Lord of the Rings Puzzle Pack
08 : Pelennor Fields

Upon the beast sat a shape, black-mantled, huge and threatening. A crown of steel he bore, but between rim and robe naught was there to see, save only a deadly gleam of eyes: the Lord of the Nazgul.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Values in cages must sum to the given total.
Nine cells on the battlefield (grid) are "Nazgul" cells -- the digits 1 to 9 once each -- one in every row, column and box. The value of a Nazgul cell is DOUBLE the digit it contains. Additionally, no Nazgul is a (chess) knight's move away from another Nazgul, and no cell a knight's move away from a Nazgul can contain the same digit.
The locations of the Nazgul are to be determined by the solver.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!

Nice and easy (2*) puzzle. I think I never needed at least one of the cages … but I really enjoyed solving and like the special ruleset here - with the Nazgul-Doublers. Thank you very much for creating and sharing this episode.
