Lord of the Rings – the Fellowship of the RingLord of the Rings – the Fellowship of the RingVol. I – THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING:The story starts with the twentieth birthday-party for Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit who lives with his brother Sam in a mythical land called the Shire. Frodo owns a magic Ring that makes him invisible when he wears it, a gift from his cousin Bilbo who stole it from the hoard of a Dragon years ago. One day the old wizard Gandalf comes to the Shire, and he tells Frodo of an evil being named Sauron who wants to capture the Ring for himself. In ages long past Sauron stole the Ring from the Elves, to protect him from the Powers of Good; but the Ring was stolen from him by a creature named Gollum,and then stolen from Gollum by the Dragons, and then from the Dragons by Bilbo, who finally gives it freely to Frodo. “Sauron has been searching for the Ring for years,” Gandalf tells Frodo, “and now he has sent his ally, the evil Witch-king, to the Shire to look for it.” Frodo and Sam consult with their loyal friends Merry and Pipsqueak, and when the evil Witch-king appears with his nine servants the clever hobbits trick them into going into a mushroom-patch, disorienting the witches just long enough to escape the Shire.
But the tone of the book rapidly becomes more serious as the Witch-king and his evil servants pursue the hobbits through the forest. Frodo discovers that the witches have destroyed the village of Bree, and the Witch-king uses a magic spell to burn down the home of their old friend Tom Bombadil. Frodo, horrified, wants to go back and fight the evil witches, but at a hill called Weathertop he meets a noble man named Aragorn who convinces him to go to the city of Rivendell. “In Rivendell you will be safe from their magic,” Aragorn tells him, “for Elrond is a sensible man, and does not believe in it.” With that Aragorn leads them rapidly to Rivendell, with the witches in hot pursuit. As they ford the last river between them and Rivendell the Witch-king casts a spell on the river-water, causing it to rise up and try to drown them; only Frodos quick thinking can save them, and he uses the power of the Ring to make all the water evaporate into fog. The fog is so thick that the Witch-king and his servants become hopelessly lost, and our heroes make it to the safety of Rivendell.
At Rivendell, Elrond holds a Council where the fate of the Ring is discussed. The only way to keep Sauron from recovering the Ring, they decide, is to throw it into the volcano of Mount Doom where it will be destroyed. During the Council Gandalf arrives late, saying that he had been held prisoner in the tower of Orthanc, the Wizards Tower.
Curiously, he refuses to describe how he escaped. “But it is more important than ever that we destroy the Ring,” Gandalf says, “for now the other Wizards know of it, and seek it as well.” He tells of how the dark wizard Saruman, once an ally of the forces of Good, has turned to evil and now controls Orthanc with an iron hand, and how the other Wizards are roaming the countryside seeking the Ring for themselves. They all agree to set out to destroy the Ring at once. Gandalf and Aragorn agree to go with the four Hobbits, as does Glorfindel, a descendant of the ancient ruler Ar-Pharazon, and Boromir, from the Royal House of Gondor; also joining them are an Elf and a Dwarf who dont really do much in the story but are there for comic relief. Together Gandalf and his nine companions – the “Fellowship of the Ring”, as they call themselves – set out for the dark land of Mordor.
PREFACE
The Fellowship of the Ring, the first of the Book of the Dead, came to life in 581 B.C., at which time hobbits, hobbits, or orcs called the Riders and the Wheelkins were seen running off from the great castle to take on the giants and the Elves. During this time the Ring was used by many different actors as a backdrop to fight Sauron against King of the Ring. Some were the original inhabitants of the land, some of them created by a local adventurer who had escaped a terrible world in the wilds of Middle-earth, while others were the original inhabitants of the lost world of Dany.
After the Middle ages, a number of myths, legends, and legends were passed down about the hobbits in the later ages. The tales and legends that began in the Middle Ages to explain and guide the hobbits into the world of Middle-earth are generally in the form of a few short stories. This information of the Riders and the Wheelkins being the original inhabitants of Middle-earth was also considered by the Fellowship from a later time into which an Old History was passing when the great kingdom of Gondor was established.
For the purpose of this work the following four tales comprise.
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Riders of the Ring
The Riders of Light
The Wheelkins
Boromir
Thrak, the Elven Lord and Great Lord of Time, took the Ring back to Glorfindel but Sauron managed to save his family from destruction by destroying Sauron’s magic armor. Then, the Fellowship of the Ring tried to take the Ring back. The Wheelkins were too strong to fight but managed to pull off a brave but futile attack with the strength of an ancient goblin. But the Ring was destroyed when the hobbit who had been holding it came under the power of the goblin Lord Sauron. Boromir was killed and was resurrected. Gandalf, Aragorn and Ormogor followed the Fellowship back to the lands of Mordor to discover that the Ring was given to them the original inhabitants of the land of Mordor.
But the Ring is not the only relic in the Middle Ages. A very large part of the Ring was held before the rise of the orcs and some of the remaining pieces in the Bronze Age (at this time). Even though it was held up as a symbol of peace, the Ring has never fully been returned because it is found there in ruins somewhere. But for those who lived through the Bronze Age, the Ring was used to keep the magical world peace and to protect the people of Middle-earth from the horrors of the Third Age. In a time of great turmoil, the Fellowship of the Ring and the Silver Hand did go to help settle the people of Mordor.
The Silver Hand
The Fellowship of the Ring and the Gandalf of The Fellowship of the Ring are members of the Silver Hand. They were one of the key members in the War of the Ring, and are involved with the battle of Mordor.
This War was a war of bravery from a noble and honorable group of hobbits who fought bravely in many wars throughout Middle-earth as well as the Iron Age. The Fellowship of the Ring used this war to protect the Middle-earth and
On the way, their path is repeatedly beset by evil forces. First they are attacked by evil Orcs in the woods; next they are driven into the dark forest of Lothlorien, where they are imprisoned by the beautiful but evil Queen Beruthiel. They make their escape when Beruthiels good sister, Galadriel, frees them from their prison-cell and floats them down the river in barrels. After that they think it best to leave the woods and head to Moria, the secret city under the mountains; here, however, they face a terrifying setback when they are found by the evil wizard Radagast. Gandalf sacrifices his life to destroy Radagast the Balrog, and the others escape the mountains while the battle rages. At the end of the book, however, the Fellowship is destroyed from within; Glorfindel, lusting for power, tries to kill Frodo for the Ring. Aragorn stops Glorfindel by shooting him through the throat with a black arrow; Glorfindel dies, but not until he maliciously sets fire to the grasslands. In the resulting smoke and confusion the Fellowship of the Ring is hopelessly scattered.
Vol. II – THE TWO TOWERS:Well, everybody ends up running around Middle-earth in different directions. Aragorn and that Dwarf and Elf whose names I cant remember go to this
