Isildur and Elendil

Isildur was the oldest son of Elendil and the brother of Anárion. He and Anárion founded and jointly ruled Gondor in the south, while their father dwelt in Arnor in the north. Elendil was slain in the War of the Last Alliance at the end of the Second Age. Isildur used his father's sword to cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand, but later refused to destroy it. His refusal to destroy the Ring allowed Sauron to endure and remain a threat to Middle-earth. Isildur's bloodline survived in the Dúnedain of the North, and his heir, after many generations, Aragorn II Elessar would help put an end to Sauron's power.
