Furthermore, Frodo does not see any Rings on them on Weathertop, and it is believed that if they did wear the Rings, they would have been fully invisible (including their cloaks). However in many other references, it is indicated that Sauron later held the Nine Rings. In The Council of Elrond, Gandalf indicates that the Nazgûl kept their Rings by saying, "The Nine the Nazgûl keep". ĭuring the end of the Third Age, Sauron had apparently reclaimed the Nine Rings to himself. They were afterwards his greatest servants, terrible to behold, known as the Nazgûl. They became part of the wraith-world, permanently invisible, and were enslaved by Sauron. They had the ability to become invisible, and their lives were extended unnaturally, until they fell at last to the power of the One Ring held by Sauron. The owners of the Nine were corrupted, amassing glory and riches, and becoming great among Men. He gave nine of them to Men, and it was said that three of those that received them were Númenórean lords, and another was from the East. They were kept in the House of the Mírdain, but all rings save the Three Elven rings were captured by Sauron when he attacked Eregion. The Nine Rings were made along with the other Rings of Power in Eregion and were forged by Elven smiths under the guidance of Sauron.
