My new book, Tolkien's Tragedy, is now available for PRE-ORDER! Visit TrueMythsPress.com to learn more!

In this episode, we’ll explore the events attributed to the year 2251 of the Second Age.
Included among these events is the origin and rise of the Ring-wraiths, Sauron’s notorious NINE!
We’ll see how the increasing Númenorean anxiety towards death served to create a spiritual environment that led to the seduction and “creation” of the Nazgûl.
