had in the first place. Likewise, "The Witch-King of Angmar", chief of
the Nazgul, has lost his uncanonical name of Murazor. (Admittedly,
*all* the Nazguls' names are uncanonical, with the possible exception
of Khamul the Black Easterling, and even HE was only named in one or
two unpublished letters, later referred to in a footnote in
"Unfinished Tales".)

So I'm cruising around at 2150', minding my own business when I run
intothis vault containing 'The Balrog of Moria.' A quick check to my
out ofdate 2.7.9 spoilers tells me this is a new guy... possible
replacement forMuar? (I thought they were the same guy) What gives? I don't want
a 3000HP firebreather to instakill me (as you will see, I don't think I've
got theHP to cover it) but the vault looks mighty interesting.
It's not a replacement, just a removal of a name he should never havehad in the first place. Likewise, "The Witch-King of Angmar", chief of
the Nazgul, has lost his uncanonical name of Murazor. (Admittedly,
*all* the Nazguls' names are uncanonical, with the possible exception
of Khamul the Black Easterling, and even HE was only named in one or
two unpublished letters, later referred to in a footnote in
