Big Mystery: The Nine Rings of Power - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Robert Foster in his Complete Guide to Middle-earth has the Nazgul being destroyed with their rings when the One Ring was unmade in Orodruin, this could mean the Rings wherever they lie either with Sauron or with the Nazgul, he also goes on to say that the ring worn by the Lord of the Nazgul may have been preserved, with this statement I think that he is trying to say that the Rings may have been with the Nazgul, mainly because the remaining eight Nazgul are involved with the tumults of Orodruin, whereas the Lord of the Nazgul is destroyed on the Pelennor. I do not know where his source comes from (at the moment), however I will continue to dig (for the sake of this excellent topic, thanks to Legate), what I will say is this and in the words of Christopher Tolkien himself:

'Mr Robert Foster's Complete Guide to Middle-Earth supplies, as I have found through frequent use, an admirable work of reference.'

High praise from one so learned and wise in the lore of Middle-Earth.
