'''Freca''' (d. {{TA|2754}}), who claimed descent from King [[Fréawine]], was a lord of [[Rohan]] during the reign of King [[Helm|Helm Hammerhand]]. His lands lay on either side of the [[Adorn]] west of the [[Gap of Rohan]] and he was said to have much [[Dunlendish]] blood in his veins (and, unusual for one of the [[Rohirrim]], grew dark hair). Obtaining wealth and power from his rich domain, he constructed a stronghold at the source of the Adorn and paid little heed to the king although Helm called upon him to attend his councils.<br />
<br />
In {{TA|2754}} Freca came to a council with a retinue of many men and requested that Helm's daughter be wed to his son [[Wulf]]. Helm rebuffed him and called him fat, Freca raged and reviled the king, and after the council Helm struck Freca so powerfully that Freca died from the blow. Helm then declared Wulf and all of Freca's near kin to be his enemies and the retinue fled to the west.<br />
<br />
Rohan was invaded from the east in {{TA|2758}}. Sensing their chance, a host of Dunlendings invaded from [[Isengard]] and from over the [[Isen]]. Their leader was Wulf, who drove Helm into the [[Hornburg]], captured [[Edoras]] and sat in [[Meduseld]], and called himself king. Although Helm and his sons died in the [[Long Winter]], his sister-son [[Fréaláf]] surprised and slew Wulf and regained Edoras.<ref>{{App|Eorl}}</ref><br />
<br />
The slaying of Freca was not forgotten by his people and in the [[War of the Ring]], over two hundred and fifty years later, many of them sided with [[Saruman]].<ref>{{UT|Isen}}, note 4</ref><br />

'''Tobold "Old Toby" Hornblower''' was a famous [[Hobbits|Hobbit]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Toby came from [[Longbottom]] in the [[Southfarthing]] of [[the Shire]]. He was the first to cultivate [[pipe-weed]] in [[the Shire]], and was quite famous for it. How he came by the weed is unknown, though [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry Brandybuck]] speculated that he had traveled to [[Bree]] in his youth and came into contact with the herbs there.<ref>{{FR|Prologue}}, "Concerning Pipe-weed"</ref><ref>{{TT|III8}}</ref><ref>{{App|B2}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
Tobold is a form of ''[[Wikipedia:Theudebald|Theobald]]'' which contains ''theud'' "people" and ''bald'' "bold".<ref>{{HM|RC}}, p. 31</ref> <br />
<br />
==Other versions of the legendarium==<br />
<br />
In a draft version of the chapter "[[The Road to Isengard]]", the name of this hobbit was Elias Tobiasson of Mugworth.<ref>{{WR|1|III}}, p. 36</ref> In Swedish, ''Elias Tobiasson'' is a normal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_name#Scandinavia name of a person].<ref>Noted by [[User:Morgan]] (26 December 2010)</ref><br />
<br />
In another early version of the [[legendarium]], Toby was named ''Tobias Hornblower'', and his [[Westron]] name was ''Zāra-tōbi Raspūta''.<ref>{{PM|Languages}}</ref><br />

'''Arvedui''' ({{TA|1864}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, p. 195</ref> – {{TA|1975|n}},<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref> died aged 111) was the fifteenth, and last, king of [[Arthedain]], succeeding his father, [[Araphant]], upon his death in 1964.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Birth and Early Life===<br />
Arvedui's name meant "Last King" in [[Sindarin]], and he was named so due to a prophecy by [[Malbeth|Malbeth the Seer]] at Arvedui's birth spoken to his father, [[Araphant]]: {{quote|Arvedui you shall call him, for he will be the last in Arthedain. Though a choice will come to the Dúnedain, and if they take the one that seems less hopeful, then your son will change his name and become king of a great realm. If not, then much sorrow and many lives of men shall pass, until the Dúnedain arise and are united again.|[[Malbeth]]<ref name="Gondor">{{App|Gondor}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
Arvedui married [[Fíriel]], the daughter of the king of [[Gondor]], [[Ondoher]], in {{TA|1940|n}}, securing the link between Gondor and Arthedain after years of estrangement. Four years later, Ondoher was killed in a battle with the [[Wainriders]], and died without a male heir. Arvedui sent messages to Gondor claiming the kingship of Gondor as a descendent of [[Isildur]] and as the husband of [[Fíriel]], who, under [[Law of Succession in Númenor|old Númenórean law]], should have become the first ruling queen. In {{TA|1945|n}} the [[Council of Gondor]], persuaded by the Steward [[Pelendur]], voted against Arvedui's claim in favour of [[Eärnil II|Eärnil]] - the distant relative of the king and the victorious general in the war on the Wainriders.<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
===Life as King===<br />
<!--"See also" in Eriador#Destruction of Arnor links here--><br />
[[File:Steamey - Arvedui.jpg|thumb|left|Steamey - ''Arvedui'']]<br />
When Arvedui became king in {{TA|1964|n}}, the kingdom was already in a bad state, struggling to hold back the forces of [[Angmar]]. In {{TA|1974|n}} the [[Witch-king]] descended from the north, capturing [[Fornost]] and pushing most of the [[Dúnedain]] over the [[Lhûn|Lune]]. Arvedui and his men, rescued several heirlooms of Arnor such as the [[Ring of Barahir]] and ''[[palantíri]]'' of [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]] and [[Annúminas]]. They held out on the [[North Downs]] but fled north and hid in old [[Dwarf|dwarven]] mines in the [[Blue Mountains]] before being forced to seek the aid of the [[Lossoth]] in the Ice-bay of [[Forochel]] due to hunger.<ref name="Eriador">{{App|Eriador}}</ref><br />
<br />
The snowmen were unmoved by the Arnorians's jewels but helped the gaunt king and his men out of pity and out of fear of their weapons, giving them food and building them snow-huts. Arvedui and his men had to stay there as their horses had perished, and kept a fire constantly alight waiting for help. That winter was especially long and the ices persisted. In {{TA|1975|n}}, when [[Círdan]] heard from Arvedui's son, [[Aranarth]], of his plight, he sent a ship to Forochel to find him. When the ship arrived in March of that year, the ice-men were afraid for no ship had been seen in those water in living memory, and the leader of the snowmen counselled Arvedui:{{quote|Do not mount on this sea-monster! If they have them, let the seamen bring us food and other things that we need, and you may stay here till the Witch-king goes home. For in summer his power wanes; but now his breath is deadly, and his cold arm is long.|Chief of the Lossoth<ref name="Eriador"/>}}<br />
However, Arvedui did not heed their advice and gave them his ring, the [[Ring of Barahir]], as a token of his thanks. When the ship set sail a great wind came from the north and the hull of the ship was broken on some ice, thus the last king of Arthedain died, and with him the two ''[[palantíri]]'' were lost.<ref name="Eriador"/><br />
<br />
===After Arvedui's Death===<br />
In {{TA|1973|n}}, Gondor had received word from Arthedain of their difficulties, and not forgetting their ancient kinship, [[Eärnil II]], king of Gondor, sent as great a fleet as he could spare captained by his son [[Eärnur]]. By the time the fleet arrived, Arthedain was already defeated, and Arvedui had already perished. <br />
<br />
However, in order to finally defeat this evil, Eärnur, Círdan and [[Glorfindel]] captained a host from Gondor, [[Lindon]] and [[Rivendell]] and marched across Eriador in such a great force that Angmar was utterly defeated without a single orc from that realm left to the west of the [[Misty Mountains]].<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
Despite the eventual victory over Angmar, Arnor was utterly defeated, and the Dúnedain of the North were a scattered and [[Rangers of the North|wandering people]] of which there were few. The line of kings continued, however, in [[Aranarth]] who took the title of [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] all the way down to [[Aragorn|Aragorn Elessar]]; and when Aragorn claimed the throne of Gondor he did so as both the heir of Isildur and Anárion due to the fact he was descended from Fíriel - a claim none of the heirs of Arvedui forgot.<br />
<br />
As such, Malbeth's prophecy proved true, for Arvedui was indeed the last King of Arthedain; likewise, the last king of Gondor was Eärnur who was killed by the Witch-king. There would not be another king in the north until [[Aragorn|Elessar]] reunited the thrones of Gondor and Arnor in the [[Reunited Kingdom]].<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
Arvedui's name is [[Sindarin]] for "Last King" from ''[[ar]]'' meaning "royal, king", and ''[[medui]]'' (becoming [[Lenition|lenited]] to ''vedui'') meaning "last".<br />

:Arvedui appears in the expansion pack, ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II: The Rise of the Witch-king|The Rise of the Witch-king]]'', during the Siege of Fornost in the Angmar-campaign. After Angmar's forces reach the second wall, he leads a sortie, but is killed.<br />

'''2007: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''<br />
:In his last moments, Arvedui despaired and cursed himself for his pride in ignoring the warning of the [[Lossoth]]. As of the [[War of the Ring]], his shade still lingered in the wreck of his ship in the ice near the western coast of the [[Icebay of Forochel|Icebay]]. At his request, the player recovered a book of heraldry that had been left in the [[Dwarf]]-mines he had hidden in, and delivered the book to the [[Rangers of the North|Ranger]] "Lothrandir".<ref>{{VGC|SAXIII}}</ref><br />

'''Arvedui''' ({{TA|1864}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, p. 195</ref> – {{TA|1975|n}},<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref> died aged 111) was the fifteenth, and last, king of [[Arthedain]], succeeding his father, [[Araphant]], upon his death in 1964.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Birth and Early Life===<br />
Arvedui's name meant "Last King" in [[Sindarin]], and he was named so due to a prophecy by [[Malbeth|Malbeth the Seer]] at Arvedui's birth spoken to his father, [[Araphant]]: {{quote|Arvedui you shall call him, for he will be the last in Arthedain. Though a choice will come to the Dúnedain, and if they take the one that seems less hopeful, then your son will change his name and become king of a great realm. If not, then much sorrow and many lives of men shall pass, until the Dúnedain arise and are united again.|[[Malbeth]]<ref name="Gondor">{{App|Gondor}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
Arvedui married [[Fíriel]], the daughter of the king of [[Gondor]], [[Ondoher]], in {{TA|1940|n}}, securing the link between Gondor and Arthedain after years of estrangement. Four years later, Ondoher was killed in a battle with the [[Wainriders]], and died without a male heir. Arvedui sent messages to Gondor claiming the kingship of Gondor as a descendent of [[Isildur]] and as the husband of [[Fíriel]], who, under [[Law of Succession in Númenor|old Númenórean law]], should have become the first ruling queen. In {{TA|1945|n}} the [[Council of Gondor]], persuaded by the Steward [[Pelendur]], voted against Arvedui's claim in favour of [[Eärnil II|Eärnil]] - the distant relative of the king and the victorious general in the war on the Wainriders.<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
===Life as King===<br />
<!--"See also" in Eriador#Destruction of Arnor links here--><br />
[[File:Steamey - Arvedui.jpg|thumb|left|Steamey - ''Arvedui'']]<br />
When Arvedui became king in {{TA|1964|n}}, the kingdom was already in a bad state, struggling to hold back the forces of [[Angmar]]. In {{TA|1974|n}} the [[Witch-king]] descended from the north, capturing [[Fornost]] and pushing most of the [[Dúnedain]] over the [[Lhûn|Lune]]. Arvedui and his men, rescued several heirlooms of Arnor such as the [[Ring of Barahir]] and ''[[palantíri]]'' of [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]] and [[Annúminas]]. They held out on the [[North Downs]] but fled north and hid in old [[Dwarf|dwarven]] mines in the [[Blue Mountains]] before being forced to seek the aid of the [[Lossoth]] in the Ice-bay of [[Forochel]] due to hunger.<ref name="Eriador">{{App|Eriador}}</ref><br />
<br />
The snowmen were unmoved by the Arnorians's jewels but helped the gaunt king and his men out of pity and out of fear of their weapons, giving them food and building them snow-huts. Arvedui and his men had to stay there as their horses had perished, and kept a fire constantly alight waiting for help. That winter was especially long and the ices persisted. In {{TA|1975|n}}, when [[Círdan]] heard from Arvedui's son, [[Aranarth]], of his plight, he sent a ship to Forochel to find him. When the ship arrived in March of that year, the ice-men were afraid for no ship had been seen in those water in living memory, and the leader of the snowmen counselled Arvedui:{{quote|Do not mount on this sea-monster! If they have them, let the seamen bring us food and other things that we need, and you may stay here till the Witch-king goes home. For in summer his power wanes; but now his breath is deadly, and his cold arm is long.|Chief of the Lossoth<ref name="Eriador"/>}}<br />
However, Arvedui did not heed their advice and gave them his ring, the [[Ring of Barahir]], as a token of his thanks. When the ship set sail a great wind came from the north and the hull of the ship was broken on some ice, thus the last king of Arthedain died, and with him the two ''[[palantíri]]'' were lost.<ref name="Eriador"/><br />
<br />
===After Arvedui's Death===<br />
In {{TA|1973|n}}, Gondor had received word from Arthedain of their difficulties, and not forgetting their ancient kinship, [[Eärnil II]], king of Gondor, sent as great a fleet as he could spare captained by his son [[Eärnur]]. By the time the fleet arrived, Arthedain was already defeated, and Arvedui had already perished. <br />
<br />
However, in order to finally defeat this evil, Eärnur, Círdan and [[Glorfindel]] captained a host from Gondor, [[Lindon]] and [[Rivendell]] and marched across Eriador in such a great force that Angmar was utterly defeated without a single orc from that realm left to the west of the [[Misty Mountains]].<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
Despite the eventual victory over Angmar, Arnor was utterly defeated, and the Dúnedain of the North were a scattered and [[Rangers of the North|wandering people]] of which there were few. The line of kings continued, however, in [[Aranarth]] who took the title of [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] all the way down to [[Aragorn|Aragorn Elessar]]; and when Aragorn claimed the throne of Gondor he did so as both the heir of Isildur and Anárion due to the fact he was descended from Fíriel - a claim none of the heirs of Arvedui forgot.<br />
<br />
As such, Malbeth's prophecy proved true, for Arvedui was indeed the last King of Arthedain; likewise, the last king of Gondor was Eärnur who was killed by the Witch-king. There would not be another king in the north until [[Aragorn|Elessar]] reunited the thrones of Gondor and Arnor in the [[Reunited Kingdom]].<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
Arvedui's name is [[Sindarin]] for "Last King" from ''[[ar]]'' meaning "royal, king", and ''[[medui]]'' (becoming [[Lenition|lenited]] to ''vedui'') meaning "last".<br />

'''Arvedui''' ({{TA|1864}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, p. 195</ref> – {{TA|1975|n}},<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref> died aged 111) was the fifteenth, and last, king of [[Arthedain]], succeeding his father, [[Araphant]], upon his death in 1964.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Birth and Early Life===<br />
Arvedui's name meant "Last King" in [[Sindarin]], and he was named so due to a prophecy by [[Malbeth|Malbeth the Seer]] at Arvedui's birth spoken to his father, [[Araphant]]: {{quote|Arvedui you shall call him, for he will be the last in Arthedain. Though a choice will come to the Dúnedain, and if they take the one that seems less hopeful, then your son will change his name and become king of a great realm. If not, then much sorrow and many lives of men shall pass, until the Dúnedain arise and are united again.|[[Malbeth]]<ref name="Gondor">{{App|Gondor}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
Arvedui married [[Fíriel]], the daughter of the king of [[Gondor]], [[Ondoher]], in {{TA|1940|n}}, securing the link between Gondor and Arthedain after years of estrangement. Four years later, Ondoher was killed in a battle with the [[Wainriders]], and died without a male heir. Arvedui sent messages to Gondor claiming the kingship of Gondor as a descendent of [[Isildur]] and as the husband of [[Fíriel]], who, under [[Law of Succession in Númenor|old Númenórean law]], should have become the first ruling queen. In {{TA|1945|n}} the [[Council of Gondor]], persuaded by the Steward [[Pelendur]], voted against Arvedui's claim in favour of [[Eärnil II|Eärnil]] - the distant relative of the king and the victorious general in the war on the Wainriders.<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
===Life as King===<br />
<!--"See also" in Eriador#Destruction of Arnor links here--><br />
[[File:Steamey - Arvedui.jpg|thumb|left|Steamey - ''Arvedui'']]<br />
When Arvedui became king in {{TA|1964|n}}, the kingdom was already in a bad state, struggling to hold back the forces of [[Angmar]]. In {{TA|1974|n}} the [[Witch-king]] descended from the north, capturing [[Fornost]] and pushing most of the [[Dúnedain]] over the [[Lhûn|Lune]]. Arvedui and his men, rescued several heirlooms of Arnor such as the [[Ring of Barahir]] and ''[[palantíri]]'' of [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]] and [[Annúminas]]. They held out on the [[North Downs]] but fled north and hid in old [[Dwarf|dwarven]] mines in the [[Blue Mountains]] before being forced to seek the aid of the [[Lossoth]] in the Ice-bay of [[Forochel]] due to hunger.<ref name="Eriador">{{App|Eriador}}</ref><br />
<br />
The snowmen were unmoved by the Arnorians's jewels but helped the gaunt king and his men out of pity and out of fear of their weapons, giving them food and building them snow-huts. Arvedui and his men had to stay there as their horses had perished, and kept a fire constantly alight waiting for help. That winter was especially long and the ices persisted. In {{TA|1975|n}}, when [[Círdan]] heard from Arvedui's son, [[Aranarth]], of his plight, he sent a ship to Forochel to find him. When the ship arrived in March of that year, the ice-men were afraid for no ship had been seen in those water in living memory, and the leader of the snowmen counselled Arvedui:{{quote|Do not mount on this sea-monster! If they have them, let the seamen bring us food and other things that we need, and you may stay here till the Witch-king goes home. For in summer his power wanes; but now his breath is deadly, and his cold arm is long.|Chief of the Lossoth<ref name="Eriador"/>}}<br />
However, Arvedui did not heed their advice and gave them his ring, the [[Ring of Barahir]], as a token of his thanks. When the ship set sail a great wind came from the north and the hull of the ship was broken on some ice, thus the last king of Arthedain died, and with him the two ''[[palantíri]]'' were lost.<ref name="Eriador"/><br />
<br />
===After Arvedui's Death===<br />
In {{TA|1973|n}}, Gondor had received word from Arthedain of their difficulties, and not forgetting their ancient kinship, [[Eärnil II]], king of Gondor, sent as great a fleet as he could spare captained by his son [[Eärnur]]. By the time the fleet arrived, Arthedain was already defeated, and Arvedui had already perished. <br />
<br />
However, in order to finally defeat this evil, Eärnur, Círdan and [[Glorfindel]] captained a host from Gondor, [[Lindon]] and [[Rivendell]] and marched across Eriador in such a great force that Angmar was utterly defeated without a single orc from that realm left to the west of the [[Misty Mountains]].<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
Despite the eventual victory over Angmar, Arnor was utterly defeated, and the Dúnedain of the North were a scattered and [[Rangers of the North|wandering people]] of which there were few. The line of kings continued, however, in [[Aranarth]] who took the title of [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] all the way down to [[Aragorn|Aragorn Elessar]]; and when Aragorn claimed the throne of Gondor he did so as both the heir of Isildur and Anárion due to the fact he was descended from Fíriel - a claim none of the heirs of Arvedui forgot.<br />
<br />
As such, Malbeth's prophecy proved true, for Arvedui was indeed the last King of Arthedain; likewise, the last king of Gondor was Eärnur who was killed by the Witch-king. There would not be another king in the north until [[Aragorn|Elessar]] reunited the thrones of Gondor and Arnor in the [[Reunited Kingdom]].<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
Arvedui's name is [[Sindarin]] for "Last King" from ''[[ar]]'' meaning "royal, king", and ''[[medui]]'' (becoming [[Lenition|lenited]] to ''vedui'') meaning "last".<br />

