nazgûl

This is something that I couldn't really figure out properly. It is stated that if they stay in Middle-Earth for too long, the elves' bodies start to get physically weakened and degraded until they become like wraiths due to the marring of Arda caused by Morgoth. But their bodies will stay...

Here it is - an Entish "What If" question. Most of you probably know Ent is not fond of "what if's," preferring to deal in "what is." However, IF we were to have have: 9 Ents in one corner of the ring, and 9 ringwraiths in the other, and the two groups decided to go head-to-head in a brawl...

I'm recalling a quote from The Two Towers, where Frodo tells Gollum that the Ring mastered him long ago and that swearing on the Ring was a bad idea and that he has merely to command him to do anything and he'll do it. Since the same would be true for the Nazgul, that they long ago fell to the...

In The Two Towers, Gandalf says that: ''It is two-hundred leagues or more in straight flight from Barad-Dur to Orthanc, and even a Nazgul would take a few hours to fly between them.'' I measured on the map, and it's about 590 miles between Barad-Dur and Orthanc, so if it flew that distance in 3...

One thing is for sure was. I did NOT want to be caught by this guy O_O. I had this on PC back then, i rebought it a year ago on PC. Its not perfect game but it was fun for what it was.

These ones Because in the beginning of the movie Fellowship of the Ring, there was no reason to why Ringwraith who pursued Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin couldnt jump with the horse or go into the water himself. Just wondering?

Would that terrify you?

As we all already knew that Nazgul were almost the OP super weapons during the backround of LOTR in the 3rd Age at least, yet just in comparison with those Free People military standard from 3rd Age, possibly the weakest Free People of all time. Then how did these Nazgul perform in military...

It was said that the Nazgul, or at least the Witch King for sure, were able to inspire terror that would frighten off all but the bravest of men. And we know that Sauron's human armies weren't immune to being terrified, as Aragorn was able to get the Oathbreakers to scare off Sauron's goons...

We know that the Nine fell under the dominion of Sauron from his lesser Rings, some sooner than others, but all fell in then end. But do we have any idea who these nine men were? I mean, were they once noble men of Gondor/Numenor, perhaps like Isildur once, only to be corrupted, or were...

I know that Sauron held these Nine after the Nazgul were corrupted, or I think he did, so getting them from him would have been practically impossible. However, in theory, if you threw one of the Nine Rings into Mouth Doom or threw it before Smaug when he was spitting fire, could you destroy...

I know it happend in the cartoon, i watched it on VHS ages ago, though when LOTR Fellowship of the Ring by Peter Jackson came out it blew me away But i am curious, does this segment ever happen in the book? Its quite iconic to lot of people i think...

Even Gandalf, who was a freaking Mair and was able to kill a Balrog, seems like he was incapable of destroying these things.

Hi there! well the thread title says it all. I am game-mastering a RPG game for a bunch of friends in Arthedain in the 1350s TA. It is a remix of several stories and adventures, where they play dunedain rangers from Arthedain trying to fight the growing power of Angmar. Like trying to save the...

There's a question on Quora asking, "What's the big deal about the Nazgûl losing their horses?" Of course, this is taken to mean the horses and Ringwraiths being washed away in the flooding of Bruinen. Strangely, one answer states that the Witch-king manages to save his horse, even though there...

So what are we thinking happens to an Elf if they'd been enslaved via one of the Three? Would they be ringwraiths just like Men? Would they be something magnitudes greater? We know the dwarves resisted direct domination and could only be turned into greedy, grasping monsters. The Elves have...

https://thetolkien.forum/threads/top-several-strongest-bad-ass-character-of-me-good-guys.29125/ Now let's discuss Nazgul's rank of their priority into battle. Though Naguls have too few combat records, maybe we can infer how tough they're according to their previous status as humans...

So, I once had a dream, where, I am assuming in the Seventh Age of Middle-earth, the Ringwraiths, I think three were chasing my dad and I and some friends, at night in our car and they on their horses, we shot fire arrows, until we hit a flooded street. Ringwraiths would not follow because...

According to what is said; Tolkien had written a letter to an friend or acquaintance in Wales. This letter was to someone who was sold in an auction in France (Marseille). There were those who saw it. In this letter, the nickname "Eastern Ring Slave" was used for one of the Nazgul, and it was...

Hi. The second commander of Nazguls is Khamul we know. According to unfinished tales; Khamul is called Black Easterling and Shadow of th East. But I don’t know certainly where he is from formerly. Do you know where he is from? Rhun? And do you know him skin colour, hair- eye colour etc? Thanks:)
