Hail.I don't know if you have discussed this before but does anybody know the names of the Nazgul? Or the other rings' names?(if they have any).For example those that were given to the dwarfs? :confused:
 
Great question.
Khamul comes to mind immediately as being the second in command of Nasgul. The Chief Nasgul was the witch king of Angamar, but I don't think I've ever seen him called by name. I don't believe anuy other Nasgul are ever mentioned by name.
 
i think hes asking for the names of the rings. Like the elven rings had names.
 
Duh... the dwarven rings were
1. Ed
2. Steve
3. Bob
4. Frank
5. Mortimer
6. Jeb
7. Jethro

the nine rings were all called Terry and no one knows why.
 
We do know that at least three were originally Lords of the Numenoreans who had taken dwellings farther South in ME.
 
The only Nazgul that are named in any writing of Tolkien's are the Witch King of Angmar (which isn't really a name, perse)...and Khamul, Shadow of the East (from Unfinished Tales).

For what it's worth, all the Nazgul are named in ICE's 'Middle Earth' collectible card game (and probably in the role playing game as well, I imagine)

#1 The Witch King of Angmar
#2 Khamul the Easterling
#3 Dwar of Waw
#4 Ren the Unclean
#5 Hoarmurath of Dir
#6 Adunaphel
#7 Akhorahil
#8 Indur Dawndeath
#9 Uvatha the Horseman

I don't know where those names came from...probably made up for the games.

Ren the Unclean! :D :D ROTFLMAO!!!! That is just so funny. ren the UNCLEAN. Thats not a very good name for someone who would strike fear in you. I'd run away from him because he was unclean not because he was scary.
 
When the Witchking was killed by Eowyn/Merry didn't the control of the battle revert to Gothmog, Lieutenant of Morgu? Not sure if he was a Nazgul but I've always assumed he was.
 
I'm guessing that they didn't plan ahead for him dying. Plus The Witch King was the leader of that army, not just some unit outfitted for him. Also, I'm thinking that there wasnt too much of a battle strategy planned out besides 'Destroy Minas Tirith Somehow', which would require a leader after the initial door busting.

Gothmog was the Balrog Captain. And he was killed way before the third age began. As well, Gothmog was almost the same rank as Sauron, maybe higher, as far as chain of command goes.

Click to expand...
I would say that there was a kind of strategy of destroyinf Minas Tirith.As I can remember Jeff wrote a very good post about the armies and the battles during the war of the ring ,read it and you'll find that there was a strategy ......
 
Oh, yeah, sorry - kinda forgot that part... Oops! Looks like I need to read my books again. :p I guess that would make me Eddy then...
 
*shakes head again and bursts into laughter* you sound like the star football players girlfriend.
