Biography[]
Origin[]
They were once Daughters to Emperor Sagong of a distant land in the farthest east of Middle-earth called the Kingdom of Shen. The sisters were sent to Mordor in order to recover the Ring of Power. They were able to slay two Nazgûl and take their rings and succeeded in defeating the Nazgul's armies. Returning to their father, the rings soon influenced and corrupted them, and they eventually killed him. The sisters then took his throne, and eventually, Sauron brought them to his service, who led them back to Mordor to become his servants.
As Nazgûl[]
After Sauron and Celebrimbor's battle, which ended with both trapped in the form of a flaming eyeball and the Witch-king defeated by Talion, the Sisters took the advantage of their masters' weakened state by attempting to take Mordor over themselves. After their defeat at the hands of Talion and Eltariel, they returned to serve Sauron.
