about the Ring. It was too scary to know that the Ring belonged to Sauron the
Dark Lord. Sauron forged the Ring to rule over Middle-earth however he got
defeated in the War of the Last Alliance. King Elendil’s son Isildur cut the
Ring from Sauron’s finger and kept the Ring for himself. Soon Isildur got slain
in the Battle of the Gladden Fields; the Ring was lost, now it was in the deep Great
River Anduin. Thousands of years passed the ring went into different hands.
Finally Bilbo got after Gollum. The Ring had evil powers which always inflicted
bad effects on its bearer and those who stay near to it. But then Sauron the
Dark Lord regained his power and returned to Mordor.
Gandalf informed Frodo the Ring was unsafe in the Shire. Sauron knew where
the Ring was. Frodo planned to go Elf-haven Rivendell, the only safest place
for Frodo and the Ring. Frodo left the
Shire with Sam, Merry and Pippin but Fatty stayed behind to distract Nazgul.
The hobbits travelled through the Old Forest to meet Aragorn, their guide to
Rivendell. Nazgul attacks Frodo and his companions, Frodo got severely injured

the Ring. The steward of Gondor, Boromir tells about a dream to search “the Sword
That Was Broken” and “Isildur’s Bane” in Rivendell. Frodo and the Ring were
Isildur’s Bane. Finally the Council decided to throw the Ring into the fires of
Mount Doom in Mordor.
Elrond explained Boromir the intrinsic evil of the ring; the Ring had
corrupting powers for everyone. Frodo decides to set for the quest and becomes
the Ring-bearer. He started his quest with eight of his friends, Boromir and Aragorn,
Legolas, Gandalf, Gimlithe dwarf (Gloin’s son) and three hobbits. This company has
formed the Fellowship of the Ring and represent the races of Middle-earth. During
an encounter with Balrog, Gandalf falls into an abyss; others run away and reach
in Lothlorien. Frodo ends up the fellowship and moves to Mordor along with Sam.

and Sam met Gollum and made him their guide. They passed through smelly
marshland viewed dead warriors haunting the waters. At last they see the Black
Gate of the realm of Mordor. Frodo gets paralyzed because of Shelob’s sting and
