But since

North-Kingdom

the next
year his forces were routed and Angmar was destroyed. He turned to the
South-Kingdom
of Gondor where he attacked and took Minas Ithith and renamed it Minas Morgul in
2000. He fought Gondor for a thousand years. In 3018 he disguised himself as one
of the
Black Riders and searched for the Ring in the Shire. He wounded the Ring-bearer

attack
Minas Tirith, where he slew Theoden, but was slain by Eowyn, in fulfillment of
the
Prophecy.
