This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Rings of Power - The Nine Q4A is a GeoWood Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

Later in the Second Age, Sauron gave the Nine to powerful men, "kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old". Only two of the bearers of the nine rings are identified individually. Their leader would later become the Witch-king of Angmar, and his second in command was named Khamûl, an Easterling. Khamûl was the only one to be named. Three of the Nine were Númenórean. All Nine would fall under the rings' domination, and they became the Nazgûl (Ringwraiths): spirits of terror whom Sauron could command even without the One. Their lives were extended indefinitely by the rings, and they became Sauron's chief servants, especially during the first part of the Third Age when he was too weak to act on his own behalf.

Any of these Rings of Power seemed to render a man who wore it invisible. The Nazgûl could not be seen directly by mortal eyes, but wore dark cloaks to give themselves form. Frodo saw their true form when he put on the One Ring on Weathertop.

It is not clear whether the Nazgûl continued to wear their rings. Tolkien says both "the Nine the Nazgûl keep" and that Sauron had gathered the Nine to himself, though in the latter case his meaning may be metaphorical. When the Nazgûl are destroyed, no mention is made of their rings.
