One of the reasons that Sauron takes the bait when Aragorn goes to challenge him at the Black Gate, right, as Frodo and Sam are making their way to Mount Doom, is specifically because he believes Aragorn has the ring and is coming to challenge him.

Because that's what the ring bearer would do.

Right.

Yet he's still thinking that Aragorn has the ring, has his troops make the moves.

Like he's not afraid of Aragorn.

Yeah.

I don't think he's afraid of Saruman either.

So the Witch King starts to put everything together and he begins to put together a plan.

And frankly, it's a better plan than Saruman would have put together.

All right.

I remember this area.

There's a familiar place from my time as the Witch King of Angmar, the Barrowdowns.

You got to read the lovely Sindarin name, Tirngorthad.

I have to tell you, actually, the Y in Sindarin is pronounced like the U in French, I think, like U. So it's like Turin.

But then he, thankfully, for people like you and me who can't pronounce it that way, says that the men of Gondor pronounced it like they would pronounce the letter I. There we go.

Tirngorthad, yeah.

Yeah.

He is the one who brought them there.

What kind of power is this?

What kind of power does he actually have?
