i think even the eagles may have been corrupted by possesion of the ring, and the greater the victims might, the greater danger they present under thrall of the ring, thus lowly hobbits bore the ring.

whether hobbits, or eagles did it, it certainly caused a power vacuum, and the ensueing times would be the entry scenario to the next campaign.
