Agan, I don't know if there is another Nazgul art gallery on the web, but I hope we can create one here.
Two great pictures which I have never seen before. Thanks for sending the links.

The Earnur & Angmar one has been around for a while; I hadn't seen it in some time.
I do not believe that they ever met in combat at Minas Morgul, though...I mean, why bother? Once Earnur is there, there is no reason to do anything other than keep him out of trouble, which can be accomplished with simple, clean accomodations. Earnur himself wanted to be a simple, strong warrior loving the company of men. Such needs are easily met. Minas Morgul had many palces where a simple man could be housed & fed. And while weapons practice may or may not hve been part of the routine, there is no reason to assume that the former King was idle. I'm sure many oppirtunities for recreation presented themselves. He was probably encouraged in the pursuit of physical activities, many of which were probably new & exotic for him. He probably led a long, productive life in Minas Morgul.

Hmm, I always believed that they did meet in combat when Earnur came to M.Morgul.
After all, Angmar challenged Earnur twice and would have appeared a coward if he didn't fight him fairly. I never believed that there were only orcs in Minas Morgul, there should have been Men as well, who understood such things as a loss of face.
The WK was ready to fight Earnur back in Angmar, when he was alone against an army - why would he be afraid now, especially after hearing Glorfy's prophesy "far off is his Doom and not by the hand of Men..." He risked nothing. And he hated the Man, who was the principal cause of the fall of Angmar.
What happened then? Earnur was bested, of course, but not killed - because otherwise the WK would have sent his head back to Minas Tirith. I think Angmar used his Morgul knife and Earnur started his new job as minor wraith in Angmar's service - for all eternity. ;D

You misunderstand me.
Fear is not the issue. He knew full well who would win, no matter where any duel took place. No, I think Earnut went & was simply imprisoned--with the full knowledge & consent of Gondor.

Khazar, I was able to view the first three by making a paste of the url and putting it in a new browser window. However, I couldn't get the last two.

Hmmmm. The last one is by Howe, it's a 'Flight to the Ford', and Howe's stuff is hard to link.
But the others should be OK--they're all from the same site.

Khazar, the site you gave doesn't allow direct linking. In other words, you have to send the address of the page they are on instead of the link to the image itself.
