This evil and ancient sword is wielded by the Witchking, leader of the nine Ringwraiths, the indestructible and relentless shadow servants of Sauron. They were once mortal kings of men that Sauron corrupted with his Ring of Power. Also called Dark Riders or the Nazgul, they can sense when the One Ring is near and can see the Ringbearer clearly when he puts it on.

The Witchking's sword was built by armourers of the dark land of Mordor, under the command of their evil master Sauron.

Tolkien's phenomenal epic trilogy chronicles the struggle between good and evil for possession of a magical ring. The book trilogy, named the most popular book of the 20th Century, is the motion picture event of the 21st Century. "The Lord of the Rings" is presented in a trilogy of feature films from New Line Cinema, beginning with the blockbuster "The Fellowship of the Ring," and continuing with the 2nd film, "The Two Towers," released December 2002.

A work of sheer invention on a staggering scale, "The Lord of the Rings" takes us back to "Middle-Earth," an era that predates written history, where humans share the world with immortal elves, powerful wizards, and industrious dwarves.
