Disguised as horse riders clad in black (hence the term Black Riders), they sought out Bilbo Baggins who, as Gollum had revealed, had the One Ring in his possession. In 3017 Sauron commanded the Ringwraiths to recover the One Ring of Power from "Baggins of the Shire". Three of the Nazgûl were sent to his fortress at Dol Guldur to garrison that outpost. īut after his defeat in Dol Guldur, Sauron returned to Mordor in 2942 and declared himself openly in 2951. ĭuring the Watchful Peace, when Sauron hid from the power of the White Council, the Nazgûl also remained hidden in Morgul Vale, allowing some peaceful time for the first Ruling Stewards of Gondor.
