    Their oath bound them in undeath. Once they fulfill their oath, they can’t just choose to stick around. They’re a single-use consumable item.

    Oh and even they can’t just walk into Mordor, because Sauron casts Turn Undead as a 20th level Cleric.

      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.

    At least in the movie they quite literally fought for Gondor. In the books, they just kill some corsairs far away from Minas Tirth.
