| | The Nazgûl were sent to the [[Shire (Middle-earth)|Shire]] to find the [[One Ring (Middle-earth)|One Ring]]. They went as riders, wearing dark cloaks to hide their nothingness. They arrived in Hobbiton just as [[Frodo Baggins]] and his companions had set out, and continued to pursue him until his arrival in Crickhollow, Buckland, where they lost him. They took up the search again in [[Bree (Middle-earth)|Bree]], following [[Aragorn]] and the hobbits until [[Weathertop]]. There they attacked the group, managing to wound Frodo with a Morgul-blade but being forced to retreat. They kept following until the Ford of [[Bruinen]], where they were swept away by the river, called by [[Elrond]]. The Nazgûl were unharmed themselves, but their mortal horses drowned, delaying their search for a time. They later reappeared riding great winged creatures, called "fell beasts"; appearing as such they were also called '''Winged Nazgûl'''. The Witch-king of Angmar was present at the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]], where he was killed by [[Éowyn]] and the hobbit [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]]. The remaining eight Nazgûl perished when they flew into the fire of the erupting [[Mount Doom]]. | | The Nazgûl were sent to the [[Shire (Middle-earth)|Shire]] to find the [[One Ring (Middle-earth)|One Ring]].
