Witch King > Lich King

[darnunt]

@lotrohelp No. According to the game's lore Mordirith is Earnur, the last king of Gondor. For more information about Earnur visit Tolkiengateway, Encyclopedia of Arda, Wikipedia etc. He and the Witch King are totally different characters!

@Vojvoda1806 Read the god damn books and see everything the WK did before comparing it to a character from "just a game"...Witch King would just destroy him.

@Sh4d0wKat Also, he has a morning star in the movie, but I said maces because he wields a mace in the book.

[SupaChard89]

@Sh4d0wKat Thank you. I read The Hobbit + the trilogy every year and I've read The Silmarillion several times. I have of course seen the movies and own the extended cuts of each and I've played all the games. I've learned how to read Quenya. I know what I'm talking about is all I'm saying.

[Sh4d0wKat]

@SupaChard89 Ok. I see what you were saying. I apologize if I offended you, as that was not my intention.

[SupaChard89]

@Sh4d0wKat Don't you even try to school me on this. First of all, ignore the movies. Secondly, I was responding to what you were saying where you were only referring to the Witch-King and the Lich King. Now you've misinterpreted my literal reaction to your own writing and have tried to make me look like a fool. However, it is actually I who knows what he's talking about while you seem lost.

@ThePendrag0n If you are going by the D&D definition, yes. But "lich" can be used to refer to any undead sorcerer and before D&D had been used as a cover-all term for undead in general. The Nazgul were undead, and possessed sorcerous powers, so it's understandable they are sometimes referred to as liches. The still had forms, but they were invisible to mortals except those wearing a ring, so all they got from Sauron were new cloaks and the Fell Beasts.
