Nogrod: why?
He would have gotten a fair share of criticism today, maybe even votes. He definitely would have hogged a lot of attention. Wraiths like that. Also, his case against Durelin was bad, so maybe he would have been listened to less toDay. Why him?
He could have believed to be Frodo, but I doubt it. The wraiths would have killed him yesterDay, then.
He could have believed to be the ranger, that is possible, but he would have been a terribly clumsy ranger.
Maybe he said something seerish, which I don't think he has. He's too smart to slip and his suspicions were terribly broad.
Maybe he was uncomfortable to the wraiths. The candidates for this would be Aganzir and me.
Maybe he was killed to set up Fea. That would be a very neat move.
Maybe he was another no-trail kill after all, because he was confused and generic, so best to kill him while he's still off track.
Maybe he was chosen because of the size of his name, combined with either because he was uncomfortable or because he was yet harmless.
Maybe he was killed to give us something to talk about and confuse us. At least that's what I enjoy doing when I'm a wolf.
Unless the wraiths really did think he was gifted, I don't think Aganzir killed him. He was not after her so strongly that she had no other choice but to, and otherwise she probably wouldn't make a kill that would point toward her like this.
Given how easily Fea gets herself lynched, there could be merit to the set-up idea. Killing Nogrod would give the wraiths an easy day. In any case: why would Fea want to kill Nogrod? She cannot be more than Ferny. Would the wraiths set up their cobbler like that, though?
