Nazgul vs Dunedain [In reply to] Can't Post

Sauron used the Nazgul against Numenor, but it appears that Numenor was generally too strong to be overcome by then. The Tale of Years lists their first appearance at 2251. A thousand years later, Sauron was taken prisoner by Numenor without even a fight since Numenor's forces were so much greater than his own, with or without the Nazgul.

The Witch-King of Angmar was the #1 Nazgul, and he caused the destruction of the Dunedain kingdom of Arnor. Later the Nazgul led the siege that resulted in the capture of Minas Ithil; my guess is they used fear to help demoralize the defenders and any help sent from the rest of Gondor, though fear alone wouldn't have been enough.

    For some people and in specific situations, fleeing from a Nazgul is absolutely the right and best thing to do. Escapist Send a private message to Escapist Feb 5 2013, 4:50pm