The snowmen were unmoved by the Arnorians's jewels but helped the gaunt king and his men out of pity and out of fear of their weapons, giving them food and building them snow-huts. Arvedui and his men had to stay there as their horses had perished, and kept a fire constantly alight waiting for help. That winter was especially long and the ices persisted. In {{TA|1975|n}}, when [[Círdan]] heard from Arvedui's son, [[Aranarth]], of his plight, he sent a ship to Forochel to find him. When the ship arrived in March of that year, the ice-men were afraid for no ship had been seen in those water in living memory, and the leader of the snowmen counselled Arvedui:{{quote|Do not mount on this sea-monster! If they have them, let the seamen bring us food and other things that we need, and you may stay here till the Witch-king goes home. For in summer his power wanes; but now his breath is deadly, and his cold arm is long.|Chief of the Lossoth<ref name="Eriador"/>}}<br />
However, Arvedui did not heed their advice and gave them his ring, the [[Ring of Barahir]], as a token of his thanks. When the ship set sail a great wind came from the north and the hull of the ship was broken on some ice, thus the last king of Arthedain died, and with him the two ''[[palantíri]]'' were lost.<ref name="Eriador"/><br />
<br />
===After Arvedui's Death===<br />
In {{TA|1973|n}}, Gondor had received word from Arthedain of their difficulties, and not forgetting their ancient kinship, [[Eärnil II]], king of Gondor, sent as great a fleet as he could spare captained by his son [[Eärnur]]. By the time the fleet arrived, Arthedain was already defeated, and Arvedui had already perished. <br />
<br />
However, in order to finally defeat this evil, Eärnur, Círdan and [[Glorfindel]] captained a host from Gondor, [[Lindon]] and [[Rivendell]] and marched across Eriador in such a great force that Angmar was utterly defeated without a single orc from that realm left to the west of the [[Misty Mountains]].<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
Despite the eventual victory over Angmar, Arnor was utterly defeated, and the Dúnedain of the North were a scattered and [[Rangers of the North|wandering people]] of which there were few. The line of kings continued, however, in [[Aranarth]] who took the title of [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] all the way down to [[Aragorn|Aragorn Elessar]]; and when Aragorn claimed the throne of Gondor he did so as both the heir of Isildur and Anárion due to the fact he was descended from Fíriel - a claim none of the heirs of Arvedui forgot.<br />
<br />
As such, Malbeth's prophecy proved true, for Arvedui was indeed the last King of Arthedain; likewise, the last king of Gondor was Eärnur who was killed by the Witch-king. There would not be another king in the north until [[Aragorn|Elessar]] reunited the thrones of Gondor and Arnor in the [[Reunited Kingdom]].<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
Arvedui's name is [[Sindarin]] for "Last King" from ''[[ar]]'' meaning "royal, king", and ''[[medui]]'' (becoming [[Lenition|lenited]] to ''vedui'') meaning "last".<br />

}}'''Beren''' ({{FA|432}} – {{FA|503|n}}), aged approx. 71 years at the time of his final death) was a [[Men|Man]] of [[Middle-earth]], a hero whose romance with the [[Elves|Elf]] [[Lúthien]] was one of the great stories of the [[Elder Days]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
== Life in Dorthonion ==<br />
[[Image:J.R.R. Tolkien - Beren Heraldic Device.png|thumb|left|70px|Beren's heraldic device]]<br />
Beren was the son of [[Barahir]] and [[Emeldir]]. He was a Man of the royal [[House of Bëor]] of [[Dorthonion]] for his father was most likely the last Chieftain of the House of Bëor. The [[Dagor Bragollach]] ("Battle of Sudden Flame") befell during his youth, bringing about the ruin of his land. The young Beren lived with his father and ten loyal followers in the highlands of Dorthonion, and the twelve of them performed many acts of bravery, to the great frustration of [[Morgoth]], the Dark Lord of [[Angband]]. After the betrayal and death of the Outlaws of Dorthonion due to the treachery of [[Gorlim the Unhappy]], Beren swore an oath to avenge his father, "but wept not, for his heart was ice". He recovered the [[Ring of Barahir]] from the [[Orcs]], and lived on as an outlaw, whose feats of daring were renown throughout the free world. Eventually he was forced to abandon the land of his birth and the grave of his father. He crossed into [[Doriath]], where he saw and fell in love with [[Lúthien]], princess of the [[Sindar]] and daughter of [[Thingol]] and [[Melian]] when he saw her dancing.<br />
<br />
===[[Quest for the Silmaril]]===<br />
[[File:Felix Sotomayor - Beren at Thingol's Court.jpg|thumb|left|Felix Sotomayor - ''Beren at Thingol's Court'']]<br />
Thingol refused to give Lúthien's hand in marriage, as Beren was a mortal. He charged Beren that he would allow the marriage to take place only if he brought back a [[Silmaril]] from the [[Iron Crown]] of Morgoth. The task was intended to be impossible, but Beren was determined. He set out on this impossible quest with the aid of [[Finrod]] of [[Nargothrond]], but was soon captured by [[Sauron]] and imprisoned in [[Tol-in-Gaurhoth]]. Lúthien, along with [[Huan]] the great hound, eventually came to their rescue. <br />
[[Image:Ted_Nasmith_-_Transformed.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Transformed'']]<br />
Using Lúthien's powers to place Morgoth's court into a deep sleep, they were able to enter Angband where Beren was able to cut a Silmaril from Morgoth's iron crown. However, as they escaped from Angband, the great wolf [[Carcharoth]], whom Morgoth had personally bred, awoke. Beren held out the Silmaril, hoping that its radiance would avert the beast, but he was mistaken. Carcharoth bit off his hand, swallowing it along with the Silmaril, and proceeded to run rampant through Doriath. Thus Beren was called '''''Erchamion''''', "One-handed". Lúthien and the unconscious Beren were rescued by the Eagles of [[Manwë]]. Beren participated in the hunting of Carcharoth, where the beast was slain and the Silmaril recovered; the quest was accomplished, but in the process Beren was mortally wounded.<br />
<br />
Unable to deal with the death of her beloved, Lúthien, overcome with grief, laid down and died. Her soul went to the Halls of [[Mandos]], where she managed to move Mandos so that he granted her a wish. Both she and Beren were restored to life, but both of them would die the death of Men, and go beyond the walls of [[Arda]] to a place unknown.<br />
<br />
===Later History===<br />
{{Quote|(...) and whether the second span of his life was brief or long is not known to Elves or Men|Draft to ''Quenta Silmarillion''}}<br />
Thus Beren and Lúthien lived again, and dwelt on [[Tol Galen]] in the middle of the [[Adurant|River Adurant]] in [[Ossiriand]]. There they stayed apart from other mortals. Lúthien bore Beren a son, named [[Dior]], Thingol's heir. He was considered to be one of the fairest beings to ever live, for in him flowed the blood of Men, the blood of Elves, and the blood of the [[Ainur]]. Through his descendants, the blood of Beren and of Lúthien was preserved among the [[Eldar]] and the [[Edain]].<br />
<br />
Beren was involved with the events of the [[First Age]] only one further time. After the murder of Thingol, [[Mablung]] was sent by Melian to warn Beren. He gathered the [[Green-elves]] and with the aid of some [[Ents]]<ref>{{L|248}}</ref> they waylaid a group of the [[Dwarves of Nogrod]] who had [[Battle of the Thousand Caves|destroyed]] Doriath and stolen its treasures. They ambushed the Dwarves and vanquished them in the [[Battle of Sarn Athrad]]; because the Lord of Nogrod cursed the treasure, Beren threw it in the river [[Ascar]], but salvaged the [[Nauglamir]] which he brought to his wife. Their son Dior left to restore and rule [[Menegroth]].<ref name=doriath>{{S|Doriath}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Beren and Lúthien died together on Tol Galen. Among the Children of [[Ilúvatar]] the final death of Beren and Lúthien is accounted in {{FA|503}} for in the Autumn of that year Dior received the Silmaril in Doriath, and it was taken as a sign of his parents' death. In truth the date of their death is unknown.<ref name=doriath/><ref>{{LR|Quenta}}, p. 306</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
{{Pronounce|Beren Erchamion.mp3|Ardamir}}<br />
Beren is glossed as "bold" in [[Noldorin]] of the ''[[Etymologies]]''.<ref>{{LR|Etymologies}}, root [[BER]] p.352</ref><br />
<br />
His epithet ''Erchamion'' means "one-handed"<ref>{{HM|WJ}}, pp.51, 231</ref>. It has been suggested that ''Camlost'' means "empty-handed". Both epithets contain [[Sindarin]] ''cam'' "hand".<ref>{{S|Elements}}</ref> <br />

<br />
== Inspiration==<br />
The story of Beren and Lúthien, though mentioned only briefly in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', was a central part of the [[legendarium]]. Tolkien once referred to it as "the kernel of the mythology".<ref>{{L|165}}</ref> He went on to say that it "arose from a small woodland glade filled with 'hemlocks'", which he visited while serving in the Humber Garrison in 1918 (during [[World War I]]). <br />
<br />
In the earliest versions of the legendarium (see: ''[[The Book of Lost Tales Part Two]]''), Beren was a ''[[Gnome]]'' (a [[Noldo]]), son of [[Egnor (disambiguation)|Egnor]] (which might have been an early name for [[Aegnor]]).<br />
<br />
Tolkien seemed to be somehow connected to this character, and parallels can be drawn with his relationship with [[Edith Tolkien|Edith Bratt]]. Furthermore it is possible that ''Beren'' (meaning 'brave') is a reference to the original meaning of his Germanic surname (Toll kühn) of similar meaning. It is said that, like the story of Lúthien dancing in the woods before Beren, that one day while Tolkien and his wife were on a picnic in the woods she danced for him, thus creating another parallel to Beren and Luthien. <br />
<br />
Tolkien was buried in Wolvercote Cemetery (North Oxford) and this name appears on the stone:<br />
<br />
:JOHN RONALD REUEL TOLKIEN Beren 1892 – 1973<br />
<br />
The name of Lúthien also appears on the stone:<br />
<br />
:EDITH MARY TOLKIEN Lúthien 1889 – 1971<br />

{{quote|You were born at the end of a great age, Elanorellë|[[Samwise Gamgee]]<ref name="Epilogue">{{SD|Epilogue}}</ref>}}<br />
'''Elanor Fairbairn (née Gamgee or Gardner)''' was the first child of Master [[Samwise Gamgee]] and his wife [[Rose Cotton]]. <br />
==Life==<br />
Called "The Fair" for her golden hair, she was born 25 March {{SR|1421|n}} by [[Shire Calendar|Shire Reckoning]] (which was {{TA|3021}}), which was at the same time the first day of the [[Fourth Age]] in Gondor. Elanor was also the only one of Samwise's children known to the Ringbearer, [[Frodo Baggins]], and her name was a suggestion by him.<ref name="Havens"/><br />
<br />
In {{SR|1436}} Elanor became a maid of honor to Queen [[Arwen|Arwen Evenstar]], and in {{SR|1451|n}} she married [[Fastred of Greenholm]]. [[Fourth Age 34|Four years later]], Fastred was named [[Warden of Westmarch]] by the [[Thain]] at the request of Samwise. Elanor and her husband then moved to the [[Undertowers]] on the [[Tower Hills]] where their family (becoming known as the [[Fairbairn Family|Fairbairns of the Towers]]) would live for many generations.<br />
<br />
After her father's passing to the [[Undying Lands]] in {{SR|1482|n}}, Elanor and her line became the keepers of the [[Red Book of Westmarch]]. Her two children were [[Elfstan Fairbairn|Elfstan]], born in {{SR|1454|n}},<ref>{{App|Later}}</ref> and [[Fíriel Fairbairn|Fíriel]].<ref>{{AB|Preface}}, note 2</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name is a reference to the ''[[Elanor (flower)|sun-star]]'', a little golden flower blooming in the land of [[Lothlórien]] — this perfectly satisfied Sam's desire for a name that was both [[Elvish]] and yet at the same time a simple flower-name as many hobbit-lasses had.<ref name="Havens">{{RK|Havens}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Other versions of the Legendarium==<br />
Besides her presence as an infant in the last chapter of the published ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', and the details noted in the appendices of that book, Elanor's most significant role was in the two versions of the written but unpublished [[The Epilogue|epilogue]] of ''The Lord of the Rings''. In that epilogue Elanor talks with her father about the importance of the events that transpired in the story and also about the coming of King [[Aragorn|Elessar]] and Queen Arwen for a visit. Elanor's affectionate name for her father is "Sam-dad", while Sam calls her "''Elanorellë''".<ref name="Epilogue"/><br />
<br />
==Portrayal in adaptations==<br />
'''1981: [[The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1981 radio series)]]:'''<br />
:Elanor can be heard crying as Frodo ([[Ian Holm]]) tells Sam ([[Bill Nighy]]) that he must go on with his life. The crying is actually by Holm's son, [[Harry Holm|Harry]]. <br />
<br />
'''2003: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King]]'':'''<br />
:Elanor was played by [[Alexandra Astin]], the daughter of [[Sean Astin]].<br />
<br />
'''2010: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest]]'':'''<br />
:Elanor is available as a second player, playing Gandalf to [[Frodo Gardner|Frodo]]'s Aragorn. She wears a wizard's hat and a stick to serve as staff.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Star of Elendil''' or '''Elendilmir''' was the name given to two noble star-shaped white gems. Both of these gems were set on ''[[mithril]]'' fillets.<ref name="Gladden">{{UT|Gladden}}</ref> Because of its association with [[Elendil]] and the royalty of [[Arnor]], it was also referred to as '''Star of the North Kingdom''' and '''Star of the North'''. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===The first Elendilmir===<br />
The first jewel dated back to the early centuries of [[Númenor]], and belonged to [[Silmariën]], the daughter of King [[Tar-Elendil]]. From her, it passed to her descendants the [[Lords of Andúnië]].<ref name="Gladden"/> The last Lord was [[Amandil]], whose son [[Elendil]] escaped the [[Downfall of Númenor]] and became High King of the [[Dúnedain]] in [[Middle-earth]]. He wore the Star of Elendil on his brow in place of a crown, as did his son [[Isildur]] after him.<ref name=eriador>{{App|Eriador}}</ref><br />
<br />
Isildur had only been King for two years when he was waylaid by [[Orcs]] and lost in the [[Anduin|Great River]] in the [[Disaster of the Gladden Fields]]. When he put on [[the One Ring]] to escape from the battle he became invisible but the Elendilmir did not, blazing instead like a red and wrathful star. Much later the Elendilmir was found by [[Saruman]]'s trackers who had been sent to find [[the One Ring]]. They did not discover the Ring but they brought to him the Star of Elendil and other things.<ref name="Gladden"/><br />
<br />
===The second Elendilmir===<br />
The original Elendilmir was lost with Isildur, and so a copy was made by the elven smiths of [[Rivendell]] for his son [[Valandil (King of Arnor)|Valandil]]. This second Star of Elendil became the royal symbol of the [[Arnor|North-kingdom]] along with the [[Sceptre of Annúminas]]. After that kingdom's fall it remained an heirloom of the [[Heir of Isildur|Heirs of Isildur]] and kept in [[Rivendell]].<ref name=eriador/> It remained in Isildur's line down to the time of [[Aragorn]],<ref name="Gladden"/> who wore it during the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]].<ref>{{RK|V6}}</ref><br />
<br />
After the [[War of the Ring]], King Elessar ordered the restoration of Orthanc and then the original Elendilmir was found. As Elessar took up the kingship of [[Arnor]] he wore the original Elendilmir upon his brow. He would only wear it again on high days, whilst on other occasions he would wear the second Elendilmir that had descended to him.<ref name="UTIsen">{{UT|Isen}}, Appendix (ii)</ref><ref name="Gladden"/><br />

