Middle-earth March - Day 24
Beware, today’s post is spooky! The topic for today’s Middle-earth March contribution suggested by @tolkientribe is “Minas Morgul: The Witch King”. This little fella lives in our Tolkien bookshelves and scares away people who would do harm to our books! So, he is a tolerated roommate of ours. In the books where he comes from originally, he is quite intimidating though – and we wouldn’t want to be in Frodo’s place when he had to face him at Weathertop!

“Fornost”

“[…]Fornost, also known fully as Fornost Erain(Sindarin ‘Northern fortress of the Kings’ from for(n) (north) + ost(fortress);Norbury of the Kings or simply NorburyinWestron), was a city in Eriador of the kingdom of Arnor. It was located at the south end of the North Downs, about 100 Númenórean miles north of Bree. It was eventually abandoned and fell into ruin, and became popularly known as Deadmen’s Dike. At the time of the events of The Lord of the Rings(TA 3018–3019), Fornost had been abandoned for about a thousand years, and “even the ruins of Kings’ Norbury were covered with grass.” […]”

ANGMAR - Morte Blanche

As a Nazgûl, the Witch King had a wide arsenal of powers. Besides from the common Black Breath any weapon that struck the Witch-King would be destroyed (a fate shared by Meriadoc Brandybuck’s and Éowyn’s swords), and its bearer would be poisoned. The Witch-King was also a feared sorcerer, having powers over the physical world, breaking Frodo’s sword with just a move of his hand, or weakening the Gates of Minas Tirith allowing the Grond to break them. He was stronger at night time. His power fluctuated over the centuries, with the two peaks of his power being during his campaign against Arnor and in his final battle at Minas Tirith.
