Ok, I know that Eowyn, with the help of Merry, kills the witch-king, but then what happens to the rest of the Nazgul? Tolkien doesn't mention any of the others being killed. I was just wondering if anyone knew what happened to the other eight Nazgul.

When the Ring was destroyed, Sauron and the Nazgūl fell with it. The ringwraiths were bound to the Ring like Sauron, and when it was destroyed, so were they.

When they were ensnared by the Nine Rings given to them by Sauron, they could not die like other mortal men, they faded away but were still bound by the Rings, eventually becoming Wraiths. When the One Ring was destroyed so were the Nine, and their bearers died.

Thank you very much. I feel enlightened.
