He reappeared in the Second Age when, wearing a fair guise and uttering crafty words, he seduced the Elves of Eregion and convinced them to help him create the Rings of Power. After Morgoth was defeated in the War of Wrath, Sauron hid for many centuries. However, Shelob was able to escape and relocate herself elsewhere which makes one wonder, did any of the giant spiders resettle? One shudders at the thought.Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor, was a powerful spirit seduced by Morgoth, the first manifestation of evil. The good news from all this, however, is that the ancient cursed land sank beneath the waves after the end of the 1st Age. Beren refused to talk about his experiences in Nun Dungortheb, and he had already witnessed great tragedy in his own life. The only known survivor to have traversed through the region was Beren, the legendary hero of the first age. For context, even Mordor had drinkable water when Sam and Frodo passed through that perilous land. The waters that came from the region were so foul that any who drank from them would experience dark thoughts and even go insane. It is said that the spiders wove webs so black and thick that light was blocked out, that even travelers in nearby areas would easily get lost for they couldn’t see anything. There, Ungoliant bred with the local spiders in the region, creating a new brood of powerful and dark creatures, which included Shelob. Known as the Valley of Dreadful Death, Nan Dungortheb was the region Ungoliant fled to after her confrontation against Morgoth. ![]() Though most fans would name Mordor, the Dead Marshes, or Mordor to be the most terrifying places in Middle-earth, those pale in comparison to the region known as Nan Dungortheb. It is said that she became so hungry that she eventually devoured herself. Ungoliant, unable to take on both the Balrogs and Morgoth, fled to a region known as Nan Dungortheb where she bred with giant spiders there and established a domain of darkness. ![]() Imagine that, a dark lord and the prime evil of that era had to call for his elite lieutenants to save himself, one shudders to think what she'd be like in the Lord of the Rings. She single-handedly defeated Morgoth and was only saved when he screamed for his Balrogs to reinforce him. At some point, both dark entities betrayed one another, but it was Ungoliant who proved victorious. If one could imagine a black hole in the form of a creature, it would be Ungoliant.Īlongside Morgoth, the Dark Lord of the First Age, she destroyed the 2 trees of Valinor and fled to Middle-earth with the remaining 3 Silmarils. She was so evil that she hated light itself and would devour it wherever she could. Perhaps the most powerful and terrifying of creatures ever to come from Tolkien’s imagination, Ungoliant is a malevolent spirit that took the form of a giant spider. Though most victims would remain unconscious, those that did awake would be powerless to move or fight back, as one would simply have to wait for death. The wights would paralyze unsuspecting travelers and take them back to their holdings, dressing their captives in white robes and jewels to prepare them for ritual sacrifice. These wights, adorned in their faded jewelry, patrolled their ancient crypts and were known to hunt those trespassed into their lands. The spirits were kept there to ensure that those lands would never be resettled by men. ![]() Barrow-wights were evil spirits serving the Witch-King that possessed the corpses of the ancient kings and queens of the ancient land of Cardolan that once belonged to the Dunedain. This is the part ( omitted in the movie) where Frodo and his hobbit companions make their way through the Barrow-downs to get to the town of Bree. Whilst not featured in the films, the Barrow-wights played a part in the books, particularly in the Fellowship of the Ring. ![]()
