Is there a quest or session play showing Isildur taking the Ring from Sauron?
Hello all,
Yesterday, I came across a lore video about the founding of Arnor and Gondor and to my considerable surprise, around the 10:04 mark, it showed what seems to be a scene from LOTRO of Isildur cutting the ring off Sauron's hand while Cirdan and Elrond are standing nearby.
I can't recall any such quest in the game, and nothing on the LOTRO wiki matches it (Cirdan and Isildur are apparently only in one quest together, part of the High Elf intro, and that takes place well before the final battle on Mt. Doom). Is this footage of a quest or something that never made it into the game or a post-quest video I somehow missed? I asked the uploader, but he hasn't replied yet, so I'm really baffled. Can anybody shed some light on the situation?

It is certainly referred to a number of times and there is a quest instance during the Black Book in Vales of Andean that shows the confrontation between Sauron, Gil Galad and Isildur. Can't remember if the finger cutting is included. (It may be during the Epilogue.)
Thanks, both of you. I think I figured out a quest it might be: Black Book 12.5 The End of the Tale. But it's not one you can access from a reflecting pool either in the Vales or Mordor Besieged, so I can't be sure. I do have an alt that's on Black Book 11, so I guess I'll find out sooner or later!