'''Arvedui''' ({{TA|1864}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, p. 195</ref> – {{TA|1975|n}},<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref> died aged 111) was the fifteenth, and last, king of [[Arthedain]], succeeding his father, [[Araphant]], upon his death in 1964.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Birth and Early Life===<br />
Arvedui's name meant "Last King" in [[Sindarin]], and he was named so due to a prophecy by [[Malbeth|Malbeth the Seer]] at Arvedui's birth spoken to his father, [[Araphant]]: {{quote|Arvedui you shall call him, for he will be the last in Arthedain. Though a choice will come to the Dúnedain, and if they take the one that seems less hopeful, then your son will change his name and become king of a great realm. If not, then much sorrow and many lives of men shall pass, until the Dúnedain arise and are united again.|[[Malbeth]]<ref name="Gondor">{{App|Gondor}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
Arvedui married [[Fíriel]], the daughter of the king of [[Gondor]], [[Ondoher]], in {{TA|1940|n}}, securing the link between Gondor and Arthedain after years of estrangement. Four years later, Ondoher was killed in a battle with the [[Wainriders]], and died without a male heir. Arvedui sent messages to Gondor claiming the kingship of Gondor as a descendent of [[Isildur]] and as the husband of [[Fíriel]], who, under [[Law of Succession in Númenor|old Númenórean law]], should have become the first ruling queen. In {{TA|1945|n}} the [[Council of Gondor]], persuaded by the Steward [[Pelendur]], voted against Arvedui's claim in favour of [[Eärnil II|Eärnil]] - the distant relative of the king and the victorious general in the war on the Wainriders.<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
===Life as King===<br />
<!--"See also" in Eriador#Destruction of Arnor links here--><br />
[[File:Steamey - Arvedui.jpg|thumb|left|Steamey - ''Arvedui'']]<br />
When Arvedui became king in {{TA|1964|n}}, the kingdom was already in a bad state, struggling to hold back the forces of [[Angmar]]. In {{TA|1974|n}} the [[Witch-king]] descended from the north, capturing [[Fornost]] and pushing most of the [[Dúnedain]] over the [[Lhûn|Lune]]. Arvedui and his men, rescued several heirlooms of Arnor such as the [[Ring of Barahir]] and ''[[palantíri]]'' of [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]] and [[Annúminas]]. They held out on the [[North Downs]] but fled north and hid in old [[Dwarf|dwarven]] mines in the [[Blue Mountains]] before being forced to seek the aid of the [[Lossoth]] in the Ice-bay of [[Forochel]] due to hunger.<ref name="Eriador">{{App|Eriador}}</ref><br />
<br />
The snowmen were unmoved by the Arnorians's jewels but helped the gaunt king and his men out of pity and out of fear of their weapons, giving them food and building them snow-huts. Arvedui and his men had to stay there as their horses had perished, and kept a fire constantly alight waiting for help. That winter was especially long and the ices persisted. In {{TA|1975|n}}, when [[Círdan]] heard from Arvedui's son, [[Aranarth]], of his plight, he sent a ship to Forochel to find him. When the ship arrived in March of that year, the ice-men were afraid for no ship had been seen in those water in living memory, and the leader of the snowmen counselled Arvedui:{{quote|Do not mount on this sea-monster! If they have them, let the seamen bring us food and other things that we need, and you may stay here till the Witch-king goes home. For in summer his power wanes; but now his breath is deadly, and his cold arm is long.|Chief of the Lossoth<ref name="Eriador"/>}}<br />
However, Arvedui did not heed their advice and gave them his ring, the [[Ring of Barahir]], as a token of his thanks. When the ship set sail a great wind came from the north and the hull of the ship was broken on some ice, thus the last king of Arthedain died, and with him the two ''[[palantíri]]'' were lost.<ref name="Eriador"/><br />
<br />
===After Arvedui's Death===<br />
In {{TA|1973|n}}, Gondor had received word from Arthedain of their difficulties, and not forgetting their ancient kinship, [[Eärnil II]], king of Gondor, sent as great a fleet as he could spare captained by his son [[Eärnur]]. By the time the fleet arrived, Arthedain was already defeated, and Arvedui had already perished. <br />
<br />
However, in order to finally defeat this evil, Eärnur, Círdan and [[Glorfindel]] captained a host from Gondor, [[Lindon]] and [[Rivendell]] and marched across Eriador in such a great force that Angmar was utterly defeated without a single orc from that realm left to the west of the [[Misty Mountains]].<ref name="Gondor"/><br />
<br />
Despite the eventual victory over Angmar, Arnor was utterly defeated, and the Dúnedain of the North were a scattered and [[Rangers of the North|wandering people]] of which there were few. The line of kings continued, however, in [[Aranarth]] who took the title of [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] all the way down to [[Aragorn|Aragorn Elessar]]; and when Aragorn claimed the throne of Gondor he did so as both the heir of Isildur and Anárion due to the fact he was descended from Fíriel - a claim none of the heirs of Arvedui forgot.<br />
<br />
As such, Malbeth's prophecy proved true, for Arvedui was indeed the last King of Arthedain; likewise, the last king of Gondor was Eärnur who was killed by the Witch-king. There would not be another king in the north until [[Aragorn|Elessar]] reunited the thrones of Gondor and Arnor in the [[Reunited Kingdom]].<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
Arvedui's name is [[Sindarin]] for "Last King" from ''[[ar]]'' meaning "royal, king", and ''[[medui]]'' (becoming [[Lenition|lenited]] to ''vedui'') meaning "last".<br />

'''Vëantur''' ([[Quenya|Q]], pron. {{IPA|[veˈantur]}}) was the [[Captain of the King's Ships]] during the reign of [[Tar-Elendil]], the fourth [[King of Númenor]].<br />
<br />
In {{SA|600}} Vëantur commanded the ''[[Entulessë]]'' or "''Return''", the first [[Númenóreans|Númenórean]] ship to venture back to [[Middle-earth]].<ref>{{App|SA}}</ref> He sailed into the [[Grey Havens]] and became acquainted with [[Círdan]]<ref>{{UT|Numenor}}</ref>, the Elven King [[Gil-galad]], and [[Pre-Númenóreans|twelve Men]] from [[Eriador]] who came to see those "who had returned from death in the deeps of the Sea".<ref name="Note3"/><br />
<br />
Vëantur's daughter, [[Almarian]], married [[Tar-Meneldur|Meneldur]], who would be the fifth King of Númenor, and bore him a son, [[Tar-Aldarion|Aldarion]]. Vëantur greatly loved his grandson and welcomed him often to his house, where Aldarion learned how to row, to sail, and then to captain his own ship. In {{SA|725}}, when Aldarion was twenty-five years old, the aging Vëantur invited him to sail to Middle-earth to meet Círdan and Gil-galad. Aldarion obtained Meneldur's permission and in the great ship ''[[Númerrámar]]'' or "West-wings", Vëantur and Aldarion proceeded to journey to the eastern lands on a voyage that lasted two years.<ref>{{UT|Wife}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
Vëantur's name means either "Commander of [[Men]]" or "Manly Commander" in [[Quenya]] (from ''[[vëan]]'', 'man', 'manliness' and ''[[-ntur]]'', meaning 'commander').<br />

'''Doriath''' ([[Sindarin|S]], pron. {{IPA|[ˈdorjaθ]}}) was the land of the [[Sindar]]. It was called the Fenced Land, for its queen, [[Melian]], put a girdle of enchantment about it, so that none could enter without King [[Thingol]]'s permission.<br />
==Geography==<br />
Doriath was a realm of forests about the great river [[Sirion]], with in it the forests ''Neldoreth'' (also ''[[Taur-na-Neldor]]'', the northern [[Beeches|beech]] forest), ''[[Nivrim]]'' (also West-march, an oak forest), and ''[[Forest of Region|Region]]''. Additionally, the forests of ''[[Brethil]]'' and ''[[Nan Elmoth]]'' were held as part of Doriath, but these last two lay outside the Girdle of Melian. King Elu [[Thingol]] of Doriath, also High King of the Sindar, saw all of Beleriand as his realm, from the [[Gelion]] to [[Belegaer]].<br />
==History==<br />
The [[Vanyar]] and [[Noldor]] had passed by it on the [[Great Journey]], and had been ferried across on [[Tol Eressëa]] by the time the [[Teleri]] arrived. Then their lord [[Elwë]] was lost in Nan Elmoth, and when [[Ulmo]] returned for them a part remained behind. They became known as the Sindar or Grey Elves, and when Thingol returned he became their king, ruling from Doriath.<br />
<br />
Doriath was originally named '''''[[Doriath#Etymology|Eglador]]''''',<ref name=SSindar/> but in the last years before the rising of the [[Sun]], attacks by [[Orcs]] and other [[Morgoth|Melkor]]'s creatures began to increase in Beleriand, and Melian fenced the forests of Neldoreth, Region, and Nivrim. Thingol then called all the [[Sindar]] to Doriath, but many remained in the wild. After the [[First Battle of Beleriand]], many [[Green-elves|Laiquendi]] removed to Doriath.<br />
<br />
[[Eöl]] the Dark Elf leased Nan Elmoth from Thingol, having paid the sword [[Anglachel]] for it.<br />
<br />
The [[Dwarves]] of [[Belegost]] and [[Nogrod]] were contracted to build the halls of [[Menegroth]], which became Thingol's capital.<br />
<br />
When the Noldor returned to Middle-earth after the rising of the Sun, Thingol refused to allow them in Doriath, with the exception of the children of [[Finarfin]], who were related to him by his brother [[Olwë]].<br />
<br />
When later [[Men]] arrived in Beleriand, they were also refused entry, but at [[Finrod]]'s request the [[Haladin]] were allowed to live in [[Brethil]].<br />
<br />
[[Beren]], son of [[Barahir]] and lord of the [[House of Bëor|First House of Men]], passed through the Girdle as Melian had foretold, and arrived in Neldoreth. There Thingol's daughter Lúthien fell in love with him. After the Quest for the [[Silmarils|Silmaril]] the Wolf [[Carcharoth]] also breached the Girdle, but Thingol, Beren, and Thingol's captains [[Beleg]] and [[Mablung]] hunted and killed the beast.<br />
<br />
[[Túrin]] was sent to Doriath, and lived there until he came of age, when he fled from the land. Later his mother and sister, [[Morwen]] and [[Nienor]] lived there, until they were lost.<br />
<br />
[[Húrin]] brought the treasure of [[Nargothrond]] to Doriath after the fall of Finrod's realm, and Thingol enlisted the Dwarves of [[Nogrod]] to combine the Silmaril of Beren and Lúthien with the [[Nauglamír]], the Dwarves' Necklace. The Dwarves then attacked Thingol, and slew him, stealing the necklace, during the first Sack of Doriath. Melian then left, and with her the protective Girdle.<br />
<br />
Doriath was briefly restored under Beren and Lúthien's son [[Dior|Dior Eluchíl]], but he was attacked and killed by the [[sons of Fëanor]] in the [[Second Kinslaying]]. Afterwards Doriath remained abandoned until it was sunk along with most of the rest of Beleriand.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
<br />
''Doriath'' is a [[Sindarin]] name meaning "Land of the Fence"<ref name=silmindex>{{S|Index}}</ref><ref name=WJ/> or "Land of the [[Girdle of Melian|Girdle]]"<ref name=SSindar>{{S|Sindar}}</ref>. The name consists of the elements ''[[dôr]]'' + ''[[iâth]]''.<ref name=WJ>{{WJ|Quendi}}, pp. 370, 378</ref><br />
<br />
The earlier name of Doriath, ''Eglador'', probably means either "Land of the Forsaken"<ref name=silmindex/> or "Land of the [[Elves]]"{{fact}} in [[Sindarin]].<br />
<br />
==Other versions of the legendarium==<br />
<br />
'''Artanor''' ("The Land Beyond") was in early versions of the [[legendarium]] the name for what was later called Doriath.<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]]; [[Christopher Tolkien]] (ed), ''[[The Book of Lost Tales]]''</ref><br />

<br />
==Plot==<br />
[[Bilbo Baggins]] and the [[Thorin and Company|Dwarves]] watch from the [[Lonely Mountain]] as the [[Dragons|Dragon]] [[Smaug]] destroys [[Lake-town]]. [[Bard]] breaks out of prison and kills Smaug with the [[Black Arrow]] (brought to him by his son [[Bain]]), whose falling body crushes the fleeing [[Master of Lake-town]]. Bard - chosen as the new leader - and the people of Lake-town seek refuge in the ruins of [[Dale]]. Upon learning of her banishment from the [[Woodland Realm]], [[Tauriel]] travels to investigate [[Gundabad]] with [[Legolas]] (having previously tracked [[Bolg]] there).<br />
<br />
Upon arriving at [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], [[Fíli]], [[Kíli]], [[Bofur]], and [[Óin]] are informed by Bilbo that [[Thorin]] has been inflicted with Smaug's "dragon sickness" as he searched for the [[Arkenstone]]. It is revealed that Bilbo actually stole the Arkenstone from Smaug, but knows it should be hidden from Thorin, who orders the entrance of the Lonely Mountain be sealed off.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, having become a prisoner in [[Dol Guldur]], [[Gandalf]] is saved by [[Galadriel]]. She carries an unconscious Gandalf into a more open area while being taunted by the [[Sauron#Sauron's Return|Necromancer]]. [[Elrond]], [[Saruman]], and [[Radagast]] arrive to help rescue the Grey [[Wizards|Wizard]]. Gandalf is saved by Galadriel and given to Radagast while Elrond and Saruman hold off the [[Nazgûl]]. [[Sauron]] appears to them with the Nine at his side. Using the power of [[Nenya]] and her [[Phial of Galadriel|Phial]], Galadriel takes on the Dark Lord and the Ringwraiths, banishing them out of the fortress. Galadriel falls back fainting as Elrond supports her, realizing she has used her full strength in order to cast him away. Though Elrond believes they must warn the [[Free peoples]] of the enemy's return, Saruman tells him to take Galadriel to safety while he deals with Sauron.<br />
<br />
Radagast provides Gandalf a horse and his staff before riding to Dale. At that time, [[Azog]] the Defiler approaches the Lonely Mountain with his vast [[Orcs|Orc]] army while learning from Bolg that an [[Elves|Elf]] army under the lead of [[Thranduil]] is also approaching. Azog tells Bolg to head to Gundabad and ready their other army. Following Bolg to the fortress of Gundabad, Legolas and Tauriel see Bolg with another army of Orcs and hundreds of war-bred [[bats]]. They decide to return to Lake-town to warn the others.<br />
<br />
When Thranduil's army arrives in Dale, he forges an allegiance with Bard to claim a necklace of white gems from Thorin's treasure. Though Bard attempts to reason with Thorin to avoid further bloodshed, the stubborn [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] refuses to listen, much to his Company's dismay. As they prepare for the battle, Thorin gives Bilbo a ''[[mithril]]'' [[Mithril#The Mithril Coat|vest]]. Thorin begins to talk like Smaug, telling Bilbo that he will never share the treasure with Bard and Thranduil, not wanting to part with a single coin.<br />
<br />
After Gandalf arrives at Dale, Bilbo sneaks out of the Lonely Mountain to hand the Arkenstone over to Thranduil and Bard. Inside the camp, Thranduil reminds Gandalf that he is the one who started all this and he will finish it. The next day, the Elf army and the armed people of Lake-town gather at the entrance of the Lonely Mountain to confront the Dwarves. Thranduil and Bard ride at the front, where Thorin threatens to kill them if they get any closer. Bard unveils the Arkenstone at the gates of Erebor and Thorin learns of Bilbo's actions and almost kills the [[Hobbits|Hobbit]]. Luckily, Gandalf approaches at the front with Bard and Thranduil, telling Thorin that Bilbo is his to keep. The other Dwarves hold back their leader so Bilbo can escape down the wall to Gandalf. Then, a Dwarf company under [[Dáin Ironfoot]] arrives and attacks the Elves, but Azog's Orc army unexpectedly arrives through underground tunnels created by [[were-worms]]. <br />
<br />
Thus, the Battle of the Five Armies begins as Azog sends one half of his army to attack the Lonely Mountain with Dáin's force defending it. While Thranduil assists Dáin, Azog sends the rest of his forces to attack Dale with Bilbo, Gandalf, Bard, and the other Elves coming to its defense. Gandalf, Thranduil, Bard, and Dain do the best they can to hold off the Orc armies as more and more come, killing more Dwarves, [[Men]], and Elves. Meanwhile, [[Alfrid]] takes a pile of treasure and hides in an abandoned catapult, which flings him into a troll's mouth, killing both of them.<br />
<br />
Inside the Lonely Mountain, Thorin eventually overcomes his madness after a lengthy hallucination. Thorin and Company burst out of the Mountain and join the battle, much to Dáin's delight. While the others aid what remains of Dáin's forces, Thorin, Balin, Dwalin, Fíli, and Kíli ride to Ravenhill in a Dwarven chariot, killing numerous Orcs, [[Wargs]] and [[Trolls]] in the process. At the same time, Legolas and Tauriel set off for Ravenhill with Bilbo following to warn the Dwarves of the second Orc army. Azog captures Fíli and stabs him in the back before throwing him off of a cliff. Bilbo is knocked out, while Bolg stabs Kíli in the chest. After Legolas kills Bolg, the Great [[Eagles]] arrive, led by Radagast and [[Beorn]], to assist in the battle, quickly decimating the Orc army. When Bilbo regains consciousness, he finds that Thorin has killed Azog but was mortally wounded in the process and dies soon after making his peace with the Hobbit. Sometime after, a disillusioned Legolas decides to leave his father's Realm. Thranduil urges him to go North to meet with one of the [[Dúnedain]], a Man who goes by the name of [[Strider (Aragorn)|"Strider"]]. Thranduil, after seeing Tauriel kiss Kíli's dead body, finally accepts Tauriel's love for Kíli and agrees with her plan to bury the Dwarf.<br />
<br />
Bilbo bids farewell to the surviving members of Thorin's Company, telling them they are welcome to join him for tea whenever they are in [[the Shire]], to which he returns with Gandalf. As they part on the outskirts of the Shire, Gandalf reveals that he knows of the [[The One Ring|Ring]] that Bilbo found in the Goblin tunnels (though unaware that it was the One Ring) before they part ways on good terms. Bilbo's story ends when he returns to [[Bag End]] and finds the townspeople are auctioning off his belongings and are about to sell his house. The scene transitions to Bilbo on the day of his 111th birthday when he receives a visit from Gandalf, ending where ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' begins.<br />

