One ring with him which gave him an even more greater power of the minds of the Men. The "King" of Númenor was at this time Ar-Pharazôn the Golden. Under the will of Sauron he set forth to valinor and reached its shores. For this Númenor was destroyed but the Faithful had escaped. sauron's body was destoryed in the downfall of the Island. How do you think the ring was returned to Middle-Earth? Do we assume his spirit carried the ring to the dark place? I have read nothing on this and would love to hear the opinion of the Mooters.

I think there is a Letter about this that says it was indeed carried off by his spirit.

Wow. I was always under the impression that he left the One in Barad-dur when he went to Numenor. The only quote I could find at short notice was from the Akallabeth.

Perhaps that is the wisest thing to do. The History of Middle-earth can drive you mad.
