To reclaim all of Mordor, the Witch-king was sent by the Dark Lord to orchestrate the assault against the city of Minas Ithil.
The opposition from Talion and Celebrimbor did not go unnoticed by either the Dark Lord or the Witch-king. Driven out of his fortress in Mirkwood, Sauron and his Nazgûl returned to Mordor, hiding amidst the ruins of Barad-dûr, while the Black Captains oversaw the building of his legions. As his power grew in Dol Guldur, the "Necromancer" had the Witch-king direct the war against Gondor and Arnor, resulting in the former's destruction and the subsequent disappearance of King Eärnur. In the War of the Last Alliance they served as some of the generals of his armies, but fled after his apparent defeat.īy the time of Sauron's resurgence, some of the original Nazgûl had been replaced with other Ring-bearers who had shared their predecessors' fates. When the Dark Lord revealed himself and forged the One Ring, they were enslaved, bound for eternity to his will. Given the Rings of Power by Sauron (disguised in fair form as Annatar) which they accepted without any doubt they fell to the corruption of their gifts one by one. The first Nazgûl were once the nine great Kings of Men.