==Deviations from the source material==<br />
''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'' covers the final seven chapters of ''[[The Hobbit]]'' with a few elements added from the [[The Lord of the Rings Appendices|Appendices]] from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. While it generally follows the story, a number of liberties were still taken:<br />
<br />
*There is no [[Thrushes|thrush]] telling [[Bard]] of [[Smaug]]'s weak point while trying to kill him (having been replaced by the legend that [[Girion]] had loosened a scale on the [[Dragons|Dragon]]'s breast in the [[The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug|previous film]]). Also, his son [[Bain]] assists Bard by bringing him the last [[Black Arrow]].<br />
*Smaug directly confronts Bard after several of the Bowman's arrows deflect his hide, whereas the Dragon was unaware of him and was shot down while airborne in the book.<br />
*The [[Master of Lake-town]] dies by Smaug falling on his boat while trying to escape [[Lake-town]] instead of starvation in the desert.<br />
*The storyline concerning [[Legolas]] and [[Tauriel]] (who is an original character) both riding to [[Gundabad]] where they discover a second Orc army - led by [[Bolg]] - is headed to [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]] (along with thousands of [[bats]]) is invented for the film. It's this army that is designated as the fifth army in the film's eponymous battle instead of the [[Wargs|Warg]] army, as in the book.<br />
*Also at Gundabad, Legolas divulges to Tauriel that his mother had been killed there, though there is never any mention of her in [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien's]] writings.<br />
*As all of the members of [[Thorin and Company]] reached the [[Lonely Mountain]] together in the first place; in the books, [[Óin]], [[Bofur]], [[Fíli]] and [[Kíli]] are not later coming to the Mountain alone.<br />
*[[Galadriel]] does not free [[Gandalf]] in [[Dol Guldur]] in the books, as he never got captured in them, and he is not told to be too weak to actively participate in the [[Attack on Dol Guldur]]. Also, the [[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (extended edition)|Extended Edition]] shows an Orc attempting to take [[Narya]] from Gandalf at Sauron's command, although Sauron never exactly knew where the [[Three Rings]] were or who carried them. Furthermore, it is said that only [[Ring-bearers]] are able to see the Rings while they are worn by other Ring-bearers.<br />
*In the books, there is no hint that the [[Nazgûl]] were present during the Attack on Dol Guldur launched by the [[White Council]]. <br />
*Sauron says "The [[Angmar|Kingdom of Angmar]] [shall] rise," yet the source material gives no hint that Sauron intended to restore the Kingdom of Angmar. <br />
*In ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', Gandalf points out at the [[Council of Elrond]] that the victory was thanks to the devices of [[Saruman]]. In this film, however, it is chiefly Galadriel who expels [[Sauron]] with her [[Phial of Galadriel|phial]].<br />
*The members of the White Council don't realize that Sauron has returned until they encounter him in Dol Guldur, but the books have Gandalf tell the other members this fact already 90 years prior to the Attack on Dol Guldur.<br />
*In the Extended Edition, Radagast gives his staff to Gandalf, since Sauron destroyed Gandalf's staff in their fight in the previous film.<br />
*[[Thranduil]] wishes to claim a particular Elven necklace of white gems from the [[Lonely Mountain]]. It is revealed that they were originally for his wife (a point which is invented for the film).<br />
*When Bilbo sneaks out of Erebor at night in the film's Extended Edition, [[Bofur]] is at watch instead of [[Bombur]]. Bilbo does not offer to relieve Bofur, but Bofur rather appears to somewhat understand Bilbo's motives and knowingly lets him go.<br />
*Gandalf says that Sauron wants to conquer the Lonely Mountain because of its "strategic position." In the books, Gandalf indeed fears that Sauron could ally with the Dragon, but the [[Dark Lord]] isn't concerned with the [[Battle of Five Armies]] or Erebor.<br />
*[[Azog]] isn't present at this point in the books, as he was killed during the [[Battle of Azanulbizar]].<br />
*The huge animals called "[[Were-worms]]," which burrow tunnels to Erebor through which the [[Orcs|Orc]] armies travel, never appear in that capacity in any of Tolkien's writings.<br />
*The Orcs have a watchtower on [[Ravenhill]] - which is overseen by Azog - that gives semaphore signals to the rest of the army.<br />
*Instead of a red axe, [[Dáin Ironfoot]] wields a red war hammer.<br />
*Since [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] is unconscious for most of the battle in the book and Tolkien offers only a few retrospective details of what happened, most things in the film's battle are invented, such the presence of [[Trolls]], [[Ogres]], war machinery, and battle rams.<br />
*At one point in the battle, the women of Lake-town decide to take up arms and fight alongside the men.<br />
*Instead of dying while defending their mortally wounded uncle, Fíli and Kíli are slain by Azog and Bolg, respectively, on Ravenhill before [[Thorin]] ever receives such injury.<br />
*Legolas returns [[Orcrist]] to Thorin during the battle by throwing it at (and stabbing) an Orc that Thorin was combating at that moment. In the book, it is in Thranduil's keeping until he lays it on Thorin's tomb at his funeral.<br />
*Instead of [[Beorn]] killing Bolg, it is Legolas who does so.<br />
*Thorin kills Azog after the Pale Orc mortally wounds him.<br />
*Thorin dies on Ravenhill without Beorn ever taking him to safety (though he still makes peace with Bilbo before doing so).<br />
*When Legolas informs his father he will not be returning to [[Mirkwood]], Thranduil urges him to find a [[Men|Man]] known as [[Strider (Aragorn)|"Strider"]]. Thranduil had little to nothing to do with the [[Rangers of the North]] in the books, and, during the events of ''The Hobbit'', Aragorn is a mere 10 years old in [[legendarium]] (but was said to be 87 in the [[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (extended edition)|Extended Edition]] of ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'' due to the omission of the 17-year gap between [[Bilbo's Farewell Party]] and Gandalf's return to [[the Shire]] in ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'').<br />
*As in the 1977 [[Rankin/Bass]] [[The Hobbit (1977 film)|animated film]], most of Bilbo's return journey is omitted, as is Gandalf and [[Balin]]'s subsequent visit to [[Bag End]] years later. The scene of Bilbo's belongings being auctioned off upon his return, however, remains.<br />
*The film ends with a callback to Gandalf's arrival at Bag End for Bilbo's Farewell Party at the beginning of ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring''.<br />

'''Kíli''' ({{TA|2864}} – {{TA|2941|n}}<ref name="Line">{{App|Durin}}, The Line of the Dwarves of Erebor</ref> 77 years old) was the son of [[Dís]], the sister of King [[Thorin]], and brother of [[Fíli]]. <br />
<br />
Kíli was one of the thirteen [[Dwarves]] who took part in the quest for [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], which was [[Bilbo Baggins]]'s great adventure. The brothers were the youngest of [[Thorin and Company]] by some 50 years,<ref name="Hill">{{H|Hill}}</ref> with Kíli being five years younger than his brother.<ref name="Line"/> The two brothers were inseparable throughout the adventure. <br />
<br />
The brothers, along with Thorin himself, did not survive the [[Battle of Five Armies]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Before the quest to Erebor, Fíli and Kíli probably lived in the [[Blue Mountains]] where their uncle resided after the disappearance of [[Thráin|Thráin II]].<ref name="Line"/> As Thorin's sister-sons, they accompanied their uncle when he set out to challenge the [[Dragons|dragon]] [[Smaug]].<br />
<br />
===The Quest of Erebor===<br />
<br />
When Bilbo first met Kíli and Fíli (in the third group of Dwarves to arrive at [[Bag End]]) they wore blue hoods. After supper, when the Dwarves made music, Kíli and Fíli played small fiddles that they had brought in bags.<ref>{{H|Party}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Early on the night when the company encountered the [[trolls]] one of the ponies became frightened and bolted into the river; Kíli and Fíli nearly drowned getting the beast out of the water.<ref>{{H|Mutton}}</ref><br />
<br />
Up in the [[Misty Mountains]] during the thunder-battle the two brothers, being the youngest Dwarves with the keenest eyes, were sent ahead to look for shelter. They found a small dry cave which was perfect for the company (until the [[Orcs|Goblins]] arrived). After [[Gandalf]] had rescued the company and was counting the members he found Kíli and Fíli, as usual, paired together.<ref name="Hill"/><br />
<br />
When the company rushed up into trees to escape the [[wargs]] Kíli and Fíli scrambled to the top of a tall larch.<ref>{{H|Pan}}</ref> The next day, when the company arrived at [[Beorn]]'s hall, Kíli and Fíli were again together as the fourth pair of Dwarves to appear during Gandalf's story.<ref>{{H|Queer}}</ref><br />
<br />
When Bilbo spied the boat on the far side of the [[Enchanted River]], Fíli managed to snag it with a hook on a rope but could not pull it across. Kíli came to his aid first, followed by [[Óin]] and [[Glóin]], before the boat came loose (after its painter snapped).<ref name="Flies">{{H|Flies}}</ref><br />
<br />
At the opening of the barrels after the escape from the halls of the [[Thranduil|Elvenking]], Kíli and Fíli came out smiling since they were young and had but few bruises. The two brothers helped Thorin and Bilbo locate and free the other Dwarves. Next, they accompanied Thorin and Bilbo to the bridge into [[Lake-town|Esgaroth]] while the others recovered.<ref>{{H|Welcome}}</ref><br />
[[Image:Angelo Montanini - Kili.jpg|thumb|right|Angelo Montanini - ''Kili'']]<br />
When the company reached the Lonely Mountain, Thorin sent out a scouting party to view the Front Gate (or where it had once stood). Kíli and Fíli went along with [[Balin]] and Bilbo on this expedition. On another scouting trip Bilbo was with Kíli and Fíli when the three discovered the rough steps that led up the mountain to the little bay that contained the secret door.<ref>{{H|Doorstep}}</ref><br />
<br />
Of the thirteen Dwarves, Kíli and Fíli looked uncomfortable when Bilbo asked for volunteers to accompany him on the first trip into the mountain (only Balin went with the hobbit for part of the way). Once the dragon woke up though Kíli and Fíli, along with Bilbo and Balin, were the first to go in the tunnel (sent in by Thorin).<ref>{{H|Inside}}</ref><br />
<br />
While searching the treasure when the full company descended into Erebor, Kíli and Fíli were in such exuberant spirits that they took down magic golden harps and played music on them.<ref>{{H|Home}}</ref><br />
<br />
Kíli was slain with his brother in the [[Battle of Five Armies]], while defending their mortally wounded uncle.<Ref>{{H|Return}}</ref> After Thorin's death, the brothers would have been the only remaining descendants of [[Thrór]]'s line. Their deaths ended the dynasty, and the title of King under the Mountain passed to [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin II]]. It was their heroic last stand that made their mother the only [[Dwarf-women|Dwarf-woman]] to be mentioned in the genealogies.<Ref>{{App|Durin}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
''Kíli'' is a dwarf from the ''[[Völuspá|Dvergatal]]''. It can mean "Wedge" or "One who uses a wedge"; it is of Frisian or Low German origin rather than Old Norse.<ref>Chester Nathan Gould, "Dwarf-Names: A Study in Old Icelandic Religion", published in ''Publications of the Modern Language Association of America'', Vol 44 (1929), issue #4, pp. 939-967</ref><br />

:Because [[Ori]] was made the youngest of the 13 Dwarves in the ''Hobbit'' films, Kíli is presumably the second youngest.

When struck with a poisoned arrow by [[Bolg]] during the Company's escape from the Wood-elves' custody via wine barrels, it is she who ultimately heals him with [[Athelas]]. Due to said injury, Thorin did not allow him to journey with the others up to the Lonely Mounatin from [[Lake-town]]. [[Óin]] and Fíli then both opted to also stay behind in order to look after him. As he and the other Dwarves make their way to the [[Lonely Mountain]] after [[Smaug]]'s demise, Kíli shares a tender moment with Tauriel, and gives her the talisman that his mother had given to him. In the [[Battle of Five Armies]], he assists [[Thorin]] (along with [[Fíli]] and [[Dwalin]]) in attempting to kill the [[Orcs|Orc]] army leader [[Azog]] on [[Ravenhill]]. However, after witnessing Azog kill his brother, he goes into a rage, attempting to charge the Pale Orc, only to instead come across Tauriel getting severely beaten by Bolg, and proceeds to attack him. Kíli is stabbed to death by Bolg, and a heartbroken Tauriel returns the talisman to his lifeless hand before leaving his side.<br />

