This is a plot line for a video game I want to make.

An alternate ending could be If sauron regained his ring, and the rohirrim and gondorian remnants lived in the mountains(ironically similar to the dundelings), the elves of Lindon would be forced into the mountains to live with the dwarves,  after reclaiming his ring sauron would find out about the three, and try to control them. The elves would be forced to stop using their rings, and are not able to escape to valinor after Lindon is conquered. Some elves try to take the risk, and use the rings. Sauron takes control of the ones who used the rings, while others whi didn't accept the plan to use the rings begin to be attacked by corrupted elves. Isengard and mordor go to war over land disputes, and saroman desperately decides to ask the mountain men (the rohirrim) to aid him in fighting sauron. They accept, which causes mordor to be pushed back to emyn-muil. Many unexpected half breads occur due to the desperate times, including half dwarves, half elf-dwarves, and many others.

could go on and on about how it would play out, but it'd probably require my own blog.
