Nazgul in RoP?

[Odola]

I've just noticed that the Rings for Men were just made in the series, and Isildur is already an adult (he was 46 when Tar-Míriel became Queen in the original texts).
This means the Battle of the Last Alliance is at most only 186 years away, probably much sooner.

We know it took centuries to change the human kings into Nazgûl, and the Nazgûl were already established wraiths at the time of the Battle of the Last Alliance.
But we have only about 150 years left in the story for this process to take place!

Will that be enough? Or will we see still-human Nazgûl at that battle? What do you think?

 

[No One in Particular]

They're playing very fast and loose with the time scale already. Speeding the transformation is not only possible but I would expect it at this point.

What would the consequences be for the story? We need 9 prominent humans from several human kingdoms. Beyond Numenor we have not really seen human realms. Southlands was just some few hamlets. Rhun jad just some disowned desert raiders. So where they will take the kings, rulers and leaders from to get "instant Nazgul"?

I hope RoP are not going to show the Nazgul, they are already rushing the story way too much.
They have already shown Barrow-Wights anyway, and instead of Ring-Wraiths I would love to see more lore on the Barrow-Wights. **fingers-crossed**

Also those 9 men with their respective 9 rings of power are far more interesting when alive then after their demise anyways.
What is the difference between a Wraith and a Wight by the way?
Wraith is a more vengeful spirit (wrath) and Wight is less so (plus it rhymes well with the word 'night')? 😕

But how to show "lore on the Barrow-Wights" when they should not have any yet at all, as the Witch-king who conjured them. In the first place was one of the Nazgul? Whatever "lore" RoP would invent would automatically go against the original lore, so doubt RoP will bother to extrapolate on it.

I see, so Ring-Wraiths can create Barrow-Wights, but not the other way around?

according to the lore - still it it was not "creation" per se, more a "calling them down into the dead bones"...