'''Frodo Baggins''' was a [[Hobbits|hobbit]] of the [[Third Age]], the most famous of all Hobbits in the histories for his leading role in the [[Quest of the Ring]]. During this epic quest, he bore [[the One Ring]] to [[Mount Doom]] and there destroyed it, giving him renown like no other [[Hobbits|Halfling]] throughout [[Middle-earth]]. He is also peculiar for being, as a [[Ring-bearers|Ring-bearer]], one of the three Hobbits who sailed from Middle-earth to [[Aman]], there to die in peace. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Childhood and youth===<br />
Frodo, the child of the respectable [[Drogo Baggins]] and [[Primula Brandybuck]], was born on [[22 September]] of {{SR|1368}}. After his parents died in a boating accident, Frodo went to live in [[Brandy Hall]] with his mother’s relatives, the [[Brandybucks]]. He grew up under the guardianship of the [[Master of Buckland]] [[Rorimac Brandybuck|Rorimac "Goldfather" Brandybuck]], who was his uncle. Frodo was a bit of a troublesome lad;{{fact}} he was once caught stealing [[mushrooms]] from [[Farmer Maggot]], who in return thrashed Frodo and set his three dogs to chase Frodo from [[Bamfurlong]] to [[Bucklebury Ferry]].<br />
<br />
Frodo stayed in Buckland until his uncle [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] adopted him and took him in to live at [[Bag End]], Bilbo's estate in [[Hobbiton]]. He enjoyed life with his "queer" Uncle Bilbo, with whom he shared the same birthday; Bilbo taught him to read, and told him stories of the past, even giving him some instruction in the [[elvish]] tongue. It is possible Bilbo even took his young cousin to see the [[Elves]] that wandered about outside [[the Shire]]. Bilbo made Frodo his heir, frustrating the attempts of the disagreeable [[Sackville-Baggins Family|Sackville-Baggins]]es, who coveted the estate of Bag End.<br />
<br />
Frodo and Bilbo were comfortable and well off until {{TA|3001}}. At this time, Bilbo threw an enormous [[Bilbo's Farewell Party|party]] to celebrate his 111th birthday, and Frodo's 33rd, the date of Frodo's coming of age. At this party Bilbo gave his farewell speech, and made his long planned "disappearance" and withdrawal from the Shire. Frodo, who had been informed beforehand of the "joke", as Bilbo called it, was spared the shock that afflicted the other assembled Hobbits. Frodo returned home as the new Master of Bag End, per [[Bilbo's will]]. He was greeted there by Gandalf, who informed him that, among other things, Frodo had inherited Bilbo's [[The One Ring|magic ring]].<br />
<br />
===Master of Bag End===<br />
[[File:Eric Faure-Brac - Bag End.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Eric Faure-Brac - ''Bag End'']]Frodo took charge of distributing the presents Bilbo had left for the other hobbits, a long and tiring task. The Baggins' old friend [[Gandalf]] the [[Wizards|Wizard]], who had come for the festivities, warned Frodo not to use the magic ring, and to keep it secret and safe. He then left back into the wide world, curiosity nagging his mind about the ring.<br />
<br />
Frodo, meanwhile, was quite well off. He lived in peace and respectability for seventeen years, when Gandalf returned with the dreadful revelation that the "magic ring" was really [[the One Ring]] of [[Sauron]], a thing of evil power thousands of years old. Furthermore, the Dark Lord was now aware of its survival, and would be searching for it, as [[Gollum]] had now revealed under torture that it was to be found in the Shire. After a long discussion and a test by fire, the two agreed that Frodo would have to leave the Shire for his own safety and [[Samwise Gamgee]] the gardener would go with him. Gandalf recommended Rivendell as a destination, as the road was likely safe and the haven good. He told Frodo to take the alias [[Mr. Underhill|Underhill]] abroad. Frodo was reluctant, but bought a house in [[Crickhollow]] as an excuse to head east.<br />
<br />
Gandalf stayed for two months while Frodo worked out the details. At the end of that time he left to "get some news", as rather disturbing tidings had come to his ears. He promised to be back for the farewell party. Meanwhile, Frodo was not aware that some of his closest friends were watching him; [[Fredegar Bolger|Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger]], his cousins [[Peregrin Took|Peregrin "Pippin" Took]], and [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck]], and Sam himself, knew that Frodo and Gandalf were in some trouble concerning the Ring, and that Frodo was preparing for a long adventure.<br />
<br />
As autumn passed, Frodo was waiting for Gandalf who did not return, and Frodo grew quite anxious. Merry and Fatty drove the cart of Frodo's belongings ahead, while Frodo still waited for Gandalf. At the last possible day he departed with Pippin and Sam.<br />
<br />
===Hobbiton to Crickhollow===<br />
[[File:Alan Lee - Feasting with the Elves.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Alan Lee]] - ''Feasting with the Elves'']]<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Last Sight of Hobbiton.jpg|thumb|left|220px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Last Sight of Hobbiton'']]Less than a day into their journeying, Frodo, strangely nervous, requested that the threesome hide upon the approach of a horseman. The rider was dressed in black, upon a black horse, making queer sniffing noises. Frodo felt the urge to put on the Ring and vanish, but just as he was giving in the rider departed at a trot. Samwise then remarked upon the [[Nazgûl|Black Rider]] that had spoken to his father, [[Gaffer Gamgee]], some time earlier. This made Frodo wish that he had waited for Gandalf.<br />
<br />
That night, they were again overtaken by a Black Horseman. This time it seemed to be able to sniff out their hiding place. But as it approached, it was driven away by the song of a group of [[Elves]]. Their leader, [[Gildor]], greeted the hobbits warmly, and lauded Frodo for his knowledge of their tongue. Frodo tried to get information from Gildor on the Black Riders, but the elf would tell him very little. Gildor foresaw that Frodo would have many dealings with the Riders in the future, and urged him to flee them whenever he met them. He and his party left the Hobbits before daybreak, while they slept.<br />
<br />
The next day the threesome agreed to stay off the road. After a brief scare when Sam sighted a Rider, they worried about losing their way. That evening they heard a terrible wail, and Frodo distinguished words in it. Before long they came to [[Bamfurlong]], the property of [[Farmer Maggot]]. Although Pippin knew Maggot, Frodo recalled a scare he had received at a young age after caught stealing the farmer’s mushrooms, being threatened with the dogs. He froze when the dogs came forth from the house, but Maggot's hospitality soon won him over. When Maggot told of a Black Rider who had stopped at his house asking for "Baggins," and made several shrewd guesses, Frodo grew uncomfortable. Maggot took them to [[Bucklebury Ferry]] in his wagon. There they joined up with Merry. As they were ferried across into [[Buckland]], they caught sight of a dark shape on the landing from which they had come.<br />
<br />
===Crickhollow to Bree===<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Under the Spell of the Barrow-wight.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Under the Spell of the Barrow-wight'']]<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Bathing at Crickhollow.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Bathing at Crickhollow'']]<br />
When they reached the house in Crickhollow, the other hobbits reveal their knowledge of the One Ring, and promise to stick with him on the road to [[Rivendell]]. The next morning, leaving Fatty to keep house, they plunged into the [[Old Forest]]. In time they were driven by the trees down to the [[Withywindle]], where they were ensnared by [[Old Man Willow]]. Rescued by [[Tom Bombadil]], the hobbits came to his house. There they met Tom's wife, [[Goldberry]], and Frodo was moved to poetry over her loveliness. He was interested in Bombadil himself, and several times tried to learn who he was. That night he dreamed of a white-haired figure on a pinnacle of stone, borne away by an eagle.<br />
<br />
The next day Frodo tried on the Ring, after finding it had no effect on Bombadil. Tom nevertheless could see him, for he was not subjected to the Ring’s power. That night he dreamed once more, a dream he never forgot.<br />
<br />
{{Blockquote|Frodo heard a sweet singing running in his mind: a song that seemed to come like a pale light behind a grey rain-curtain, and growing stronger to turn the veil all to glass and silver, until at last it was rolled back, and a far green country opened before him under a swift sunrise.|''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', [[Fog on the Barrow-downs]]}}<br />
<br />
After bidding Goldberry and Tom farewell, the Hobbits went on and passed through the [[barrow-downs]]. Getting lost in the mist, however, they were taken by the [[barrow-wights]], Frodo last of all. Frodo woke in the barrow to find the barrow-wight bending over his three friends. He rose and in a tremendous act of bravery and resilience took a sword and smote off the wight's hand. Then he summoned Bombadil with a [[Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!|song]] he had taught him, and Bombadil drove the wight away. Bombadil helped him wake Merry, Pippin, and Sam, gave them their ponies, and escorted them all to the road before turning his face back toward Withywindle. The hobbits, meanwhile, entered Bree and took lodging (at Bombadil’s recommendation) at [[The Prancing Pony]] inn, Frodo under the name of [[Mr. Underhill|Underhill]], as Gandalf had suggested.<br />
<br />
===Strider and Weathertop===<br />
While Merry went out to take a walk in the night air, the other hobbits came down to the common-room and were introduced by the landlord [[Barliman Butterbur]] to the gathering, Frodo under his alias. Frodo asked if Gandalf was present in Bree, only to learn that he had not yet arrived. While Pippin and Sam enjoyed the drink and conversation, Frodo remained withdrawn, soon falling into conversation with a curious [[Rangers of the North|ranger]] called [[Aragorn|Strider]], who gave him a warning about letting his friends talk to much. Pippin began to tell about [[Bilbo's Farewell Party|Bilbo's Birthday Party]], and Frodo, at Strider’s encouragement and in an attempt to prevent the name of Baggins from being raised, began to sing ''[[The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late]]''. This proved popular with the gathering, but unfortunately, as Frodo relaxed, he fell from the table and the Ring slipped on his finger, causing him to vanish.<br />
[[File:Peter Xavier Price - Strider in The Prancing Pony.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Peter Xavier Price]] - ''Strider in The Prancing Pony'']]<br />
[[File:John Howe - Against the Shadow.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[John Howe]] - ''Against the Shadow'']]<br />
Frodo crawled over to Strider's corner and slipped off the Ring, and said that he had rolled quickly to the side. The suspicious Breelanders, however, grew angry or frightened, and eventually all left the common-room. Frodo and his comrades retired to their room, where they found Strider waiting to talk to them. Strider was honest and blunt, telling what he had overheard and what he knew of them, as well as warning them of the Black Riders and traitors in Bree. He urged them to accept his aide by inviting him into the company. Frodo was leaning to believe the ranger when Butterbur broke in, giving Frodo the long-awaited letter from Gandalf, undelivered by Butterbur’s forgetfulness. After some little bit of light was shed on the situation to the innkeeper, he swore to help the hobbits in any way he could, as a friend of Gandalf and one very much afraid of Mordor. Frodo, reading the letter, learned that Gandalf recommended Strider as one to whom Frodo could go for help. After some further debate, Frodo agreed to let Strider lead them to Rivendell.<br />
<br />
Strider arranged for a deception, by moving them to a different room. The next morning, their ponies were gone and the room was ravaged. Butterbur paid for a [[Bill the Pony|replacement pony]], and the four hobbits and ranger set out into the Wilds. They passed through [[Chetwood]] and [[Midgewater Marshes]], and finally to the [[Weather Hills]] before coming up to [[Weathertop]]. Black Riders were sighted from the top of the cairn, and Strider counseled to remain where they were. Shortly after the Black Riders came, and Frodo was stricken down. In desperation he put on the Ring and saw the [[Nazgûl]] in their true forms. Frodo then tried to attack in [[Varda|Elbereth]]’s name, but their leader, the [[Witch-king]] of [[Angmar]], stabbed Frodo in the shoulder with a [[Morgul-knife]], before being driven away by Strider.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Weathertop to Rivendell===<br />
Because of a piece of the knife embedded in his shoulder, Frodo started to become ill, so his companions hurried to take him to the [[Rivendell|House of Elrond]]. After journeying for 12 days, they were found by [[Glorfindel]], one of the [[Calaquendi|High Elves]], who was sent by Elrond to help Frodo after he heard of him from Gildor. Glorfindel, seeing that Frodo was starting to fade, put him upon his horse, [[Asfaloth]], and ordered him to go on when the Ringwraiths approached. Asfaloth outran the steeds of the Nazgul and bore Frodo across the [[Ford of Bruinen]], but Frodo, who was on the brink of becoming a [[Wraiths|wraith]], turned around at the other side and defied the Nine. The Riders, were driven into the [[Bruinen|River]] by Glorfindel, Strider and the three hobbits, where they were swept away by the ensuing waters.<ref>{{FR|Flight}}</ref> As a sign that Frodo was shifting to the [[Wraith-world]], he could see the [[Unseen]] [[Light of Valinor|luminous form]] of Glorfindel.<br />
<br />
Unconscious, Frodo was carried inside Rivendell, where Elrond removed the fragment of the knife from his shoulder. He awoke two days later, mostly recovered, and was delighted to find that Gandalf had arrived. Frodo's recovery was celebrated with a feast during which he met [[Glóin]] and asked concerning the [[Dwarves of Erebor]]. Afterwards, Elrond led his guests to the [[Hall of Fire]], where Frodo found Bilbo, whom he hadn't seen in 17 years. Bilbo asked to see the Ring and was saddened to see Frodo's negative reaction. The two hobbits then enjoyed talking about Bilbo's [[Translations from the Elvish|works on lore]] and [[the Shire]].<ref name="Meetings">{{FR|Meetings}}</ref><br />
<br />
===The Fellowship of the Ring===<br />
[[File:Alan Lee - The Mirror of Galadriel.jpg|thumb|left|[[Alan Lee]] - ''The Mirror of Galadriel'']]<br />
{{seealso|Quest of the Ring}}<br />
[[File:Adam McDaniel - The Fellowship.jpg|Adam McDaniel - ''The Fellowship''|thumb]]<br />
During the [[Council of Elrond]], it was decided that the Ring must be destroyed by casting it into the [[Cracks of Doom]]. Frodo volunteered to be the [[Ring-bearers|Ring-bearer]], and a [[Fellowship of the Ring|Fellowship]] was formed to protect him; the fellowship included Gandalf, Aragorn (Strider's real name), [[Boromir]] of [[Gondor]], [[Legolas]] of the [[Woodland Realm]], [[Gimli]] of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], and Frodo's friends Sam, Merry and Pippin.<ref name=council/> Before their departure, Bilbo gave [[Sting]] to Frodo, and his coat of ''[[mithril]]'' mail, to protect him on the perilous journey to [[Mount Doom]] that lay ahead.<br />
<br />
On [[December 25]], the fellowship left Rivendell, and headed south along the west side of the [[Misty Mountains]]. They attempted to cross them by the Redhorn gate, but were thwarted by a fierce blizzard <ref>{{FR|II3}}</ref> and had to go back. After surviving a [[Wargs|Warg]] attack, Gandalf persuaded the company to go through the abandoned [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] kingdom of [[Moria]]. Just before entering Moria, Frodo was attacked by the [[Watcher in the Water]] and barely escaped. During the journey through Moria, Frodo began to suspect that something was tracking them. Later, inside the [[chamber of Mazarbul]], the Fellowship was attacked by [[Orcs]], and Frodo was struck by an Orc spear but was saved by the mithril coat he wore. The company escaped the chamber, and were close to exiting Moria, when [[Durin's Bane]] appeared and pursued them to the [[bridge of Khazad-dûm]] where Gandalf held him off so the rest of the Fellowship could escape. After breaking the bridge, both he and the [[Balrogs|Balrog]] fell and disappeared into the chasm below, after which Aragorn took over as leader.<ref>{{FR|Bridge}}</ref><br />
<br />
Eventually they reached [[Lothlórien]], and were housed by the elves at [[Caras Galadhon]]. During their rest there, [[Galadriel]] allowed Frodo and Sam to look into the [[Mirror of Galadriel]], in which they saw many things.<ref>{{FR|Mirror}}</ref> When leaving the Woods, Galadriel gave Frodo a [[Phial of Galadriel|vial]] with light from the [[Silmaril]] of [[Eärendil]].<ref>{{FR|Farewell}}</ref><br />
<br />
They travelled down the [[Anduin]] river in boats given to them by the elves. On their trip down the river, Frodo confirmed his suspicion that they were being trailed by Gollum. At [[Amon Hen]], the Ring's corrupting power caused Boromir to try to take the Ring from Frodo, who escaped by putting it on. Seeing the corrupting influence of the ring on Boromir, he then decided to leave the Fellowship and go on alone, but he was thwarted in this when Sam discovered him attempting to cross the [[Nen Hithoel]], and insisted on accompanying him.<br />
<br />
===Emyn Muil to Ithilien=== <br />
The two companions reached [[Amon Lhaw]] and toiled through the [[Emyn Muil]]. Soon after, they found Gollum following them, and they captured him with the [[Elven rope]]. <br />

Frodo decided to trust Gollum to be their guide. He led the Hobbits out of the Emyn Muil and through the [[Dead Marshes]]. During their route, they were delayed several times by a [[Nazgûl]] flying on a [[Fell beasts|fell beast]]. The Hobbits reached [[Carchost]], the western [[Towers of the Teeth|Tower of the Teeth]], where Frodo had intended to enter Mordor, but Gollum persuaded Frodo to follow him to a safer entrance, the pass of [[Cirith Ungol]]. During the next night's march they passed into [[North Ithilien]], and by daylight of [[March 7]] they reached the stream of [[Henneth Annûn]].<br />
<br />
Their camp fire attracted the [[Rangers of Ithilien]], and their leader, [[Faramir]] (Boromir's brother), considered them spies and questioned Frodo concerning their errand, who recounted the journeys of the Fellowship, but said nothing about the Ring. Faramir informed Frodo of Boromir's death, implying Frodo's involvement. Faramir blindfolded the Hobbits and led them to Henneth Annûn, a secret Gondorian outpost, and questioned them further in private. After a meal, Sam accidentally revealed that Frodo had the Ring, but Faramir denied its lure, and thus gained the trust of the hobbits.<br />
<br />
During the night, Faramir called Frodo and Sam to him, and showed them Gollum, who had found his way to Henneth Annûn, and (ignorant of their presence) was hunting for [[Fish|fish]]. Faramir, suspecting that Frodo had lied about Gollum's involvement in their quest, threatened to kill him for fear that he might reveal the location of their outpost to the enemy. Frodo confessed to the part of Gollum in their errand, and begged Faramir not to slay him. Gollum was caught and questioned and then surrendered to Frodo. The following morning Faramir released the three travellers, warning them strongly against taking the pass of Cirith Ungol.<br />
<br />
===Entering Mordor===<br />
[[File:John Howe - Shelob About to Leap on Frodo.jpg|thumb|left|[[John Howe]] - ''Shelob About to Leap on Frodo'']]<br />
[[File:John Howe - Mount Doom II.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[John Howe]] - ''Mount Doom'']]<br />
After two marches they came to the valley of the [[Morgulduin]] and continued east. On "[[The Dawnless Day]]" Gollum lead them east to the [[Southward Road]] and reached the [[Cross-roads]] just as the sun was setting.<ref>{{TT|Journey}}</ref> They reached just opposite the north-facing gate of [[Minas Morgul]] and they saw the Morgul-host march forth.<br />
<br />
In that night they ascended the [[Straight Stair]] and reached the top of the [[Winding Stair]] at dawn of [[March 11]] where they were woken by Gollum. He led the up the to the entrance to [[Shelob's Lair]]. Inside the tunnel Gollum betrayed Frodo and Sam to [[Shelob]] the [[Spiders|spider]], who stung Frodo after he left the tunnel. Sam saved Frodo from being eaten by Shelob, but thought him dead and took the Ring from him, resolving to continue the Quest alone. However Frodo (who was still alive) was captured by Orcs and taken to the [[Tower of Cirith Ungol]]. <br />
<br />
===Cirith Ungol to Mount Doom===<br />
Learning of this, Sam rescued Frodo and on early [[March 15]] the Hobbits escaped and jumped into the ravine west of the [[Morgai]] and crossed the valley. The next day they attempted to climb the Morgai, but had to retrace their steps and reached the north end of the valley, and on [[March 18]] they set out on the road that ran to the [[Carach Angren|Isenmouthe]]. There they were overtaken by an Orc troop and had to follow their trot.<br />
<br />
As Sauron's troops moved at night, the hobbits continued their journey in daytime towards Mount Doom. During the morning of [[March 25]] they reached the [[Cracks of Doom|Crack of Doom]] where, at the last moment, Frodo, under the influence of the Ring, claimed it as his own. However, at that moment he was attacked by [[Gollum]], who seized the Ring and then fell into the fire with it, thus destroying the Ring.<br />
<br />
===Return Home===<br />
Frodo and Sam were rescued by [[Gwaihir]], [[Landroval]] and [[Meneldor]] and taken to [[Ithilien]]. After being healed and having rested for a month, the Ring-bearers were honored on the [[Field of Cormallen]]. The following months the Hobbits witnessed the coronation of their companion Aragorn as King Elessar, and were present at his marriage to [[Arwen]] that summer. Arwen renounced her [[immortality]] and gave to Frodo her place to sail into the [[Uttermost West|West]].<ref>{{RK|Partings}}</ref><br />
<br />
Frodo and his company left Minas Tirith on [[July 19]] for [[Edoras]] and the funeral of King [[Théoden]], then set out for [[Helm's Deep]] and eventually [[Isengard]]. They parted there from Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn.<br />
<br />
After overtaking Saruman and [[Gríma|Wormtongue]], they reached the [[Mountains of Moria]]; and when they approached [[Lothlórien]], [[Celeborn]] and Galadriel parted from their company. The hobbits, with Gandalf and other Elves, reached Rivendell on [[September 21]], where Frodo met Bilbo once again.<br />
<br />
They stayed there until [[October 5]] and eventually visited the ''Prancing Pony'' in Bree before reaching the Shire. At the Buckland Gate Gandalf left them to go and have a talk with Tom Bombadil. Once in the Shire, they reached [[Frogmorton]] where they were arrested. The next day they reached [[Bywater]] where they defeated the [[ruffians]] who had overtaken their land. The leader of the ruffians was revealed to be Saruman, and Frodo decided to let him live, even after he had tried to stab him with a knife. But Saruman did not live much longer, for his servant, Wormtongue, killed him himself (before being killed by the hobbits), thus ending the [[War of the Ring]].<br />
<br />
===Later years===<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Departure at the Grey Havens.jpg|thumb|100px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Departure at the Grey Havens'']]<br />
Over the next two years, the travelers reordered the Shire and their lives; but Frodo was still troubled by his wounds. Frodo served as [[Mayor of Michel Delving]] until [[Will Whitfoot]] was restored. Having no family of his own, Frodo left his estate ([[Bag End]]) and passed on the [[Red Book of Westmarch|Red Book]] to Samwise Gamgee, who named [[Frodo Gardner|his son]] after Frodo.<br />
<br />
On [[September 21]] of {{TA|3021}} Frodo set out for the [[Grey Havens]]. Going south to Woody End he met the [[Last Riding of the Keepers]], Elrond, Galadriel, and Bilbo. On [[September 29]] they came to the firth of [[Lhûn]] where Gandalf awaited them, and on the [[White Ship]] they crossed the [[Straight Road]] into the West. Frodo would spend the rest of his life in the bliss of Valinor.<br />
<br />
Sam followed Frodo across the sea 61 years later, following the death of his wife [[Rose Cotton|Rose (née Cotton)]].<br />
<br />
==Description and equipment==<br />
The only real description of Frodo's appearance was given only once by Gandalf in his letter to Barliman Butterbur, in which he was declared a "stout fellow with red cheeks, taller than some (hobbits), and fairer than most", with a cleft chin, a bright eye, and a perky personality.<ref name="Strider"/> Although Frodo was apparently fairly stout before his journey, he seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight on his trip from Hobbiton to Rivendell.<ref name="Meetings"/> Also, at a later point, Sam remarked that Frodo was "too thin and drawn" for a hobbit.<ref>{{TT|Herbs}}</ref><br />
<br />
Frodo carried a small Elven sword called [[Sting]] and wore a coat of Dwarven mail made of [[Mithril|''mithril'']] under his clothes, both given to him by Bilbo. In [[Lothlórien]], [[Galadriel]] gave him an [[Elven cloaks|Elven cloak]] that helped him blend in with his natural surroundings and a phial carrying the light of the [[Star of Eärendil]] to aid him on his quest.<br />
<br />
Before Frodo returned to the Shire after the Quest of the Ring was completed, Arwen Evenstar, wife of Aragorn and daughter of Elrond, gave Frodo a white stone to wear around his neck.<br />
<br />
==Etymology and translations==<br />
The name ''Frodo Baggins'' is an English translation of his [[Westron]] name '''[[Maura]] [[Baggins Family|Labingi]]'''. The name ''Maura'' has the element ''maur-'' (wise, experienced), which Tolkien equivalated to the Germanic element ''frod-'' of the same meaning. Frodo's name in [[Sindarin]] was '''''[[Iorhael]]''''' ("old-wise") although in some instance he is mentioned as '''Daur''' (probably [[lenition|lenited]] form of ''[[taur]]'').<br />
<br />
In the German translation he is called ''Frodo Beutlin'', in Spanish, ''Frodo Bolsón'', in French, ''Frodon Sacquet'', in Norwegian, ''Frodo Lommelun'', in Danish, ''Frodo Sækker'', in Faroese, ''Fróði Pjøkin'', in Finnish, ''Frodo Reppuli'', in Swedish, ''Frodo Secker'', in Portuguese ''Frodo Bolseiro'', and in Dutch, ''Frodo Balings''. In one of three Polish translations he is called ''Frodo Bagosz'', but he keeps his original name in the other two.<br />

