View source for Witch-king of Angmar

== Description ==
The '''Witch-king of Angmar''' was originally a great Númenórean king. In the Second Age, he received Ûri (Heart-stopper), one of the nine [[Rings of Power]] given to Men by the Dark Lord of [[Mordor]], [[Sauron]]. The Rings gave them incredible power, which they used to further their own ambitions, but eventually the Rings completely corrupted them and turned them into the ghastly [[Nazgûl]].

He founded the kingdom of [[Angmar]]. It was after the formation of Angmar, and several conflicts with the [[Dúnedain]] of the [[Arnor|North]], that the Lord of the Nazgûl became widely known as the Witch-king, Lord of Angmar, reflecting the fact that he practiced black sorcery. Because of the great havoc he wrought in the north, he became notorious among the peoples of [[Middle-earth]] as the terrible Lord of Angmar; thus, he thereafter retained his title of Witch-king, even long after he left Angmar.

In the game's introductory cutscene he is seen standing at the [[Witch King's Watch]] calling forth an army "from the depths of [[Carn Dûm|Carn Dûm]]".{{clr}}
