The Nazgul, or Ringwraiths, were defeated in the War of the Ring by a combination of powerful forces. At the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, King Théoden of Rohan rallied the armies of Gondor and Rohan to confront Sauron’s forces.
In a crucial move, the wizard Gandalf the White had the Rohirrim charge against the Witch King of Angmar, the strongest of the Nazgul. Meanwhile, Éowyn, the niece of King Théoden, and the hobbit Meriadoc Brandybuck killed the Witch King with the aid of the ghostly form of the former lord of King Théoden’s house, Sir Meriadoc, who had been killed in the fighting.
With the Witch King dead, the rest of the Nazgul were quickly defeated or scattered in the battle. The Ring-bearer, Frodo Baggins, proceeded to Mordor to destroy the One Ring. When the One Ring was cast into the fires of Mt.
Doom, the power of Sauron and the Nazgul was finally broken.
What happens to the Nazgul?
The nine Nazgul, also known as the Ringwraiths, were once men who were corrupted by Sauron when they accepted rings from him as a gift. These rings granted them near-immortality, as well as power and the ability to sense the ring of power, the One Ring.
At the end of J. R. R Tolkien’s novel The Return of the King, the Nazgul are killed in the Battle of the Black Gate.
When the forces of Mordor confront Aragorn’s army, the Nazgul leader, the Witch-king, tries to break the Gates of Minas Tirith by force. However, he is defeated by Gandalf, who uses his staff to break the Witch-king’s power.
The Nazgul then flee, but they are pursued by the Four Riders of Rohan. In the end, they are all killed by the Riders of Rohan.
In the films, the fate of the Nazgul is slightly different. When the Ring is destroyed, the power of the dark lord Sauron is broken and the Nazgul fly away in terror, never to be seen again. It is assumed that, without Sauron’s power, the Nazgul have lost their near-immortality and have returned to the fate of normal men.
In conclusion, the fate of the Nazgul is ultimately determined by the power of Lord Sauron, who is defeated during the Battle of the Black Gate and the Destruction of the One Ring. Without their master’s power and the influence of the Ring of Power, the Nazgul are forever defeated and ultimately destroyed.
Who killed the Ringwraith?
The Ringwraiths, also known as the Nazgûl, were servants of Sauron in J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy world of Middle-earth. They were nine powerful men who had each taken one of the nine Rings of Power and subsequently been enslaved by Sauron’s will.
The Ringwraiths were eventually killed at the end of the Third Age of Middle-earth. The Witch-king of Angmar was the first of the Nine to be destroyed, at the hands of Éowyn and Merry at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
Aragorn then led the remaining eight Ringwraiths to the Slag Hills in Mordor, and there the eight of them were destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom when the One Ring was cast back into it.
Why can’t the Nazgul go in water?
The Nazgul are also known as Ringwraiths, or the Nine Servants of Sauron. These characters were human kings allied with Sauron who were given nine Rings of Power, rendering them undead and practically impervious to all attack.
Since they are of Sauron’s creating, they are loath to go near water because it seems to sap the very life force out of them. In the Lord of the Rings trilogy it is explained that the mass of water appears to be repellent to the Ringwraiths and therefore their mounts are unable to cross it.
This is because when the Rings were forged, the power of the water slayed all but the Witch King and thus the fear of it has been instilled into the other Ringwraiths. As a result, they seem to be unable to go past it and a few even tremble when they get close.
This inability extends so far that it prevents them from going through the mines that exist beneath Moria as well.
Who has the 9 Rings of Power?
The 9 Rings of Power were created by the Dark Lord Sauron during the Second Age in Middle-Earth. Each ring was entrusted to a different race of beings to be their guide in their dominance of the world.
The nine rings given to mortal kind were given to the dwarves, men, and elves.
The Ring of Durin was given to the Dwarves; seven of the Dwarf-lords used the rings throughout the Third Age, while the eighth ring was lost by its bearer. Gimli, son of Gloin, was the last known bearer of the Ring of Durin.
The Ring of Barahir was given to Men. It was passed down to the kings of Arnor, and eventually to Aragorn II. Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell, discovered the true name of the Ring of Barahir and it was passed on to Aragorn.
The Three Elven Rings of Power were given to the elves of Middle-Earth: Vilya, Nenya, and Narya. Elrond had Vilya, while Galadriel had Nenya and Gandalf had Narya. They were used to build and maintain the power of the wise and the great kingdoms in Middle-Earth.
Sauron eventually created the One Ring to rule them all and used it to enslave the nine Ring Bearers. In the end, the One Ring was destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom, freeing the Bearers from Sauron’s power and ending the War of the Ring.
Do the Ringwraiths still have their Rings?
No, the Ringwraiths (also known as the Nazgûl) do not still have their rings. The Nine Rings were originally made by the Dark Lord Sauron during the Second Age of Middle-earth. Sauron gave these Rings to the rulers of nine separate countries, who became ensnared by their destructive power and subsequently became the Ringwraiths.
In the end, Sauron was defeated by the forces of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men at the end of the Second Age. During the ensuing Years of the Sun, the Ringwraiths, still in the form of Wraiths, searched for the One Ring in order to restore Sauron to power.
In the end, all of the Nine Rings were destroyed by the destruction of the One Ring. The destruction of the One Ring caused the remaining eight to lose their power and fade away. Thus, the Ringwraiths no longer have their Rings.
Is the stranger Gandalf or Sauron?
No, the stranger is neither Gandalf nor Sauron. Gandalf and Sauron are characters from J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings books and films. Gandalf is a wise wizard, while Sauron is an evil Maia spirit and the primary antagonist of the books and films.
The stranger could be anyone else, such as one of the characters that accompany Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring on their quest to destroy the One Ring and defeat Sauron. It could also be a character that has not yet been introduced in the stories.