'''Frodo Baggins''' was a [[Hobbits|hobbit]] of the [[Third Age]], the most famous of all Hobbits in the histories for his leading role in the [[Quest of the Ring]]. During this epic quest, he bore [[the One Ring]] to [[Mount Doom]] and there destroyed it, giving him renown like no other [[Hobbits|Halfling]] throughout [[Middle-earth]]. He is also peculiar for being, as a [[Ring-bearers|Ring-bearer]], one of the three Hobbits who sailed from Middle-earth to [[Aman]], there to die in peace. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Childhood and youth===<br />
Frodo, the child of the respectable [[Drogo Baggins]] and [[Primula Brandybuck]], was born on [[22 September]] of {{SR|1368}}. After his parents died in a boating accident, Frodo went to live in [[Brandy Hall]] with his mother’s relatives, the [[Brandybucks]]. He grew up under the guardianship of the [[Master of Buckland]] [[Rorimac Brandybuck|Rorimac "Goldfather" Brandybuck]], who was his uncle. Frodo was a bit of a troublesome lad;{{fact}} he was once caught stealing [[mushrooms]] from [[Farmer Maggot]], who in return thrashed Frodo and set his three dogs to chase Frodo from [[Bamfurlong]] to [[Bucklebury Ferry]].<br />
<br />
Frodo stayed in Buckland until his uncle [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] adopted him and took him in to live at [[Bag End]], Bilbo's estate in [[Hobbiton]]. He enjoyed life with his "queer" Uncle Bilbo, with whom he shared the same birthday; Bilbo taught him to read, and told him stories of the past, even giving him some instruction in the [[elvish]] tongue. It is possible Bilbo even took his young cousin to see the [[Elves]] that wandered about outside [[the Shire]]. Bilbo made Frodo his heir, frustrating the attempts of the disagreeable [[Sackville-Baggins Family|Sackville-Baggins]]es, who coveted the estate of Bag End.<br />
<br />
Frodo and Bilbo were comfortable and well off until {{TA|3001}}. At this time, Bilbo threw an enormous [[Bilbo's Farewell Party|party]] to celebrate his 111th birthday, and Frodo's 33rd, the date of Frodo's coming of age. At this party Bilbo gave his farewell speech, and made his long planned "disappearance" and withdrawal from the Shire. Frodo, who had been informed beforehand of the "joke", as Bilbo called it, was spared the shock that afflicted the other assembled Hobbits. Frodo returned home as the new Master of Bag End, per [[Bilbo's will]]. He was greeted there by Gandalf, who informed him that, among other things, Frodo had inherited Bilbo's [[The One Ring|magic ring]].<br />
<br />
===Master of Bag End===<br />
[[File:Eric Faure-Brac - Bag End.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Eric Faure-Brac - ''Bag End'']]Frodo took charge of distributing the presents Bilbo had left for the other hobbits, a long and tiring task. The Baggins' old friend [[Gandalf]] the [[Wizards|Wizard]], who had come for the festivities, warned Frodo not to use the magic ring, and to keep it secret and safe. He then left back into the wide world, curiosity nagging his mind about the ring.<br />
<br />
Frodo, meanwhile, was quite well off. He lived in peace and respectability for seventeen years, when Gandalf returned with the dreadful revelation that the "magic ring" was really [[the One Ring]] of [[Sauron]], a thing of evil power thousands of years old. Furthermore, the Dark Lord was now aware of its survival, and would be searching for it, as [[Gollum]] had now revealed under torture that it was to be found in the Shire. After a long discussion and a test by fire, the two agreed that Frodo would have to leave the Shire for his own safety and [[Samwise Gamgee]] the gardener would go with him. Gandalf recommended Rivendell as a destination, as the road was likely safe and the haven good. He told Frodo to take the alias [[Mr. Underhill|Underhill]] abroad. Frodo was reluctant, but bought a house in [[Crickhollow]] as an excuse to head east.<br />
<br />
Gandalf stayed for two months while Frodo worked out the details. At the end of that time he left to "get some news", as rather disturbing tidings had come to his ears. He promised to be back for the farewell party. Meanwhile, Frodo was not aware that some of his closest friends were watching him; [[Fredegar Bolger|Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger]], his cousins [[Peregrin Took|Peregrin "Pippin" Took]], and [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck]], and Sam himself, knew that Frodo and Gandalf were in some trouble concerning the Ring, and that Frodo was preparing for a long adventure.<br />
<br />
As autumn passed, Frodo was waiting for Gandalf who did not return, and Frodo grew quite anxious. Merry and Fatty drove the cart of Frodo's belongings ahead, while Frodo still waited for Gandalf. At the last possible day he departed with Pippin and Sam.<br />
<br />
===Hobbiton to Crickhollow===<br />
[[File:Alan Lee - Feasting with the Elves.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Alan Lee]] - ''Feasting with the Elves'']]<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Last Sight of Hobbiton.jpg|thumb|left|220px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Last Sight of Hobbiton'']]Less than a day into their journeying, Frodo, strangely nervous, requested that the threesome hide upon the approach of a horseman. The rider was dressed in black, upon a black horse, making queer sniffing noises. Frodo felt the urge to put on the Ring and vanish, but just as he was giving in the rider departed at a trot. Samwise then remarked upon the [[Nazgûl|Black Rider]] that had spoken to his father, [[Gaffer Gamgee]], some time earlier. This made Frodo wish that he had waited for Gandalf.<br />
<br />
That night, they were again overtaken by a Black Horseman. This time it seemed to be able to sniff out their hiding place. But as it approached, it was driven away by the song of a group of [[Elves]]. Their leader, [[Gildor]], greeted the hobbits warmly, and lauded Frodo for his knowledge of their tongue. Frodo tried to get information from Gildor on the Black Riders, but the elf would tell him very little. Gildor foresaw that Frodo would have many dealings with the Riders in the future, and urged him to flee them whenever he met them. He and his party left the Hobbits before daybreak, while they slept.<br />
<br />
The next day the threesome agreed to stay off the road. After a brief scare when Sam sighted a Rider, they worried about losing their way. That evening they heard a terrible wail, and Frodo distinguished words in it. Before long they came to [[Bamfurlong]], the property of [[Farmer Maggot]]. Although Pippin knew Maggot, Frodo recalled a scare he had received at a young age after caught stealing the farmer’s mushrooms, being threatened with the dogs. He froze when the dogs came forth from the house, but Maggot's hospitality soon won him over. When Maggot told of a Black Rider who had stopped at his house asking for "Baggins," and made several shrewd guesses, Frodo grew uncomfortable. Maggot took them to [[Bucklebury Ferry]] in his wagon. There they joined up with Merry. As they were ferried across into [[Buckland]], they caught sight of a dark shape on the landing from which they had come.<br />
<br />
===Crickhollow to Bree===<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Under the Spell of the Barrow-wight.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Under the Spell of the Barrow-wight'']]<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Bathing at Crickhollow.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Bathing at Crickhollow'']]<br />
When they reached the house in Crickhollow, the other hobbits reveal their knowledge of the One Ring, and promise to stick with him on the road to [[Rivendell]]. The next morning, leaving Fatty to keep house, they plunged into the [[Old Forest]]. In time they were driven by the trees down to the [[Withywindle]], where they were ensnared by [[Old Man Willow]]. Rescued by [[Tom Bombadil]], the hobbits came to his house. There they met Tom's wife, [[Goldberry]], and Frodo was moved to poetry over her loveliness. He was interested in Bombadil himself, and several times tried to learn who he was. That night he dreamed of a white-haired figure on a pinnacle of stone, borne away by an eagle.<br />
<br />
The next day Frodo tried on the Ring, after finding it had no effect on Bombadil. Tom nevertheless could see him, for he was not subjected to the Ring’s power. That night he dreamed once more, a dream he never forgot.<br />
<br />
{{Blockquote|Frodo heard a sweet singing running in his mind: a song that seemed to come like a pale light behind a grey rain-curtain, and growing stronger to turn the veil all to glass and silver, until at last it was rolled back, and a far green country opened before him under a swift sunrise.|''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', [[Fog on the Barrow-downs]]}}<br />
<br />
After bidding Goldberry and Tom farewell, the Hobbits went on and passed through the [[barrow-downs]]. Getting lost in the mist, however, they were taken by the [[barrow-wights]], Frodo last of all. Frodo woke in the barrow to find the barrow-wight bending over his three friends. He rose and in a tremendous act of bravery and resilience took a sword and smote off the wight's hand. Then he summoned Bombadil with a [[Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!|song]] he had taught him, and Bombadil drove the wight away. Bombadil helped him wake Merry, Pippin, and Sam, gave them their ponies, and escorted them all to the road before turning his face back toward Withywindle. The hobbits, meanwhile, entered Bree and took lodging (at Bombadil’s recommendation) at [[The Prancing Pony]] inn, Frodo under the name of [[Mr. Underhill|Underhill]], as Gandalf had suggested.<br />
<br />
===Strider and Weathertop===<br />
While Merry went out to take a walk in the night air, the other hobbits came down to the common-room and were introduced by the landlord [[Barliman Butterbur]] to the gathering, Frodo under his alias. Frodo asked if Gandalf was present in Bree, only to learn that he had not yet arrived. While Pippin and Sam enjoyed the drink and conversation, Frodo remained withdrawn, soon falling into conversation with a curious [[Rangers of the North|ranger]] called [[Aragorn|Strider]], who gave him a warning about letting his friends talk to much. Pippin began to tell about [[Bilbo's Farewell Party|Bilbo's Birthday Party]], and Frodo, at Strider’s encouragement and in an attempt to prevent the name of Baggins from being raised, began to sing ''[[The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late]]''. This proved popular with the gathering, but unfortunately, as Frodo relaxed, he fell from the table and the Ring slipped on his finger, causing him to vanish.<br />

