Another Tolkien entry.

An enjoyable part of your Tolkien series

Is it worth mentioning that though Dwarves are indeed mortal, they have a much longer lifespan than mortal men (baring illness and injury)?

Obiwan Kenobi should be Obi-Wan Kenobi

Oh, and there's a 'Nazgû' missing an l.

Have you considered links to such articles as:

A very detailed account. I was wondering if it would be worth indicating where all this detail comes from - is it mostly from the footnotes and back-story within The Lord of the Rings, or is some of it detailed in The Hobbit and The Silmarillion?

I think this reads like a very good Entry.

I can't remember ever reading a lot about the Nazgul, so I can't give any suggestions at the moment, I'm afraid.

Bluebottle, I've dealt with those points. There's no specific link between this entry and The Silmarillion so I haven't added a link to it.

Alex, I've added the following to the first paragraph:

The information in this entry is mainly gleaned from the text and appendices of The Lord of the Rings, with some additional information from Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, which was published after Tolkien's death.

I've had another read through and have nothing further to add.

The Nazgul in the animated version of the film gave me nightmares throughout my childhood.

Later on, they kept killing me no matter what I did whenever I played the 'Lord of the Rings' text adventure game on my Spectrum. That game came on at least 4 cassettes, but as I never survived getting out of the Shire I never got to load the other 7 sides...
