Rings of Power Just Changed the Nazgul in 1 Terrifying Way: ‘They Still Have a Human Side’

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 sees Sauron begin to recruit the nine lieutenants that will one day become the Nazgûl, or Ringraiths. While details in J.R.R. Tolkien’s lore are a bit scarce when it comes to the gradual transformation of the Ringwraiths, Rings of Power initially presents the rings as miraculous gifts that transform the Men who wear them into Nazgnagôl, or "Ring-servants.” Rather than immediately enslaving their wearers, Sauron's rings heal their injuries, cure terrible afflictions, and grant them extraordinary power.