[[File:John Howe - Against the Shadow.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[John Howe]] - ''Against the Shadow'']]<br />
Frodo crawled over to Strider's corner and slipped off the Ring, and said that he had rolled quickly to the side. The suspicious Breelanders, however, grew angry or frightened, and eventually all left the common-room. Frodo and his comrades retired to their room, where they found Strider waiting to talk to them. Strider was honest and blunt, telling what he had overheard and what he knew of them, as well as warning them of the Black Riders and traitors in Bree. He urged them to accept his aide by inviting him into the company. Frodo was leaning to believe the ranger when Butterbur broke in, giving Frodo the long-awaited letter from Gandalf, undelivered by Butterbur’s forgetfulness. After some little bit of light was shed on the situation to the innkeeper, he swore to help the hobbits in any way he could, as a friend of Gandalf and one very much afraid of Mordor. Frodo, reading the letter, learned that Gandalf recommended Strider as one to whom Frodo could go for help. After some further debate, Frodo agreed to let Strider lead them to Rivendell.<br />
<br />
Strider arranged for a deception, by moving them to a different room. The next morning, their ponies were gone and the room was ravaged. Butterbur paid for a [[Bill the Pony|replacement pony]], and the four hobbits and ranger set out into the Wilds. They passed through [[Chetwood]] and [[Midgewater Marshes]], and finally to the [[Weather Hills]] before coming up to [[Weathertop]]. Black Riders were sighted from the top of the cairn, and Strider counseled to remain where they were. Shortly after the Black Riders came, and Frodo was stricken down. In desperation he put on the Ring and saw the [[Nazgûl]] in their true forms. Frodo then tried to attack in [[Varda|Elbereth]]’s name, but their leader, the [[Witch-king]] of [[Angmar]], stabbed Frodo in the shoulder with a [[Morgul-knife]], before being driven away by Strider.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Weathertop to Rivendell===<br />
Because of a piece of the knife embedded in his shoulder, Frodo started to become ill, so his companions hurried to take him to the [[Rivendell|House of Elrond]]. After journeying for 12 days, they were found by [[Glorfindel]], one of the [[Calaquendi|High Elves]], who was sent by Elrond to help Frodo after he heard of him from Gildor. Glorfindel, seeing that Frodo was starting to fade, put him upon his horse, [[Asfaloth]], and ordered him to go on when the Ringwraiths approached. Asfaloth outran the steeds of the Nazgul and bore Frodo across the [[Ford of Bruinen]], but Frodo, who was on the brink of becoming a [[Wraiths|wraith]], turned around at the other side and defied the Nine. The Riders, were driven into the [[Bruinen|River]] by Glorfindel, Strider and the three hobbits, where they were swept away by the ensuing waters.<ref>{{FR|Flight}}</ref> As a sign that Frodo was shifting to the [[Wraith-world]], he could see the [[Unseen]] [[Light of Valinor|luminous form]] of Glorfindel.<br />
<br />
Unconscious, Frodo was carried inside Rivendell, where Elrond removed the fragment of the knife from his shoulder. He awoke two days later, mostly recovered, and was delighted to find that Gandalf had arrived. Frodo's recovery was celebrated with a feast during which he met [[Glóin]] and asked concerning the [[Dwarves of Erebor]]. Afterwards, Elrond led his guests to the [[Hall of Fire]], where Frodo found Bilbo, whom he hadn't seen in 17 years. Bilbo asked to see the Ring and was saddened to see Frodo's negative reaction. The two hobbits then enjoyed talking about Bilbo's [[Translations from the Elvish|works on lore]] and [[the Shire]].<ref name="Meetings">{{FR|Meetings}}</ref><br />
<br />
===The Fellowship of the Ring===<br />
[[File:Alan Lee - The Mirror of Galadriel.jpg|thumb|left|[[Alan Lee]] - ''The Mirror of Galadriel'']]<br />
{{seealso|Quest of the Ring}}<br />
[[File:Adam McDaniel - The Fellowship.jpg|Adam McDaniel - ''The Fellowship''|thumb]]<br />
During the [[Council of Elrond]], it was decided that the Ring must be destroyed by casting it into the [[Cracks of Doom]]. Frodo volunteered to be the [[Ring-bearers|Ring-bearer]], and a [[Fellowship of the Ring|Fellowship]] was formed to protect him; the fellowship included Gandalf, Aragorn (Strider's real name), [[Boromir]] of [[Gondor]], [[Legolas]] of the [[Woodland Realm]], [[Gimli]] of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], and Frodo's friends Sam, Merry and Pippin.<ref name=council/> Before their departure, Bilbo gave [[Sting]] to Frodo, and his coat of ''[[mithril]]'' mail, to protect him on the perilous journey to [[Mount Doom]] that lay ahead.<br />
<br />
On [[December 25]], the fellowship left Rivendell, and headed south along the west side of the [[Misty Mountains]]. They attempted to cross them by the Redhorn gate, but were thwarted by a fierce blizzard <ref>{{FR|II3}}</ref> and had to go back. After surviving a [[Wargs|Warg]] attack, Gandalf persuaded the company to go through the abandoned [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] kingdom of [[Moria]]. Just before entering Moria, Frodo was attacked by the [[Watcher in the Water]] and barely escaped. During the journey through Moria, Frodo began to suspect that something was tracking them. Later, inside the [[chamber of Mazarbul]], the Fellowship was attacked by [[Orcs]], and Frodo was struck by an Orc spear but was saved by the mithril coat he wore. The company escaped the chamber, and were close to exiting Moria, when [[Durin's Bane]] appeared and pursued them to the [[bridge of Khazad-dûm]] where Gandalf held him off so the rest of the Fellowship could escape. After breaking the bridge, both he and the [[Balrogs|Balrog]] fell and disappeared into the chasm below, after which Aragorn took over as leader.<ref>{{FR|Bridge}}</ref><br />
<br />
Eventually they reached [[Lothlórien]], and were housed by the elves at [[Caras Galadhon]]. During their rest there, [[Galadriel]] allowed Frodo and Sam to look into the [[Mirror of Galadriel]], in which they saw many things.<ref>{{FR|Mirror}}</ref> When leaving the Woods, Galadriel gave Frodo a [[Phial of Galadriel|vial]] with light from the [[Silmaril]] of [[Eärendil]].<ref>{{FR|Farewell}}</ref><br />
<br />
They travelled down the [[Anduin]] river in boats given to them by the elves. On their trip down the river, Frodo confirmed his suspicion that they were being trailed by Gollum. At [[Amon Hen]], the Ring's corrupting power caused Boromir to try to take the Ring from Frodo, who escaped by putting it on. Seeing the corrupting influence of the ring on Boromir, he then decided to leave the Fellowship and go on alone, but he was thwarted in this when Sam discovered him attempting to cross the [[Nen Hithoel]], and insisted on accompanying him.<br />
<br />
===Emyn Muil to Ithilien=== <br />
The two companions reached [[Amon Lhaw]] and toiled through the [[Emyn Muil]]. Soon after, they found Gollum following them, and they captured him with the [[Elven rope]]. <br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - The Window on the West.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''The Window on the West'']]<br />
[[Image:Ted Nasmith - Through the Marshes.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Through the Marshes'']]<br />
Frodo decided to trust Gollum to be their guide. He led the Hobbits out of the Emyn Muil and through the [[Dead Marshes]]. During their route, they were delayed several times by a [[Nazgûl]] flying on a [[Fell beasts|fell beast]]. The Hobbits reached [[Carchost]], the western [[Towers of the Teeth|Tower of the Teeth]], where Frodo had intended to enter Mordor, but Gollum persuaded Frodo to follow him to a safer entrance, the pass of [[Cirith Ungol]]. During the next night's march they passed into [[North Ithilien]], and by daylight of [[March 7]] they reached the stream of [[Henneth Annûn]].<br />
<br />
Their camp fire attracted the [[Rangers of Ithilien]], and their leader, [[Faramir]] (Boromir's brother), considered them spies and questioned Frodo concerning their errand, who recounted the journeys of the Fellowship, but said nothing about the Ring. Faramir informed Frodo of Boromir's death, implying Frodo's involvement. Faramir blindfolded the Hobbits and led them to Henneth Annûn, a secret Gondorian outpost, and questioned them further in private. After a meal, Sam accidentally revealed that Frodo had the Ring, but Faramir denied its lure, and thus gained the trust of the hobbits.<br />
<br />
During the night, Faramir called Frodo and Sam to him, and showed them Gollum, who had found his way to Henneth Annûn, and (ignorant of their presence) was hunting for [[Fish|fish]]. Faramir, suspecting that Frodo had lied about Gollum's involvement in their quest, threatened to kill him for fear that he might reveal the location of their outpost to the enemy. Frodo confessed to the part of Gollum in their errand, and begged Faramir not to slay him. Gollum was caught and questioned and then surrendered to Frodo. The following morning Faramir released the three travellers, warning them strongly against taking the pass of Cirith Ungol.<br />
<br />
===Entering Mordor===<br />
[[File:John Howe - Shelob About to Leap on Frodo.jpg|thumb|left|[[John Howe]] - ''Shelob About to Leap on Frodo'']]<br />
[[File:John Howe - Mount Doom II.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[John Howe]] - ''Mount Doom'']]<br />
After two marches they came to the valley of the [[Morgulduin]] and continued east. On "[[The Dawnless Day]]" Gollum lead them east to the [[Southward Road]] and reached the [[Cross-roads]] just as the sun was setting.<ref>{{TT|Journey}}</ref> They reached just opposite the north-facing gate of [[Minas Morgul]] and they saw the Morgul-host march forth.<br />
<br />
In that night they ascended the [[Straight Stair]] and reached the top of the [[Winding Stair]] at dawn of [[March 11]] where they were woken by Gollum. He led the up the to the entrance to [[Shelob's Lair]]. Inside the tunnel Gollum betrayed Frodo and Sam to [[Shelob]] the [[Spiders|spider]], who stung Frodo after he left the tunnel. Sam saved Frodo from being eaten by Shelob, but thought him dead and took the Ring from him, resolving to continue the Quest alone. However Frodo (who was still alive) was captured by Orcs and taken to the [[Tower of Cirith Ungol]]. <br />
<br />
===Cirith Ungol to Mount Doom===<br />
Learning of this, Sam rescued Frodo and on early [[March 15]] the Hobbits escaped and jumped into the ravine west of the [[Morgai]] and crossed the valley. The next day they attempted to climb the Morgai, but had to retrace their steps and reached the north end of the valley, and on [[March 18]] they set out on the road that ran to the [[Carach Angren|Isenmouthe]]. There they were overtaken by an Orc troop and had to follow their trot.<br />
<br />
As Sauron's troops moved at night, the hobbits continued their journey in daytime towards Mount Doom. During the morning of [[March 25]] they reached the [[Cracks of Doom|Crack of Doom]] where, at the last moment, Frodo, under the influence of the Ring, claimed it as his own. However, at that moment he was attacked by [[Gollum]], who seized the Ring and then fell into the fire with it, thus destroying the Ring.<br />
<br />
===Return Home===<br />
Frodo and Sam were rescued by [[Gwaihir]], [[Landroval]] and [[Meneldor]] and taken to [[Ithilien]]. After being healed and having rested for a month, the Ring-bearers were honored on the [[Field of Cormallen]]. The following months the Hobbits witnessed the coronation of their companion Aragorn as King Elessar, and were present at his marriage to [[Arwen]] that summer. Arwen renounced her [[immortality]] and gave to Frodo her place to sail into the [[Uttermost West|West]].<ref>{{RK|Partings}}</ref><br />
<br />
Frodo and his company left Minas Tirith on [[July 19]] for [[Edoras]] and the funeral of King [[Théoden]], then set out for [[Helm's Deep]] and eventually [[Isengard]]. They parted there from Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn.<br />
<br />
After overtaking Saruman and [[Gríma|Wormtongue]], they reached the [[Mountains of Moria]]; and when they approached [[Lothlórien]], [[Celeborn]] and Galadriel parted from their company. The hobbits, with Gandalf and other Elves, reached Rivendell on [[September 21]], where Frodo met Bilbo once again.<br />
<br />
They stayed there until [[October 5]] and eventually visited the ''Prancing Pony'' in Bree before reaching the Shire. At the Buckland Gate Gandalf left them to go and have a talk with Tom Bombadil. Once in the Shire, they reached [[Frogmorton]] where they were arrested. The next day they reached [[Bywater]] where they defeated the [[ruffians]] who had overtaken their land. The leader of the ruffians was revealed to be Saruman, and Frodo decided to let him live, even after he had tried to stab him with a knife. But Saruman did not live much longer, for his servant, Wormtongue, killed him himself (before being killed by the hobbits), thus ending the [[War of the Ring]].<br />
<br />
===Later years===<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Departure at the Grey Havens.jpg|thumb|100px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Departure at the Grey Havens'']]<br />
Over the next two years, the travelers reordered the Shire and their lives; but Frodo was still troubled by his wounds. Frodo served as [[Mayor of Michel Delving]] until [[Will Whitfoot]] was restored. Having no family of his own, Frodo left his estate ([[Bag End]]) and passed on the [[Red Book of Westmarch|Red Book]] to Samwise Gamgee, who named [[Frodo Gardner|his son]] after Frodo.<br />
<br />
On [[September 21]] of {{TA|3021}} Frodo set out for the [[Grey Havens]]. Going south to Woody End he met the [[Last Riding of the Keepers]], Elrond, Galadriel, and Bilbo. On [[September 29]] they came to the firth of [[Lhûn]] where Gandalf awaited them, and on the [[White Ship]] they crossed the [[Straight Road]] into the West. Frodo would spend the rest of his life in the bliss of Valinor.<br />
<br />
Sam followed Frodo across the sea 61 years later, following the death of his wife [[Rose Cotton|Rose (née Cotton)]].<br />
<br />
==Description and equipment==<br />
The only real description of Frodo's appearance was given only once by Gandalf in his letter to Barliman Butterbur, in which he was declared a "stout fellow with red cheeks, taller than some (hobbits), and fairer than most", with a cleft chin, a bright eye, and a perky personality.<ref name="Strider"/> Although Frodo was apparently fairly stout before his journey, he seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight on his trip from Hobbiton to Rivendell.<ref name="Meetings"/> Also, at a later point, Sam remarked that Frodo was "too thin and drawn" for a hobbit.<ref>{{TT|Herbs}}</ref><br />
<br />
Frodo carried a small Elven sword called [[Sting]] and wore a coat of Dwarven mail made of [[Mithril|''mithril'']] under his clothes, both given to him by Bilbo. In [[Lothlórien]], [[Galadriel]] gave him an [[Elven cloaks|Elven cloak]] that helped him blend in with his natural surroundings and a phial carrying the light of the [[Star of Eärendil]] to aid him on his quest.<br />
<br />
Before Frodo returned to the Shire after the Quest of the Ring was completed, Arwen Evenstar, wife of Aragorn and daughter of Elrond, gave Frodo a white stone to wear around his neck.<br />
<br />
==Etymology and translations==<br />
The name ''Frodo Baggins'' is an English translation of his [[Westron]] name '''[[Maura]] [[Baggins Family|Labingi]]'''. The name ''Maura'' has the element ''maur-'' (wise, experienced), which Tolkien equivalated to the Germanic element ''frod-'' of the same meaning. Frodo's name in [[Sindarin]] was '''''[[Iorhael]]''''' ("old-wise") although in some instance he is mentioned as '''Daur''' (probably [[lenition|lenited]] form of ''[[taur]]'').<br />
<br />
In the German translation he is called ''Frodo Beutlin'', in Spanish, ''Frodo Bolsón'', in French, ''Frodon Sacquet'', in Norwegian, ''Frodo Lommelun'', in Danish, ''Frodo Sækker'', in Faroese, ''Fróði Pjøkin'', in Finnish, ''Frodo Reppuli'', in Swedish, ''Frodo Secker'', in Portuguese ''Frodo Bolseiro'', and in Dutch, ''Frodo Balings''. In one of three Polish translations he is called ''Frodo Bagosz'', but he keeps his original name in the other two.<br />

