I'm not sure if there are any similar threads, as I couldn't find any after a search of the archives, but bare with me.

How was Sauron able to give the Nazgul life unending (if life you can call it)? How was he able to recall the Gift of Illuvatar to Men and prolong their stays as entities within Arda? Since obviously Sauron was not powerful enough to undo the Doom of Men, how were the Nine Rings able to keep them alive and under his servitude for so long? And where did the Ringwraiths go after their master was vanquished in the War of the Ring?
