Greetings lathspell,

* bows a greeting *

You make an excellent point when you refer to the ring wraiths.

Sauron has ever sought control over mortals with an "Eye" to destroying them through black arts with a view to death.

Long ago, few faithful remained, while many gave themselves over to the black sorcery of Sauron's temple to Melkor at Armenelos. Thus deceitful Annatar spread a morbid obsession with death throughout Numenor, making the noblest among the races of Men resentful of Iluvatar's gift such that the more they clung to life, the more life slipped away from them. Eventually, through efforts ever more frantic, unnatural, and illicit, they brought down upon themselves a very world-shattering doom, as the tales speak of in the Akallabeth.
