Fate of the Nazgul? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hi! I was just wondering what would be the ultimate fate of the Nazgul after the destruction of the One Ring, do you think, or has Tolkien ever stated what it was.

Although it is generally accepted they were destroyed, or diminished, what would then be their fate? The Nine were orgininally kings of Men, so would they have shared the fate of Men (although we don't know what that is) or would simply have been disembodied and powerless as Sauron?

Just a thought
