What happens to the Ringwraiths?
The Ringwraiths were no longer living men. They had all but died and could never again exist as physically incarnated biological beings without the intervention of at least the Valar and perhaps only Ilúvatar.
Would the Witch-king have returned?
But the Witch-king himself came at the last, robed and masked in black and riding a black horse, and attempted to kill Eärnur with his own hands. Eärnur wanted to pursue, but Glorfindel held him back and made his famous prophecy. He will not return to this land.
How old are the Ringwraiths?
So I’d say the Ringwraiths were roughly 4500–4800 years old at the time of their destruction. They were all from the First Age, which made them thousands of years old.
How old would the Witch-king be now?
Just as Sauron seemed to disappear from existence, so did the Witch-king and the remaining Nazgul. Of course, they would all make a return during the Third Age. This would put the Witch-king at over 4,200 years old upon his defeat at the hands of Eowyn and Merry.
How did the Witch-king start the war of the ring?
With the patience of his master, the Witch-King took his time and built an army of orcs and other evil creatures, along with evil men, and began a conquest that would have a serious impact on the coming War of the Ring. Arnor was a great kingdom of Men in the northern region of Middle-earth founded in the Second Age.
Who was the Witch-king before he became a Wraith?

What was the Witch-king’s hair like?
The Witch-king was said to have long, gleaming hair when Frodo saw him in his true form on Weathertop, as was also brought to life in The Fellowship of the Ring.
