If you have read the epic novels written by J.R.R. Tolkien, then you must be familiar with the quest of the dark lord Sauron to find the one ring.
In order to complete his quest, he sent out nine riders. These nine riders were on black horses to Shire and return to Mordor before the war of the ring.
The Nazgul were mortal men and great lords from the Númenórean race for whom Sauron created the nine rings. The nine Nazgul later transform into fell riders who attacked Frodo for the ring while he was going for the Bucklebury Ferry to reach the Prancing Pony at Bree. These great lords then attacked Frodo at the Weathertop where he was saved by Aragorn.
Later, to get the ring, Sauron decided to attack Gondor directly, where the Witch King of Angmar led Sauron's forces in the war of the ring. The witch-king is killed separately during the war, while the other eight Nazgûl died separately. Finally, Sauron is also destroyed after the One Ring ends up in the fires of Mount Doom.
If you are a fan of Peter Jackson's on-screen adaptation of Tolkien's greatest story, then the information on the nine Nazgul names will certainly intrigue you. Read on to know more about the Witch-King of Angmar, and the other fell riders from 'Lord of the Rings'.
