This evil and ancient sword is wielded by the Witchking, leader of the nine Ringwraiths, the indestructible and relentless shadow servants of Sauron. They were once mortal kings of men that Sauron corrupted with his Ring of Power. Also called Dark Riders of the Nazgul, they can sense when the One Ring is near and can see the Ringbearer clearly when he puts it on. The Witchking's sword was built by armourers of the dark land of Mordor, under the command of their evil master Sauron.
The Witchking sword was probably built by armourers of the Black land (Mordor) under the command in the Third Age. The Witchking of Morgul, a Ringwaith, carries this sword with him as he searches for Frodo in the "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."
