The reason they’re cursed is that they favoured Sauron during the final battle of the 2nd age. That’s why Isildur cursed them. So it stands to reason they have some issue standing directly against him.
Yep. At first I was agreeing here. Like, why didn’t Aragorn specify defeating Sauron is the oath fulfillment? But then I realized that yeah, if they worked under Sauron once, its probably safe to say if they directly faced him at the gates he may have some sort of power over them. Too risky. Send away.
