That is awesome
That is awesome
This reminds me of the Blind Guardian song "Into the Storm" which is part of their album called 'Nightfall in Middle Earth'. Its a masterpiece if you're into power metal.
All that went through me head "GIVE IT TO ME I MUST HAVE IT " Blind Guardian is so much fun
But we all know Bard's Song: In the Forest is the masterpiecest masterpiece. ;P
WE ARE FOLLOWING THE WILL OF THE ONE!
Oh fuck yea. Nailed it.
I like it
Is this Morgomir?
No ones really sure
Yeah lieutenant to the witchking
In BFMEII yes. In cannon no
He was my fav hero for Angmar online hahah, loved that game still play it every now and then
I thought it was Gothmog
/s
Lmfao
The Balrog not the Orc.
The helmet in the drawing looks very Balrog-esque. Doesn’t look Nazgûl-like at all to me.
Looks like he’s in Angband not Angmar though.
Gothmog was the High Captain of Angband, one of Morgoth's most trusted generals, leading the Dark Lord's forces to victory in countless battles

BFME: ROTWK nostalgia anyone?
The head reminds me of Excaliburs helmet from warframe
This is so cool. I feel like I could do this but I also feel like I am wrong.

Awesome! My guess is he's either the Witch-King or Khamul the Easterling
Cool. That looks slightly Bakshi inspired.
angmar carn dûm morgoth fantin
Omg, that is amazing. It's Sauron, right? Morgoth wouldn't be the lieutenant.
Sauron was the Lieutenant of Angband. Morgoth's stronghold in the north of Beleriand. Angmar was the realm of the Witch King from which he prosecuted his war against Arnor.
Ah, right! Thanks! I am reading The Silmarillion (first Tolkien book I've read), so I guess I got it mixed up with Angband.
You're starting with The Silmarillion?? Bold choice, I respect it
Haha, yeah. Thanks. I've been a fan of the movies for so long, that I thought maybe I'd start with new material and also, if I read things chronologically, I'll have something to reference later on.
I've read the Silmarillion 2-3 times, the unfinished tales, and children of Hurin but now that I think of it the only time I heard the main trilogy is when my mom read it to me as a child
You should try the audiobooks, it's like being read and sang to by a kind uncle
If I ever read them for myself I should probably be the one reading because when I listen to fantasy books on tape and when my mom used to read to me I'd get lost in my imagination and forget what was going on
True, I did have trouble with all of the names and proper nouns that could be hard to understand without the text. That's why I actually prefer Audible's whispersync feature, which basically combines the best of both worlds. You get the text as well and are helped to follow along. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the classic method of reading yourself if you have the musical sense to keep up with the songs (I do not).
That was sauron rigt
Sauron was Angband,
I think it was Morgomir (another of the Nazgul), but the title is kinda confusing given the the Witch-King was Sauron's lieutenant and Morgomir was Lieutenant of Carn Dum, the seat of power in Angmar.
Isn't Morgomir from a video game? I don't think that is from Tolkien.
Oh you might be right. It's been a while since I've read the Silmarillion and I could've minced the two.
Yeah, the only named Nazgul in Tolkien's writings is Khamul.
I'm guessing he's from MERP or LotRO.
It is the witch king
Gorgeous artwork. Saved!
I didn't know Morgimir was so big
It is most likely Gothmog. He is called the lieutenant of Minas Morgul. In the book he is not described in any way, the movies made him an orc, but he literally could be anything, even a Nazgul or a black numenorian (the men of nomenorian descent were much bigger than normal humans). It could also be the witch-king of Angmar, since he is Saurons Lieutenant, he would be "the lieutenant of/from Angmar". Morgomir is not canon, as are any other named Nazgul. The only canon of the nine that we know anything of is the Witch-King and Khamul the easterling. Yes I know, I reply to a 2 year old comment, but it's never to late to learn something
