He encountered Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli in Fangorn, and they, mistaking Gandalf for Saruman, attempted to kill him. Gandalf, though thought to be dead when he fell at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm in Moria, came back to Middle-earth, reincarnated as Gandalf the White. Upon arriving at the site of the battle, Aragorn discovered that the hobbits fled deep into Fangorn Forest. After questioning Éomer, they found out that the riders had already slain the Uruk-hai they were meant to track, the night before in a bloody massacre. Along the way the trio crossed through Rohan and came across Éomer and his éored. From there Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli chased after the Uruk-hai who took Merry and Pippin, who were taking the hobbits, believed to be the Ring-bearers, to Saruman in Isengard. Frodo and Sam carried on towards Mordor Boromir was given funerary rites and sent floating over the falls, and Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli departed on their way to save Merry and Pippin.Īfter Boromir died the Fellowship split into three paths. The Fellowship was dissolved on the banks of the Anduin that day. The Fellowship traversing the Misty Mountains before they reached Moria - by Robert Zigo The repentant Boromir died trying to defend Merry and Pippin against a large force of Uruk-hai from Isengard. This led to Frodo using the Ring to escape and he and Sam leaving to spare the others the lure of it. Boromir finally succumbed to temptation, and attempted to seize the Ring from Frodo. The Fellowship traversing Hollin (formerly Eregion) - by Donato Giancolaįorced to portage their boats around the Rapids of Sarn Gebir and preparing to take the North Stair to avoid the Falls of Rauros, the Fellowship soon ran into difficulties. This route was quicker than an overland march, but the group was attacked by Orc archers and shadowed by Gollum, who had begun following them in Moria. Galadriel supplied them each with special Elven Gifts from Lothlórien, boats and supplies so that they could travel down the river Anduin. Once they escaped Moria, the Fellowship headed to the Elven forest of Lothlórien where they met with the Elven Lord Celeborn and Galadriel, Lady of Light. Gandalf fell facing this menace, and the company was forced to go on without him. They were soon confronted by the Balrog known as Durin's Bane, who had many Orc and Troll minions under his control. In the former Dwarf-kingdom, they found evidence that Orcs had slain Gimli's kinsman Balin and other Dwarves who had returned there. The Fellowship, being led mainly by Gandalf, headed down the path to Mordor.Īfter a long and difficult journey south from Rivendell, and a near-catastrophic attempt to cross over the Misty Mountains via the Pass of Caradhras, the Fellowship descended into Moria. The Fellowship of the Ring was formed by Elrond after the Council of Elrond. However, the Halflings persevered: Merry was chosen while Gandalf convinced Elrond of the loyalty of Pippin. He wished to send the two younger hobbits back to the Shire as messengers to warn other Hobbits of the growing evil. Merry and Pippin were never intended to be a part of the Fellowship, with Elrond initially considering two Elf-lords from his own house. This number was chosen to match the number of Nazgûl. It was the only known organisation ever formed in the history of Middle-earth to hold members of each of these races within it (and with the departure of the Elves and the Wizards from Middle-earth, there would never be another such group), who largely lived and acted independent of one another. The hobbits of The Fellowship of the Ring, with Frodo Baggins second from leftįormed at the Council of Elrond, the Fellowship consisted of nine members: four Hobbits, two Men, one Elf, one Dwarf, and a Wizard.
