Consider the weapons forged in Arnor (Fornost). The ones obtained in the Downs. I still have some research to do on this one, however if you've read the novels 'FOTR' you'll note that WK died as a result of the stroke from one of such devices. It was a spell upon the sword which Merry wielded that made him mortal once more. A man, susceptible to the will of the ring.

Give me a couple of days to dig, and I'll have more to support this theory. However, if you have more relevant knowledge that WK was under the dominion of the master and not the ring (even though the one ring controlled the other 19), please enlighten us. I still question the validity of pure corruption remaining loyal to only one person. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
