witch king

From what i know. He is faceless in the book description with glowing eyes and a crown. So the 1980 cartoon got that right. But here is some source i found on what his voice could feel like (Then the Black Captain rose in his stirrups and cried aloud in a dreadful voice, speaking in some...

Seriously, the Witch king just stood at his ground, letting Grey-Haven alone safe as Gondor's D-day acheived to annihilate all his military progress, after the fall of Fornost. Any reason make the Witch-King make such a absurd decsision, such as heavy casualties caused by the Fornost's combat...

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...

What i find weird is the cartoon has the appearance of him right.... but he sounds like skeletor :rolleyes: What is cool though is J.R.R Tolkien himself did audiobooks of the books. Or atleast parts of it

I searched for it over netflix and could not find it. i am now thinking the scene was removed.

Who was the witch king of Angmar before becoming a ringwraith? And where is Angmar anyway?

Supposedly he put them there to guard the tombs and keep the realm from being retaken (or something like that). But if it's his evil magic alone keeping the wights as undead, then upon his death in the Battle of Minas Tirith, the wights should have all perished.

Now I'm not too clear on this, so I'll defer to those with more experience in all things Tolkieny, but I was made aware by one of my movie watching friends that in the Return of the King Extended version, Gandalf's staff is broken by the Witch King. I responded with incredulity, but when I...

Who killed him? Is it Eowin or Merry? In my point of view it's Merry's barrow blade that started the wight's destruction. Being made with the purpose of fighting him it broke the spell that holded him as one whole, Eowin's stroke simply speeded up the process, yet he was already dying. So what...

What causes the death of the witch king? I've heard that its merry's sword or the profecy that the witch king can not be killed by any man but is instead killed by a woman or is it a combination of the two?

In the Battle of the Plains of Pelennor, Éowyn, with the help of Merry, destroys the Witch-King. And in Unfinished Tales (I think) Earnil is all mad because he was put to shame by the Witch-King and Cirdan or some other Elf like that, says something about that no man would be able to kill the...

When Gondor came to the aid of Arnor and the witch-king came out to face Eärnur why after his first charge at him did he run into the shadows if no man could kill him?

Well, Inder already knows most of this argument, but I'm going to post not only who I believe the Witch-King is, but propose another idea also. I'm proposing that the Witch-King is indeed Herumor, he has a Quenyan name (translated as 'dark-lord'), and only those of the race of Númenór...

This may be a VEARY stupid thing to ask ...but If nazguls are imortal how could the witch King be Killed?:confused:

Read and discuss; Do you think 'Tal-Elmar' could be the Witch-King? Is this argument valid or hogwash? Did the Witch-King have sweaty arm-pits? The Name of the Witch-King

Another topic from the Debate-Tournament: Who was the primary factor in the death of the Witch-King, Eowyn or Merry? Enjoy:)

From Appendix A to The Lord of the Rings: From The Battle of the Pellenor Fields: 1. In what sense do you understand the word 'man'? a) male of any race b) mortal Man If "a)" is the case, then no male of any race could ever slay the Witch-king, including Gandalf (a male Maia)...

well..not die.... be vanquished you know what i mean... if merry and pippin are still at Isengard and eowyn is way ahead of them how the hell is merry gonna get there ? The only senseible way they could change this is by making gandalf realise isengard is empty and head there... then they...

How long was the Witch-King alive when he was still human? It seems to me that he was alive for all of the Third Age, and perhaps some of the Second Age as well. When Sauron was defeated by Gil-Galad and Elendil the Witch-King continued to exist with great authority; and having a realm of...
