After a year of dropping the ring of power in lavas of Modor, why did the wound from the mogul blade not heal?.was the medicine of the elves not enough to cure him, did he have to carry the wound for the rest of his life even in the west?
Such are the things I like to wonder about in my spare time XD
Do you reckon their relationship was a frosty one? Would they have competed for Sauron's favour? And would the Mouth have known each Ringwraith according to his measure?
Hi guys,
Hope this isn't a stupid question but I've been thinking about it recently. We have no indication of the fate of the Nine rings of power after the destruction of the one. Obviously the nazgul perished with Sauron - but their rings could have survived, somewhere in Mordor, if Sauron...
I had been wondering to myself if it was possible someone could have gotten hold of the Nine Rings and thrown them into Mount Doom without falling to their lure. However, I'm wondering, what became of the Nazgul and the Nine Rings when Sauron fell (the first time, not the final time)?
If...
In Return of the King, Sauron freaks out and sends the eight remaining Nazgul all toward Mount Doom to try and prevent the Ring's destruction. Of course, for the side of the good guys, it was luckily too late for the Nazgul to get there in time.
However, if Sauron truly thought Saruman had...
His whole point of making the Ring was to subdue the wills of those who took the other Rings as them using the other Rings would make them vulnerable to being controlled by him.
However, he lost his Ring when Isildur cut it from his hand and he never ever got it back. Isildur took it and then...
The Nazguls were supposed to be the scariest thing that someone could encounter in Middle Earth, but I think that the fear of them was not based on any sort of real evil effectiveness.
Let me summarise here for you, what the Nazguls couldn't do.
They were afraid of fire.
They couldn't cross...
I know this seems awful to think about as decent people, but consider what Mordor would have done in the situation of the good guys. Who is to say that after Frodo was stabbed, that they wouldn't just leave him to die and give the Ring to someone stronger like Aragorn? Staying with Frodo...
The part I didn't like one bit in the third Hobbit film, where you can see the forms of the Ring-wraiths, without their black cloaks. The Nazgûl wore their rings long enough that their physical forms faded away until they had become entirely invisible to mortal eyes. Their black robes gave them...
When Isildur cut the Ring off Sauron's hand, the Dark Lord's body crumbled and his spirit fled. But what happened to the Nazgul?
The ringwraiths survived, there's no doubt about that, but where did they go with their master defeated?
Sometimes the Nazgul are said to have been kings, but is there any passage from Tolkien that declares that each and every one of them used to be kings (before turning into wraiths)? Sometimes they are said to have been warriors, sorcerors, and kings, implying that some were not kings. At any...
Excellent article I found explaining this for those that aren't familiar with Tolkien's work. (please read before you go telling me that Aragorn's people didn't seal the Ringwraiths in tombs, I know they didn't lol...)
I just figured this would be good for you to show to someone if they ask...
The Rise of the Nazgul is my latest short film project and is still in pre-production stages. The film is entirely inspired by JRR Tolkien's books, and it is set within his world of Middle Earth. The story follows to best friends (Adunaphel, Caryddyn) who have just emigrated to the land during...
the beasts on which the nazgul travelled in the sky are described as bird like creatures, so are they some kind of giant eagles? or are they indeed dragons as seen in the film?
any answers are welcome
Alright, seeing as everyone else can't be stuffed... ;)
Sauron established dominion over the peoples of Middle-earth through the magical devices of the Rings of Power. More importantly he subjugated the Nine Nazgûl to his service and subverted their wills and usurped them with his own (there...
Were the Nine Rings of Power taken by Sauron from the Nine (once they were subservient completely to his will) as a precautionary measure to prevent them from being dominated by a Challenger to his Power?
Aragorn, Faramir, Saruman and perhaps Denethor would all be candidates to Challenge...
