The One Ring lies lost in the River Anduin. Gollum never finds it. Bilbo never brings it to the Shire. Frodo lives in peace, unaware of the gathering darkness. But does Middle-earth survive without the Quest? Or does Sauron's shadow consume everything?

In this lore deep dive, we explore the darkest timeline in Tolkien's legendarium—a world where the Ring remains hidden beneath the cold waters of the Anduin, and evil wins not through fire and spectacle, but through slow, inevitable tyranny.
