Description
The Gloom of Nurn, is one of the Nine Nazgûl, recipient of Nitîr (Terror's Sting), one of the nine Rings of Power that were forged for Men. Originally a Númenórean king, his name is lost in time, and he is now known by the most common of his many nicknames. None can say what ship bore him hither to Middle-earth before Númenor was lost, but once he accepted Sauron's gift he could no longer be counted among the Men of that land. He dwelt in Thaurband, a fortress in southern Mordor, not far from the inland Sea. It was from that keep that the fear of him spread, giving him a new title to replace the name he no longer needed. He became the Gloom of Nurn, though he did not stay there, and roved far and wide at Sauron's command.
He is encountered several times.
The Gloom of Nurn (Second Age)
The Gloom of Nurn is first encountered by High Elf characters in the year 3434 fighting against the host of the Last Alliance during the siege on the battle plain at Dagorlad at the end of the Second Age.
