Here follow the accounts of the Witch-King of Angmar, Lord of the Nazgûl and ruler of the Realm of Angmar:

Unknown date, TA 1300:

And so, we rise again. I rode with three of my comrades North to establish Angmar. Meanwhile, Khamûl is leading the others South towards Mordor, where our master regains his strength. Work has begun on our new stronghold of Carn Dûm, from where I will impress my power over my dominion. Ere he departed, Khamûl informed me of our proposed site's close proximity to Mount Gundabad. As much as those filthy orcs disgust me, they may yet be of use to us. With their aid, I will crush the accursed Dunedain. It shall not be a difficult task, as their kingdom of Arnor is no longer united. The whole of Middle-Earth will tremble in fear at our screams. We have returned, and the Shadow of the East will cover all the free peoples of the world.


A/N:

Hello again, my readers. So the story behind this is, during my junior year, I took a class on The Lord of the Rings, and one of the projects we had to do was to create a journal from the point of view of one of the characters. So I, being a ringwraith aficionado, chose to do it from the point of view of the Witch-King. It wasn't easy, given that I had to go beyond the books and movies for his earlier entries. I ended up watching gameplay for The Rise of the Witch-King and reading , a perfect reference website for LOTR fans, spanning book and movie. Currently, I'm adding the entries I completed for the project. I may add additional entries if I have the time and if this receives enough good feedback.

Be warned, if you aren't familiar with the LOTR world beyond the movies, this may be a bit confusing. Basically, the reason the Witch-King is known as "The Witch-King of Angmar" is because some time before the events of the book/movie, he ruled a kingdom far up north known as Angmar (I believe Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond reference it at several points in the first two Hobbit movies). If you wish to read more about Angmar, you can find information on it here:

Sidenote #1: TA refers to the Third Age, which encompasses the events that occur in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Sidenote #2: Khamul is quite possibly the only Nazgul besides the Witch-King whose name is revealed in Tolkien's works. From what information I could glean about him, he serves as the Witch-King's second-in-command and hails from the East in the vast lands of Rhun, the home of the Easterlings.

And, so, my readers, as Gandalf once said, "May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks," and R&R.
