Dorvo Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 If I remember correctly, the Nazgul is an ancient demon that lives in the Mines of Moria... from Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.... it's what took Gandalf... it had the fiery whip and sword.

lonepadawan Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 In England (You know the place where the book was written and based on ) They are called black riders or ring wraths when not called Nazgul. They were kings who Sauron gve rings to and ensnared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rúmil Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Nazgul: A word from the Black Speech, usually translated 'Ringwraith'; the name of the nine Men corrupted by the power of Sauron's Nine Rings, and transformed into his dark and deathless servants.

They were kings who Sauron gve rings to and ensnared. Tolkien specifically said he didn't base LotR on England or the surrounding provinces. Remember that he wrote it during Nazi advances; he didn't want to be remembered as a patronizer. See, most people compare WW2 to LotR. England being Westernesse, Germany being Mordor, the Nazgul being the Luftwaffe; I've heard it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorvo Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 You're right. My bad. It's been so long since I've read the books that I can't remember which proper names go with which characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Clod Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 This is what a Nazgul looks like... The robes, what a nightmare to model and animate nicely!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorvo Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Yeah, that would be a challenge to get those working right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Actually they dont look like that they look like that only because they have those robes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonepadawan Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Who says they look like that. Not me for certain. Just because they look like that in the film???? HA- I am not so easily brainwashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
