The King's Witch

Product Information

Gavin: When I think of the Witch-king, it’s always the scene where he fights Éowyn that sticks in my mind, and so I think I’ll have both the foot and mounted versions with the Crown of Morgul so that I can play through those scenes at home. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B, "The Great Years", entry for the year 3018, September 22, p. The Witch-king's final stand on the battlefield occurs with less dialogue than in the book, and the weapons used to defeat him are both mundane: Merry's sword is not a dagger from the Barrow-downs, but rather the Rohirric sword that Théoden had as a child. In the early versions of the story, the Witch King was planned to survive the Pelennor Fields battle and appear as the ambassador at the Black Gate instead of the Mouth of Sauron.

It is worthy of note that the Witch-king is seen with the Red Eye of Barad-dûr as his emblem and faction, rather than the grim moon of Minas Morgul. The Witch-king continued to press the men of Arthedain, laying siege to Fornost, and he might have taken over all of Arnor in that one offensive.Eärnur's host did not meet the Witch-king at Fornost Erain itself, but on the plains west of it toward Lake Evendim, near the site of the ancient capital of the High Kings of Arnor, Annúminas. Hammond and Christina Scull (eds), The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, citing from The Hunt for the Ring, pp. In TA 1409 the army of the Witch-king assaulted the fortress of Amon Sûl (Weathertop) and burned the tower, during which conflict King Arveleg I of Arthedain was killed.

Gavin: The main challenge was that the Crown of Morgul is an optional piece of wargear in the Strategy Battle Game. Andy Serkis provided the voice of the Witch-king in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The Witch-king sat silent in Carn Dûm, rebuilding his armies and preparing for a final assault on Arthedain, last of the Arnorian kingdoms. Hammond and Christina Scull (eds), The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, "Flight to the Ford", p.Like the other Nazgûl, he is depicted as a humanoid figure shrouded in a hooded black robe; his only distinguishing feature is a mask-like spiked helmet with a huge mouth.
