If he doesn't want to shatter his soul to a billion pieces, why not 1 billion ring wraiths instead?

>>8764528
Ring wraiths were only royal blood.

Honestly as evil as the guy was made out to be, he didnt seem more evil than your average asshole conqueror. The only times he genocided/sacked was when it was useful.

Would make for a shit book desu

if you made a billion rings, that would mean there would be a billion people out there with the exact same powers as him.

Kinda defeats the purpose, huh?

LOTR was racially charged.

Orcs were literal embodiments of evil and Elves were literal embodiments of purity/good.

Orcs are elves who turned away from the light of Iluvatar out of fear and the trickery of Melkor. Technically, orcs and elves come from the same race (the Children of Iluvatar)

>reading manicheistic children's literature for the masses

I keep seeing people call thing "manichean" lately and I think it's really dumb so please stop.

This.

I read it more as a spritual thing, the Elves were closest to God.

Nazgul were the actual ringwraiths. I believe you are referring to the "fell beasts", the dragon-like creatures the Nazgul rode.
