| | Origins of the Nazgûl |
 | | Christopher Tolkien notes in Unfinished Tales, “The Line of Elros”, footnote 10, that there is a discrepancy about the year Tar-Atanamir died and Tar-Ancalimon ascended the throne. | | | But the tale of their betrayal of their fellow Númenoreans does not end with the Second Age. | | | The great irony of the fall and death of the Lord of the Nazgûl is that the people who killed him are people whom he despised. |

| | The Barrow-Downs |
| | When Sauron as Annatar together with the Elves of Eregion forged the Rings of Power, he gave nine of his rings to lords and kings of Men, in order to bind them to the Ruling Ring he intented to make. | | | On the day of the great battle on the field of Pelennor, Théoden, King of Rohan, fell before the might of terror of the Lord of the Nazgûl, who in turn was slain by Éowyn and Meriadoc, and the prophesy Glorfindel once made that not by hand of man he would fall. | | | The incoming flood crushed the Wraiths, and forced them to flee to Mordor to regain their forms. |

| | GreenBooks.TheOneRing.net™ Special Guest The Eternal Conflict in Middle-earth: from Literature to Film |
| | In The Lord of the Rings, we see how no character is truly pure evil: Gollum, the hateful wretch that he is, is nearly able to draw himself from the brink and reform. | | | As a further example, Tolkien even shows how one orc hates his Nazgûl masters when the orc says, "They've done in Number One [the chief Nazgûl], I've heard, and I hope it's true!" (Return 244). | | | I would like to think that, given the choice, he and others would not war against humanity. |

| | The Barrow-Downs |
| | As dauntless as he was hopeless in the great battle of the Pelennor, Merry sprang to her aid, and stabbed the Witch-king from behind with his barrow-blade. | | | When the army of the Riders was to set out from the muster of Dunharrow, Merry was however not considered able to ride with them even though he wished to. | | | The battle had taken its toll on Merry, and he had to recover in the Houses of Healing, staying behind when the rest of the West’s armies went to the Black Gate for the last stand. |
