Fareal I never said that the Nine were a product of the One, what I was attempting to say was that everything that Sauron did with the One was doomed once it was destroyed, one of the things he did was bind all the power of the rings into the One;

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

The Nine were bound to the One, if the Three lost their power so would the Nine, and the thing that kept the Nazgul in existance was the power of their Rings.

When you say Sauron did'nt make the Rings, are you sure?


In those days the smiths of Ost-in-Edhil surpassed all that they had contrived before; and they took thought, and they made Rings of Power. But Sauron guided their labours, and he was aware of all they did; for his desire was to set a bond upon the Elves and to bring them under his vigilance (Silm HB p287)


Therefore the Three remained unsullied, for they were forged by Celebrimbor alone, and the hand of Sauron never touched them; yet they also were subject to the One (Silm HB p288)

Seven Rings he gave to the Dwarves; but to Men he gave nine, for Men proved in this matter as in others the readiest to his will. And all the rings that he governed he perverted, the more easily since he had a part in their making (Silm HB p288)

To me this says that Sauron helped in the forging of all the Rings of Power save the Three.
