Midpoint Part IIĮlrond summons Frodo, Gandalf, Strider (who’s revealed to be Aragorn, the one true heir to Gondor), the elf Legolas, the Dwarf Gimli, and the human Boromir to tell them they must bring the One Ring to Mount Doom in Mordor. Midpointįrodo is healed by the half-elf Elrond in Rivendell, where he meets Gandalf (who escaped from Saruman’s clutches by way of a perfectly-timed jump onto a Golden Eagle). Strider tells Frodo he can only be healed by the Elves in Rivendell. The Ringwraiths catch up with the hobbits and Strider – and one stabs Frodo with a Morgul blade. But when they arrive, they learn Gandalf hasn’t been seen for a long time – in his stead, a mysterious ranger named Strider protects the hobbits from the Ringwraiths (former Human Kings enslaved by Sauron) who are in pursuit of the One Ring. Plot Point OneĮn route to the town of Bree (where Gandalf instructed them to go), Frodo and Sam join up with two other hobbits: Merry and Pippin. Saruman reveals that he’s succumbed to Sauron’s influence and then detains Gandalf. Gandalf confronts the wizard Saruman with news of Sauron’s resurgence. Frodo, along with his best friend Samwise Gamgee, depart for the open road.

A short time later, Gandalf returns and tells Frodo that dark forces are on their way and that he must leave the Shire with the One Ring. Inciting Incidentīilbo relinquishes the One Ring to Frodo and leaves Hobbiton. Later that night, he celebrates with the wizard Gandalf, his nephew Frodo, and all the hobbits in Hobbiton. Expositionīilbo begins writing the story of his exploits with the One Ring – titled “There and Back Again” – ahead of his 111th birthday party. The One Ring went from Sauron (who was ‘killed’ at The Battle of Dagorlad), to Isildur (who was killed shortly after), t0 “the creature” Gollum, and then to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. Galadriel narrates the story of “the One True Ring of Power.” The One Ring was created by the dark lord Sauron ~3000 years before the events of the story to rival the 19 rings of power that were made to empower the elvish, dwarven, and human alliance.
