They are very hard to kill, but it is possible. Elrond uses one of the elven rings of power to sweep a group of Nazgul away with a deluge, destroying their physical bodies and sending their incorporeal essences fleeing back to Sauron. Sauron however was clearly able to return them to working order. In the third book, Eowyn and Merry together kill the Witch-king of Angmar, the lord of the Nazgul, the chief of the nine Ringwraiths, and this defeat is described as permanent.

Who are the Black Riders from 'The Lord of the Rings'?

"...Nine for mortal men doomed to die..." The Black Riders, or Ringwraiths/Nazgul in The Lord of the Rings were "great kings of men" in Middle-earth that came under Sauron's sway. Enticed by the promise of immortality, the kings eagerly accepted the Rings offered to them by Sauron, and, for a time, enjoyed seemingly everlasting life and power. Gradually, however, as their lives were stretched to far beyond their given limit, they entered into a state of "undeadness," and hated the light. The Nine rings bound them to Sauron, and they became his greatest and most feared servants. Their greatest weapon was the terror and despair they inspired in the hearts of men. Their chief was the Witch King of Angmar; a great and evil sorcerer. The Ringwraiths were destroyed when the One Ring was cast into the fires of Mount Doom.


Why is the book called The Lord of the Rings when the plot is only about one ring?

The One Ring is actually one of twenty rings of power that exist in Middle-earth, and its unique ability allows its bearer to control those who wear the other nineteen rings, making the story really about all twenty. Also, at least twelve other rings of power make an appearance in the books. The three greatest rings (that were crafted solely by Celebrimbor without Sauron's influence) are worn by Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond during the events of the story. And the nine rings given to men also show up, as they turned their hosts into the Nazgûl, or the Ringwraiths, who serve Sauron. "Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."


How many levels are there in Lego Lord of the Rings?

Three rings for Elven kings under the sky;Seven for Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone;Nine for mortal men, doomed to die;One for the dark lord on his dark throne.In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them.One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.So in total there are 20 Rings of Power!At the time of the Lord of the Rings, the elves still have their three rings and keep them in hiding (Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel bear them), the dwarf rings were all long ago destroyed by dragon fire, the rings for men are still held by the nine men that Sauron originally gave them to and they have been fully corrupted by their rings becoming the nazgul, and the one ring is in the possession of the hobbits (Bilbo, Frodo, and Samwise in succession).So at the actual time of the Lord of the Rings story only 13 Rings of Power still exist.There are 20. Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.One Ring to rule them all. One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.However at the time of the story itself only 13 remain, as the seven dwarf rings had long before been destroyed by dragon fire.
