Ring Quest III: The Nine: Ringwraiths

"Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die" refers to the fate of men, a destiny unknown to the Elves. Sauron exploited men's envy of Elven immortality, which led to the men becoming Ringwraiths. The nine rings Sauron bestowed upon the men brought them great power and wealth, made them powerful sorcerers, and appeared to give them eternal life, for they did not age. After a time however, life became unendurable, and when they put the rings on, they often beheld phantoms and delusions of Sauron. One by one, according to the nature of the man and his innate inability to resist evil, they fell under Sauron's permanent control, becoming wraiths who did only Sauron's bidding.
