Aldaron said&quot;I've just started
reading UT and if this is the sort of thing I can expect to find there,
it's going to be a good reading experience. &quot;
you are in fact correct , UT is a gold mine , I actually think the writing throughout is superior to the LotR.

Gilthalion said&quot;It may be possible that they were also under orders to quietly deal
with the Shire-folk, so as to retrieve the Ring without danger of
alerting other folk, such as Rangers or Wizards or High Elves
wandering about... &quot;

In addition I think the wraiths were very unusedto being in populated towns and such and trying not to terrorize!
They may have been abit off balance because of that.

It was probably painful and disorienting for them to see and thus remember 'normal ' life before they succumbed to the dark side.
Not to mention that fate was not on the side of the Nazgul .


Lindil is often found on posting on the Silmarillion Project at the Barrowowns and working on his new discussion board<a href="http://beta.ezboard.com/bosanwekenta" >Osanwe-Kenta</a> 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>
