“Now, they are slaves to his will.”
Aragorn, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
I am thinking of including a character in my third fantasy book that is a wraith. Like the Nazgul were to Sauron, my wraith character will be a mindlessly loyal servant to a certain character. Despite this loyalty, the wraith will still have a degree of autonomy. Wraiths are undead creatures such as zombies and ghosts. I have never written an undead character with a mind of its own before, which will be an interesting experience. What does an undead creature with a mind of its own think about? I am curious to find out in my third fantasy book.
