Talk:Black Rider

From WoWWiki

Do the Nazgul actually use the Palantir to communicate with Sauron? I've never read anything about this - most were destroyed and Saruman and Denethor each had one. Marlinspike 16:15, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the wording is rather confusing. No, the Ringwraiths never used a Palantir. Nevertheless, the stones used by the WoW Black Riders are a combined reference to both the Palantirs used by other characters in the Lord of the Rings; and the powerful psychic bond between the Riders, their master and the Ring (or in WoW's case, the Scythe of Elune). --V - Talk / Spam 11:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

What was that thing one of the Hobbits found Gandalf said in the movie was an eye of Sarumen (or Saruman)?   Mr.X8 Talk Contribs 05:02, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Further Similiarites

If the WoW Black Riders are emulations of Nazgûl, you could say Karazhan is Barad Dûr, and the Tower of Ilgalar is Orthanc, while Morganth is Saruman. It is even said that Morganth betrayed his group of three wizards and that he wants the Scythe for himself. This could be referencing Saruman betraying the White Council, and him secretly desiring to take the ring for himself, rather than turning it over to Sauron. ;)
