Lord of Angmar has just left Hobbiton.

Also, Merry broke the magic spell binding his unseen sinews
I think this is the most important aspect of the Witch King's death, since he did not have a physical 'face' that could be wounded by any normal blade. Had Merry not broken the 'spell' that protected the Witch King, the facial wound would have been meaningless.

The blade Merry wielded was one of Westernesse, presumably used by a man of Arnor in the Northern Realm's wars against Angmar. Since the Witch King was once Lord of Angmar (my namesake [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] ), the blade of Westernesse was a perfect weapon for Merry against the Lord of the Nazgul.

There have been a number of topics on this matter, rudeboy, but I felt a brief and simple summary would do rather than redirecting you to an old and finished thread. This duplicate thread will probably be closed.
