I might have missed this during my initial skim of The Darkening of Mirkwood but I do not think Morgul blades are listed under the weapons of the Nazgul. Was this omission on purpose? If so, I wonder why. Are there plans to provide rules for these weapons in the game?

P.S. Rich, I see a new fan-made addition calling out for your superb and deft skills.

Is "Morgul Blade" a specific weapon exclusive to the Witch King or do all the Nazgul supposedly possess them?

(I mean, taken literally it would simply mean "a sword forged in the Morgul Vale", right? But I assume you mean a blade that inflicts Shadow points.)

As far as I know, they were magical poisoned blades or daggers used by the Nazgul. Frodo was injured by one on Weathertop.

We are dealing with either:

A) an Omission

B) The Morgul Blade are not being used yet. They are more then likely forged, but at this time the Nazgul are laying low so they might not yet be fully armed as they were back in LOTR Fellowship of the Ring.

Yes, I know, but I don't think it was clear from the text whether ALL Nazgul carried them, or just the Witch King.

Every Nazgul carries a Morgul-knife. It's part of their standard equipment.

MERP?

Heh. Exactly.

Check p.37 Gorgoroth MERP book and following related to the other Nazgul's weaponry, I would add a photo if there's no trouble about copyright
