: My memory is failing, but didn't Eowen call the Lord of the Nazgul "Dwimmerlake" or something of that nature (right before she splattered him across the battlefield). Darnit, I don't have a copy handy. But does anyone know where she got that from? : : As we seem to be on the topic of the ringwraiths, I'm intrigued to know about there origins. As it's stated a few of them were Black Numenoreans corrupted by Sauron. But what of the others I know Khamul of Dol Guldur is called the shadow of the east as he used to be a cheiftan from the eastmen but what of the others did tolkien ever state what there origins were. : : Fingolfin : The quote is "Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace." As dwimmerlaik is not capitalized, it obviously is not a name and I haven't found other references ina cursory data-base search. Does anybody else know? :: Hama
