The Witch-King's rise to power occurred during the Third Age of Middle-earth. It began with the forging of the Rings of Power by the elven-smiths under the guidance of the Dark Lord Sauron. Sauron deceived the elves and tricked them into creating the Rings, with the intent of using them to control and dominate the rulers of Middle-earth.

However, the elven-smiths sensed Sauron's malevolent intentions and withheld three rings from him. These rings were later given to the races of Middle-earth: the Dwarves, the Elves, and the Men. The Witch-King, then a powerful human king named Lord of Angmar, received one of these rings. Over time, the power of the Rings corrupted their bearers. The Witch-King and the other Ringwraiths gradually succumbed to the will of Sauron, becoming his loyal servants. The Witch-King became the leader of the Nine Ringwraiths and Sauron's most trusted lieutenant. With Sauron's guidance, the Witch-King established the realm of Angmar in the icy, desolate lands of the North. From there, he launched countless attacks on the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, particularly the kingdom of Arnor. The Witch-King's goal was to weaken and ultimately destroy the line of the High Kings of Arnor, who were descended from the ancient line of Isildur. During the War of the Ring, the Witch-King led the forces of Sauron against the kingdoms of Gondor and Rohan. He played a key role in the Siege of Minas Tirith, leading the assault on the city and almost succeeded in overthrowing its defenses. However, he was eventually defeated by Éowyn, a shieldmaiden of Rohan, and Merry, a hobbit, fulfilling the prophecy that "no living man can kill him." The fall of the Witch-King marked a turning point in the War of the Ring and the ultimate defeat of Sauron. Yet, the Witch-King's reign of terror and his rise to power remain a dark chapter in the history of Middle-earth. His name is forever associated with fear and darkness, testifying to his lasting impact on the world of Tolkien's creation..
Reviews for "The Witch-King's Nazgul: The True Terror of Mordor"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the expansion pack "Rize of the witch king" for Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II. The campaign was just too short and lacked depth compared to the original game. The new faction, Angmar, felt unbalanced and underdeveloped, making it difficult to fully enjoy playing as them. Overall, it felt like a rushed addition to the game and didn't live up to my expectations.
2. Emily - 3/5 - As a fan of the Lord of the Rings franchise, I was excited to play "Rize of the witch king," but unfortunately, it fell short for me. While the graphics and overall gameplay were decent, I found the storyline to be lacking and the missions repetitive. Additionally, the new hero units introduced in this expansion pack felt unbalanced and often overpowered, which took away from the strategic elements of the game. Overall, it was an underwhelming addition to an otherwise enjoyable game.
3. Michael - 2/5 - "Rize of the witch king" was a letdown for me. The new faction, Angmar, felt uninspired and didn't bring anything innovative to the game. The campaign missions were tedious, and the overall pacing felt off. Additionally, the AI in this expansion pack was frustratingly difficult to beat, making the game more frustrating than fun to play. I was hoping for a more satisfying addition to the Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II, but this expansion just didn't deliver.
