I remember reading somewhere that Sauron, not the nine Nazgul, held the 9 rings given to mortal men. with this in mind, I have a theoretical question about the Nazgul. Since they seemed to be some of the strongest servents of Sauron during the war, why didn't Sauron plan ahead by giving the nine rings out to other men that he had under his dominion back when he was the Necromancer, and in essence make some more Nazgul to help hunt for the ring? Or was it even possib;e for him to do this? And more importantly, would doing this have allowed Sauron to find the ring or retreive it earlier?
