nazgûl

Ahh here it is, finaly! Please excuse the long waitng, but it is finaly here! Don't be disieved from the begining, it really does become more scholarly like towards the second half of my report: The Nazgûl Also Known As: Ring Wraiths Úlairi The Nine Black Riders Brief Summary...

This is a crazy and perhaps pointless thread, but I just re-read "A Short Cut To Mushrooms" in FotR, and this quote caught my attention: This is Farmer Maggot's account of his talk with one of the Ringwraiths, and the Ringwraith waved his hand WEST, I was just thinking 'what the?', because...

I'm not sure if anyone has already pointed this out, and there are way too many threads to see if it was. But on Weathertop, I was watching FOTR, and for a little second right when the Ringwraith looks at Frodo when Frodo is holding the ring (while he's laying on the ground) for an instant you...

(quote - from the FOTR-movie, Aragorn at Bree, expalining to the four Hobbits about the ringwraiths) So... What proof do we have that they are immortal if they were once MORTAL Men? Now if you want me to remember about their tragic end at the destruction of the ring, I still see no firm...

One of the ee commentaries arrives at the point when the four hobbits dive under the roots of a tree to hide from the nazgul, and find themselves among a lot of insects. A commentator then points out that the centipedes and other crawlies are meant to be rushing away out of their terror of the...

After the ONE RING is dissapeared in the fires of the Orodruin, the eight rings of the Nazgûl were destroyed. But what happened with the ninth ring of the Witch-King? Does anybody know?

Question!!! Where were the Nazgul in the battle at Mount Doom when Sauron lost the ring?? Were they there, and if they were in what form?

OK i know that the nazgul were great kings and blah blah blah but exactly how did the ring and Suaron turn them into what they are now?

Why are the Nazgul afraid of water? Tolkien never fully explained this concept so I want your ideas on this people!Perhaps we can have a vote on the best idea when we get more input

who would overpower who?

If the 9 rings of men were destroyed while the One Ring was still intact and all else was in place would the Nazgul still retain their power?

Questions, questions I've been wondering about this, and can't seem to find anything on it. (Possibly because I haven't had the time to look!;) ) A friend told me that the ringwraiths couldn't touch water unless their master ordered them to or something, and that's why they stood awhile...

Do they have any names? Excluding the Witch-King (and his AKA's). In the card game for LotR (Decipher version) they are called Úlairë Attëa, Úlairë Cantëa, etc. But that's just Second Nazgûl, 4th Nazgûl, etc. (in this example).

WARNING TO ALL CONCERNED PARTIES! My little sister and her friend were discussing Nancy Drew, complaining about how things are so convenient for her. The girls is always 18. She has summers and summers and summers of 18... Immortality? Then she looks at the crooks and they confess...

I think they will screw it up somehow! If they make it just like the book then I will be eternally grateful... but Im sure theyll change it and ruin it. Post your comments here on how you think they will change the Eowyn-Nazgul scene in the ROTK

here's my question: the nine riders, do the all get the winged horses or is it only a couple? if you can help thanks!

O.K., The most I can count chasing Frodo and Xena/Arwen is 8 Nazgul. Where is the 9th and why isn't he there? What am I missing here? I freeze frame the DVD and zoom in, and every time...eight! Anyone have any response to that? JoA

Ok, I have a lot of complaints about the movie, but I won't get into that now, and anything short of perfection (which is impossible) would make me mad. So I won't get into that... BUT, the one thing that I REALLY want to know: How, may I ask, is Peter Jackson going to explain Eowyn (right...

I had a question. Does Tolkien ever say anywhere in his books the names of the 9 former kings (or ringwraiths). Just wondering...
