: : Have they survived the fiery end of the One Ring, would they have lingered on? Or with the One Ring destroyed, would the sorcery that kept undead forms falter and they would wither away without Sauron?

: : I would say that end of the one would indirectly defeat them in that, the nine would falter, just as the three, and the nine rings were what gave them their "substance"

I was under the impression that the Nazgul were not wearing the rings. Their "substance" seems to have been due to whatever spell Sauron had on them. With Sauron's fall and the destruction of the Ring, the Nazgul were at the very least released from their bondage, and I suspect withered away or just evaporated into the nothingness that they already were.

I've recently moved and my books are still packed, so I can't check anything out to make certain. How frustrating to be without my Tolkien!
