        Fifth-age Mordorian Nazis would scour the ocean floor for it in their submersibles until they find it.

        At that point no one in Middle Earth would still even believe in the One Ring, if any had even heard of it outside of fairy tales told to children.

          I’m not big on lotr lore. My Atlas of Middle Earth was mostly just used for RPG, and the Silmarillion has been left untouched on the book-shelves in my home. But are you saying that there’s a nazi-hunting-artifacts storyline? Like Indiana Jones in Middle Earth?

            No, I just made that up. Assuming technology continues to develop, if sauron hasn’t been defeated by the fifth age there very well might be a mordorian nazi treasure hunter storyline

              Oh… it would be kinda cool though: the modern world set in middle earth. Maybe add a little steam punk dwarven tech and some elves with electric doodads. I could definitely see an elven technological schism with one traditional group and another consisting of hipsters with the latest innovations.

                  Ah but maybe a small obscure group of elves decided that they could rule middle earth by their sheer superiority and therefore stayed behind. Such arrogance would make them perfect as tech overlord types.
