Now there's an interesting thought: what kind of education do they give you at Mordor? Torture 101 with Professor Khamûl. Or Metallurgy 243: The Forging of Morgul Blades, with a mandatory lab component.

Certainly a sort of biology class would be in order. Something that would explain fell beats, maybe as teens the Nazgul dissected that instead of frogs. Or Arachnology 202: Feeding Shelob.
