You forgot to mention that the dagger Merry stabs the Witch King with was a magical Arthedainian weapon. The Witch King was killed by a hobbit, a shield maiden AND an ancient Dunedain weapon potentially as powerful as Sting.

It almost seems like The Witch King had a grudge against the numenorean line of kings - almost like he resented not being able to hold their position.

Tolkien is SUCH a masterful writer. Nobody has ever touched his work.

I absolutely love the Nazgûl and the Witch King. They’re probably the characters in Tolkien that I know the most about and I always get excited when they come up in conversation. That being said, your ending to this video relating the Shire to Rohan and tying all the strings together blew my mind!! I had NEVER put that together and it is so awesome! Thank you!!😱

Everything Tolkien writes has the power of being so satisfactory. From the great glories of ages past, to their eventual downfalls only to be saved by the unlikeliest of friends, and the more backstory you know, the more those moments have an impact. At the end of the day, Éowyn and Merry's combined action and Aragorn's coronation have 1% of the weight without this backstory. LOTR just a satisfactory ending to it all.

I will never get tired of hearing about Middle Earth. Every detail is fascinating and to think that ONE amazing man created it all. Wow.
30 |
I never made the connection of the Dunedain's allies avenging the death of their kings by the Witch King. Cool.

The part where it all comes full circle at the end actually gave me chills lol

There's something quite satisfying about the fact the nature of the threat changes proportionately with each age, from (like you said) Valar to Maiar to possible Numenorean. I also like how it seems to match their opposition in these ages, which I suppose could be broadly grouped into elves (first age), elves/numenoreans (second age) and men (third age.) Thanks though, have had lots of question about this period, glad to see them engaged with!

Much of the details I knew, but it was the links between the details that made it so very fascinating. For instance Merry is the heir of the Master of Buckland. This and the Thain of the Tooks were the closest to noble/royal offices of hereditary descent in the Shire. Thus the Witch-King was killed by the next closest thing to kings that Rohan and the Shire had. Further Pippin, as the heir of the Thain, is both the inspiration for the battle that draws the Nazgul Lord to his demise, but is directly responsible for preserving the line of the Stewards so that they could fulfill at the very last their sacred trust. Without it being said, there are also the concerted efforts of Frodo, Sam, and Gollum as further representatives of the Hobbits who unseat the Dark Lord himself who had for two ages overlooked the future allies of his greatest foes. Did not Galdalf rightly say that the Shire was a center of Power, though of a different type than men, elves, and dwarves considered, and is it also then of no surprise that a Gardner such as Tom Bombadil would choose to live so near a land given to such a pastoral lifestyle?

It's interesting to note that the force that Gondor had sent north to deal with the Witch-king under Eärnur, the same one that filled the Grey Havens, Forlond and Harlond, and was considered by the Men and Elves of Eriador to be a massive army intended for a war between great kingdoms, was considered to be a small force by Gondor's standards, a mere fraction of Gondor's power. Which just goes to show how powerful Gondor was (even after centuries of decline) and how low Arnor had fallen at that point.

I just finished reading Fellowship of the Ring for the first time and it really strike me how the Black Riders are the principal agents of Sauron. All through the lands of Arnor, we see ruins of a once-great civilization, and the folk there, human and hobbit, pay it little attention. It is like they don't see that they are living in a graveyard, one largely engineered by the Witch King. It really makes me wonder what the Witch King's relationship with Sauron was like. Obviously, he was a servant of Sauron, but I kind of wonder if Sauron saw the Witch King as his strong right hand or if he disrespected the Witch King.

King Earnur & his knightly escort I suspect were Shelob’s last meal of “sweeter meats” in the 3rd age.

I've only become aware of your channel a few days ago. I've subscribed and set up for all notifications. I have to say, you can sure tell the story, thanks!

These videos are just perfect, I find myself rewatching them over and over

The way you narrate is great! Thank you for your work!
2 |
You put that narrative together quite well. Thx.

I love that battle for middle earth rise of the witch king tells this story in a somewhat true to the source fashion. One of my favourite single player campaigns.

Dude! Loving this. Been a fan Tolkien for over 40 years. Keep it coming awesome.

Another thread from Arnor in the Witch King's death at Pellenor is that Merry's blade came from the Barrow-Downs (gathered and recognized, then given by Tom Bombadil upon freeing the Hobbits from the Great Barrow). The blade was Westernesse and was specifically crafted to combat the Witch King and his minions! It is the wound from Merry that temporarily incapacitates the Witch King enabling Eowyn's final blow.