'''Frodo Baggins''' was a [[Hobbits|hobbit]] of the [[Third Age]], the most famous of all Hobbits in the histories for his leading role in the [[Quest of the Ring]]. During this epic quest, he bore [[the One Ring]] to [[Mount Doom]] and there destroyed it, giving him renown like no other [[Hobbits|Halfling]] throughout [[Middle-earth]]. He is also peculiar for being, as a [[Ring-bearers|Ring-bearer]], one of the three Hobbits who sailed from Middle-earth to [[Aman]], there to die in peace. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Childhood and youth===<br />
Frodo, the child of the respectable [[Drogo Baggins]] and [[Primula Brandybuck]], was born on [[22 September]] of {{SR|1368}}. After his parents died in a boating accident, Frodo went to live in [[Brandy Hall]] with his mother’s relatives, the [[Brandybucks]]. He grew up under the guardianship of the [[Master of Buckland]] [[Rorimac Brandybuck|Rorimac "Goldfather" Brandybuck]], who was his uncle. Frodo was a bit of a troublesome lad;{{fact}} he was once caught stealing [[mushrooms]] from [[Farmer Maggot]], who in return thrashed Frodo and set his three dogs to chase Frodo from [[Bamfurlong]] to [[Bucklebury Ferry]].<br />
<br />
Frodo stayed in Buckland until his uncle [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] adopted him and took him in to live at [[Bag End]], Bilbo's estate in [[Hobbiton]]. He enjoyed life with his "queer" Uncle Bilbo, with whom he shared the same birthday; Bilbo taught him to read, and told him stories of the past, even giving him some instruction in the [[elvish]] tongue. It is possible Bilbo even took his young cousin to see the [[Elves]] that wandered about outside [[the Shire]]. Bilbo made Frodo his heir, frustrating the attempts of the disagreeable [[Sackville-Baggins Family|Sackville-Baggins]]es, who coveted the estate of Bag End.<br />
<br />
Frodo and Bilbo were comfortable and well off until {{TA|3001}}. At this time, Bilbo threw an enormous [[Bilbo's Farewell Party|party]] to celebrate his 111th birthday, and Frodo's 33rd, the date of Frodo's coming of age. At this party Bilbo gave his farewell speech, and made his long planned "disappearance" and withdrawal from the Shire. Frodo, who had been informed beforehand of the "joke", as Bilbo called it, was spared the shock that afflicted the other assembled Hobbits. Frodo returned home as the new Master of Bag End, per [[Bilbo's will]]. He was greeted there by Gandalf, who informed him that, among other things, Frodo had inherited Bilbo's [[The One Ring|magic ring]].<br />
<br />
===Master of Bag End===<br />
[[File:Eric Faure-Brac - Bag End.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Eric Faure-Brac - ''Bag End'']]Frodo took charge of distributing the presents Bilbo had left for the other hobbits, a long and tiring task. The Baggins' old friend [[Gandalf]] the [[Wizards|Wizard]], who had come for the festivities, warned Frodo not to use the magic ring, and to keep it secret and safe. He then left back into the wide world, curiosity nagging his mind about the ring.<br />
<br />
Frodo, meanwhile, was quite well off. He lived in peace and respectability for seventeen years, when Gandalf returned with the dreadful revelation that the "magic ring" was really [[the One Ring]] of [[Sauron]], a thing of evil power thousands of years old. Furthermore, the Dark Lord was now aware of its survival, and would be searching for it, as [[Gollum]] had now revealed under torture that it was to be found in the Shire. After a long discussion and a test by fire, the two agreed that Frodo would have to leave the Shire for his own safety and [[Samwise Gamgee]] the gardener would go with him. Gandalf recommended Rivendell as a destination, as the road was likely safe and the haven good. He told Frodo to take the alias [[Mr. Underhill|Underhill]] abroad. Frodo was reluctant, but bought a house in [[Crickhollow]] as an excuse to head east.<br />
<br />
Gandalf stayed for two months while Frodo worked out the details. At the end of that time he left to "get some news", as rather disturbing tidings had come to his ears. He promised to be back for the farewell party. Meanwhile, Frodo was not aware that some of his closest friends were watching him; [[Fredegar Bolger|Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger]], his cousins [[Peregrin Took|Peregrin "Pippin" Took]], and [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck]], and Sam himself, knew that Frodo and Gandalf were in some trouble concerning the Ring, and that Frodo was preparing for a long adventure.<br />
<br />
As autumn passed, Frodo was waiting for Gandalf who did not return, and Frodo grew quite anxious. Merry and Fatty drove the cart of Frodo's belongings ahead, while Frodo still waited for Gandalf. At the last possible day he departed with Pippin and Sam.<br />
<br />
===Hobbiton to Crickhollow===<br />
[[File:Alan Lee - Feasting with the Elves.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Alan Lee]] - ''Feasting with the Elves'']]<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Last Sight of Hobbiton.jpg|thumb|left|220px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Last Sight of Hobbiton'']]Less than a day into their journeying, Frodo, strangely nervous, requested that the threesome hide upon the approach of a horseman. The rider was dressed in black, upon a black horse, making queer sniffing noises. Frodo felt the urge to put on the Ring and vanish, but just as he was giving in the rider departed at a trot. Samwise then remarked upon the [[Nazgûl|Black Rider]] that had spoken to his father, [[Gaffer Gamgee]], some time earlier. This made Frodo wish that he had waited for Gandalf.<br />
<br />
That night, they were again overtaken by a Black Horseman. This time it seemed to be able to sniff out their hiding place. But as it approached, it was driven away by the song of a group of [[Elves]]. Their leader, [[Gildor]], greeted the hobbits warmly, and lauded Frodo for his knowledge of their tongue. Frodo tried to get information from Gildor on the Black Riders, but the elf would tell him very little. Gildor foresaw that Frodo would have many dealings with the Riders in the future, and urged him to flee them whenever he met them. He and his party left the Hobbits before daybreak, while they slept.<br />
<br />
The next day the threesome agreed to stay off the road. After a brief scare when Sam sighted a Rider, they worried about losing their way. That evening they heard a terrible wail, and Frodo distinguished words in it. Before long they came to [[Bamfurlong]], the property of [[Farmer Maggot]]. Although Pippin knew Maggot, Frodo recalled a scare he had received at a young age after caught stealing the farmer’s mushrooms, being threatened with the dogs. He froze when the dogs came forth from the house, but Maggot's hospitality soon won him over. When Maggot told of a Black Rider who had stopped at his house asking for "Baggins," and made several shrewd guesses, Frodo grew uncomfortable. Maggot took them to [[Bucklebury Ferry]] in his wagon. There they joined up with Merry. As they were ferried across into [[Buckland]], they caught sight of a dark shape on the landing from which they had come.<br />
<br />
===Crickhollow to Bree===<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Under the Spell of the Barrow-wight.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Under the Spell of the Barrow-wight'']]<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Bathing at Crickhollow.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Bathing at Crickhollow'']]<br />
When they reached the house in Crickhollow, the other hobbits reveal their knowledge of the One Ring, and promise to stick with him on the road to [[Rivendell]]. The next morning, leaving Fatty to keep house, they plunged into the [[Old Forest]]. In time they were driven by the trees down to the [[Withywindle]], where they were ensnared by [[Old Man Willow]]. Rescued by [[Tom Bombadil]], the hobbits came to his house. There they met Tom's wife, [[Goldberry]], and Frodo was moved to poetry over her loveliness. He was interested in Bombadil himself, and several times tried to learn who he was. That night he dreamed of a white-haired figure on a pinnacle of stone, borne away by an eagle.<br />
<br />
The next day Frodo tried on the Ring, after finding it had no effect on Bombadil. Tom nevertheless could see him, for he was not subjected to the Ring’s power. That night he dreamed once more, a dream he never forgot.<br />
<br />
{{Blockquote|Frodo heard a sweet singing running in his mind: a song that seemed to come like a pale light behind a grey rain-curtain, and growing stronger to turn the veil all to glass and silver, until at last it was rolled back, and a far green country opened before him under a swift sunrise.|''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', [[Fog on the Barrow-downs]]}}<br />
<br />
After bidding Goldberry and Tom farewell, the Hobbits went on and passed through the [[barrow-downs]]. Getting lost in the mist, however, they were taken by the [[barrow-wights]], Frodo last of all. Frodo woke in the barrow to find the barrow-wight bending over his three friends. He rose and in a tremendous act of bravery and resilience took a sword and smote off the wight's hand. Then he summoned Bombadil with a [[Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!|song]] he had taught him, and Bombadil drove the wight away. Bombadil helped him wake Merry, Pippin, and Sam, gave them their ponies, and escorted them all to the road before turning his face back toward Withywindle. The hobbits, meanwhile, entered Bree and took lodging (at Bombadil’s recommendation) at [[The Prancing Pony]] inn, Frodo under the name of [[Mr. Underhill|Underhill]], as Gandalf had suggested.<br />
<br />
===Strider and Weathertop===<br />
While Merry went out to take a walk in the night air, the other hobbits came down to the common-room and were introduced by the landlord [[Barliman Butterbur]] to the gathering, Frodo under his alias. Frodo asked if Gandalf was present in Bree, only to learn that he had not yet arrived. While Pippin and Sam enjoyed the drink and conversation, Frodo remained withdrawn, soon falling into conversation with a curious [[Rangers of the North|ranger]] called [[Aragorn|Strider]], who gave him a warning about letting his friends talk to much. Pippin began to tell about [[Bilbo's Farewell Party|Bilbo's Birthday Party]], and Frodo, at Strider’s encouragement and in an attempt to prevent the name of Baggins from being raised, began to sing ''[[The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late]]''. This proved popular with the gathering, but unfortunately, as Frodo relaxed, he fell from the table and the Ring slipped on his finger, causing him to vanish.<br />
[[File:Peter Xavier Price - Strider in The Prancing Pony.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Peter Xavier Price]] - ''Strider in The Prancing Pony'']]<br />
[[File:John Howe - Against the Shadow.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[John Howe]] - ''Against the Shadow'']]<br />
Frodo crawled over to Strider's corner and slipped off the Ring, and said that he had rolled quickly to the side. The suspicious Breelanders, however, grew angry or frightened, and eventually all left the common-room. Frodo and his comrades retired to their room, where they found Strider waiting to talk to them. Strider was honest and blunt, telling what he had overheard and what he knew of them, as well as warning them of the Black Riders and traitors in Bree. He urged them to accept his aide by inviting him into the company. Frodo was leaning to believe the ranger when Butterbur broke in, giving Frodo the long-awaited letter from Gandalf, undelivered by Butterbur’s forgetfulness. After some little bit of light was shed on the situation to the innkeeper, he swore to help the hobbits in any way he could, as a friend of Gandalf and one very much afraid of Mordor. Frodo, reading the letter, learned that Gandalf recommended Strider as one to whom Frodo could go for help. After some further debate, Frodo agreed to let Strider lead them to Rivendell.<br />
<br />
Strider arranged for a deception, by moving them to a different room. The next morning, their ponies were gone and the room was ravaged. Butterbur paid for a [[Bill the Pony|replacement pony]], and the four hobbits and ranger set out into the Wilds. They passed through [[Chetwood]] and [[Midgewater Marshes]], and finally to the [[Weather Hills]] before coming up to [[Weathertop]]. Black Riders were sighted from the top of the cairn, and Strider counseled to remain where they were. Shortly after the Black Riders came, and Frodo was stricken down. In desperation he put on the Ring and saw the [[Nazgûl]] in their true forms. Frodo then tried to attack in [[Varda|Elbereth]]’s name, but their leader, the [[Witch-king]] of [[Angmar]], stabbed Frodo in the shoulder with a [[Morgul-knife]], before being driven away by Strider.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Weathertop to Rivendell===<br />
Because of a piece of the knife embedded in his shoulder, Frodo started to become ill, so his companions hurried to take him to the [[Rivendell|House of Elrond]]. After journeying for 12 days, they were found by [[Glorfindel]], one of the [[Calaquendi|High Elves]], who was sent by Elrond to help Frodo after he heard of him from Gildor. Glorfindel, seeing that Frodo was starting to fade, put him upon his horse, [[Asfaloth]], and ordered him to go on when the Ringwraiths approached. Asfaloth outran the steeds of the Nazgul and bore Frodo across the [[Ford of Bruinen]], but Frodo, who was on the brink of becoming a [[Wraiths|wraith]], turned around at the other side and defied the Nine. The Riders, were driven into the [[Bruinen|River]] by Glorfindel, Strider and the three hobbits, where they were swept away by the ensuing waters.<ref>{{FR|Flight}}</ref> As a sign that Frodo was shifting to the [[Wraith-world]], he could see the [[Unseen]] [[Light of Valinor|luminous form]] of Glorfindel.<br />
<br />
Unconscious, Frodo was carried inside Rivendell, where Elrond removed the fragment of the knife from his shoulder. He awoke two days later, mostly recovered, and was delighted to find that Gandalf had arrived. Frodo's recovery was celebrated with a feast during which he met [[Glóin]] and asked concerning the [[Dwarves of Erebor]]. Afterwards, Elrond led his guests to the [[Hall of Fire]], where Frodo found Bilbo, whom he hadn't seen in 17 years. Bilbo asked to see the Ring and was saddened to see Frodo's negative reaction. The two hobbits then enjoyed talking about Bilbo's [[Translations from the Elvish|works on lore]] and [[the Shire]].<ref name="Meetings">{{FR|Meetings}}</ref><br />
<br />
===The Fellowship of the Ring===<br />
[[File:Alan Lee - The Mirror of Galadriel.jpg|thumb|left|[[Alan Lee]] - ''The Mirror of Galadriel'']]<br />
{{seealso|Quest of the Ring}}<br />
[[File:Adam McDaniel - The Fellowship.jpg|Adam McDaniel - ''The Fellowship''|thumb]]<br />
During the [[Council of Elrond]], it was decided that the Ring must be destroyed by casting it into the [[Cracks of Doom]]. Frodo volunteered to be the [[Ring-bearers|Ring-bearer]], and a [[Fellowship of the Ring|Fellowship]] was formed to protect him; the fellowship included Gandalf, Aragorn (Strider's real name), [[Boromir]] of [[Gondor]], [[Legolas]] of the [[Woodland Realm]], [[Gimli]] of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], and Frodo's friends Sam, Merry and Pippin.<ref name=council/> Before their departure, Bilbo gave [[Sting]] to Frodo, and his coat of ''[[mithril]]'' mail, to protect him on the perilous journey to [[Mount Doom]] that lay ahead.<br />
<br />
On [[December 25]], the fellowship left Rivendell, and headed south along the west side of the [[Misty Mountains]]. They attempted to cross them by the Redhorn gate, but were thwarted by a fierce blizzard <ref>{{FR|II3}}</ref> and had to go back. After surviving a [[Wargs|Warg]] attack, Gandalf persuaded the company to go through the abandoned [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] kingdom of [[Moria]]. Just before entering Moria, Frodo was attacked by the [[Watcher in the Water]] and barely escaped. During the journey through Moria, Frodo began to suspect that something was tracking them. Later, inside the [[chamber of Mazarbul]], the Fellowship was attacked by [[Orcs]], and Frodo was struck by an Orc spear but was saved by the mithril coat he wore. The company escaped the chamber, and were close to exiting Moria, when [[Durin's Bane]] appeared and pursued them to the [[bridge of Khazad-dûm]] where Gandalf held him off so the rest of the Fellowship could escape. After breaking the bridge, both he and the [[Balrogs|Balrog]] fell and disappeared into the chasm below, after which Aragorn took over as leader.<ref>{{FR|Bridge}}</ref><br />
<br />
Eventually they reached [[Lothlórien]], and were housed by the elves at [[Caras Galadhon]]. During their rest there, [[Galadriel]] allowed Frodo and Sam to look into the [[Mirror of Galadriel]], in which they saw many things.<ref>{{FR|Mirror}}</ref> When leaving the Woods, Galadriel gave Frodo a [[Phial of Galadriel|vial]] with light from the [[Silmaril]] of [[Eärendil]].<ref>{{FR|Farewell}}</ref><br />
<br />
They travelled down the [[Anduin]] river in boats given to them by the elves. On their trip down the river, Frodo confirmed his suspicion that they were being trailed by Gollum. At [[Amon Hen]], the Ring's corrupting power caused Boromir to try to take the Ring from Frodo, who escaped by putting it on. Seeing the corrupting influence of the ring on Boromir, he then decided to leave the Fellowship and go on alone, but he was thwarted in this when Sam discovered him attempting to cross the [[Nen Hithoel]], and insisted on accompanying him.<br />
<br />
===Emyn Muil to Ithilien=== <br />
The two companions reached [[Amon Lhaw]] and toiled through the [[Emyn Muil]]. Soon after, they found Gollum following them, and they captured him with the [[Elven rope]]. <br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - The Window on the West.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''The Window on the West'']]<br />
[[Image:Ted Nasmith - Through the Marshes.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Through the Marshes'']]<br />
Frodo decided to trust Gollum to be their guide. He led the Hobbits out of the Emyn Muil and through the [[Dead Marshes]]. During their route, they were delayed several times by a [[Nazgûl]] flying on a [[Fell beasts|fell beast]]. The Hobbits reached [[Carchost]], the western [[Towers of the Teeth|Tower of the Teeth]], where Frodo had intended to enter Mordor, but Gollum persuaded Frodo to follow him to a safer entrance, the pass of [[Cirith Ungol]]. During the next night's march they passed into [[North Ithilien]], and by daylight of [[March 7]] they reached the stream of [[Henneth Annûn]].<br />
<br />
Their camp fire attracted the [[Rangers of Ithilien]], and their leader, [[Faramir]] (Boromir's brother), considered them spies and questioned Frodo concerning their errand, who recounted the journeys of the Fellowship, but said nothing about the Ring. Faramir informed Frodo of Boromir's death, implying Frodo's involvement. Faramir blindfolded the Hobbits and led them to Henneth Annûn, a secret Gondorian outpost, and questioned them further in private. After a meal, Sam accidentally revealed that Frodo had the Ring, but Faramir denied its lure, and thus gained the trust of the hobbits.<br />
<br />
During the night, Faramir called Frodo and Sam to him, and showed them Gollum, who had found his way to Henneth Annûn, and (ignorant of their presence) was hunting for [[Fish|fish]]. Faramir, suspecting that Frodo had lied about Gollum's involvement in their quest, threatened to kill him for fear that he might reveal the location of their outpost to the enemy. Frodo confessed to the part of Gollum in their errand, and begged Faramir not to slay him. Gollum was caught and questioned and then surrendered to Frodo. The following morning Faramir released the three travellers, warning them strongly against taking the pass of Cirith Ungol.<br />
<br />
===Entering Mordor===<br />
[[File:John Howe - Shelob About to Leap on Frodo.jpg|thumb|left|[[John Howe]] - ''Shelob About to Leap on Frodo'']]<br />
[[File:John Howe - Mount Doom II.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[John Howe]] - ''Mount Doom'']]<br />
After two marches they came to the valley of the [[Morgulduin]] and continued east. On "[[The Dawnless Day]]" Gollum lead them east to the [[Southward Road]] and reached the [[Cross-roads]] just as the sun was setting.<ref>{{TT|Journey}}</ref> They reached just opposite the north-facing gate of [[Minas Morgul]] and they saw the Morgul-host march forth.<br />
<br />
In that night they ascended the [[Straight Stair]] and reached the top of the [[Winding Stair]] at dawn of [[March 11]] where they were woken by Gollum. He led the up the to the entrance to [[Shelob's Lair]]. Inside the tunnel Gollum betrayed Frodo and Sam to [[Shelob]] the [[Spiders|spider]], who stung Frodo after he left the tunnel. Sam saved Frodo from being eaten by Shelob, but thought him dead and took the Ring from him, resolving to continue the Quest alone. However Frodo (who was still alive) was captured by Orcs and taken to the [[Tower of Cirith Ungol]]. <br />
<br />
===Cirith Ungol to Mount Doom===<br />
Learning of this, Sam rescued Frodo and on early [[March 15]] the Hobbits escaped and jumped into the ravine west of the [[Morgai]] and crossed the valley. The next day they attempted to climb the Morgai, but had to retrace their steps and reached the north end of the valley, and on [[March 18]] they set out on the road that ran to the [[Carach Angren|Isenmouthe]]. There they were overtaken by an Orc troop and had to follow their trot.<br />
<br />
As Sauron's troops moved at night, the hobbits continued their journey in daytime towards Mount Doom. During the morning of [[March 25]] they reached the [[Cracks of Doom|Crack of Doom]] where, at the last moment, Frodo, under the influence of the Ring, claimed it as his own. However, at that moment he was attacked by [[Gollum]], who seized the Ring and then fell into the fire with it, thus destroying the Ring.<br />
<br />
===Return Home===<br />
Frodo and Sam were rescued by [[Gwaihir]], [[Landroval]] and [[Meneldor]] and taken to [[Ithilien]]. After being healed and having rested for a month, the Ring-bearers were honored on the [[Field of Cormallen]]. The following months the Hobbits witnessed the coronation of their companion Aragorn as King Elessar, and were present at his marriage to [[Arwen]] that summer. Arwen renounced her [[immortality]] and gave to Frodo her place to sail into the [[Uttermost West|West]].<ref>{{RK|Partings}}</ref><br />
<br />
Frodo and his company left Minas Tirith on [[July 19]] for [[Edoras]] and the funeral of King [[Théoden]], then set out for [[Helm's Deep]] and eventually [[Isengard]]. They parted there from Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn.<br />
<br />
After overtaking Saruman and [[Gríma|Wormtongue]], they reached the [[Mountains of Moria]]; and when they approached [[Lothlórien]], [[Celeborn]] and Galadriel parted from their company. The hobbits, with Gandalf and other Elves, reached Rivendell on [[September 21]], where Frodo met Bilbo once again.<br />
<br />
They stayed there until [[October 5]] and eventually visited the ''Prancing Pony'' in Bree before reaching the Shire. At the Buckland Gate Gandalf left them to go and have a talk with Tom Bombadil. Once in the Shire, they reached [[Frogmorton]] where they were arrested. The next day they reached [[Bywater]] where they defeated the [[ruffians]] who had overtaken their land. The leader of the ruffians was revealed to be Saruman, and Frodo decided to let him live, even after he had tried to stab him with a knife. But Saruman did not live much longer, for his servant, Wormtongue, killed him himself (before being killed by the hobbits), thus ending the [[War of the Ring]].<br />
<br />
===Later years===<br />
[[File:Ted Nasmith - Departure at the Grey Havens.jpg|thumb|100px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Departure at the Grey Havens'']]<br />
Over the next two years, the travelers reordered the Shire and their lives; but Frodo was still troubled by his wounds. Frodo served as [[Mayor of Michel Delving]] until [[Will Whitfoot]] was restored. Having no family of his own, Frodo left his estate ([[Bag End]]) and passed on the [[Red Book of Westmarch|Red Book]] to Samwise Gamgee, who named [[Frodo Gardner|his son]] after Frodo.<br />
<br />
On [[September 21]] of {{TA|3021}} Frodo set out for the [[Grey Havens]]. Going south to Woody End he met the [[Last Riding of the Keepers]], Elrond, Galadriel, and Bilbo. On [[September 29]] they came to the firth of [[Lhûn]] where Gandalf awaited them, and on the [[White Ship]] they crossed the [[Straight Road]] into the West. Frodo would spend the rest of his life in the bliss of Valinor.<br />
<br />
Sam followed Frodo across the sea 61 years later, following the death of his wife [[Rose Cotton|Rose (née Cotton)]].<br />
<br />
==Description and equipment==<br />
The only real description of Frodo's appearance was given only once by Gandalf in his letter to Barliman Butterbur, in which he was declared a "stout fellow with red cheeks, taller than some (hobbits), and fairer than most", with a cleft chin, a bright eye, and a perky personality.<ref name="Strider"/> Although Frodo was apparently fairly stout before his journey, he seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight on his trip from Hobbiton to Rivendell.<ref name="Meetings"/> Also, at a later point, Sam remarked that Frodo was "too thin and drawn" for a hobbit.<ref>{{TT|Herbs}}</ref><br />
<br />
Frodo carried a small Elven sword called [[Sting]] and wore a coat of Dwarven mail made of [[Mithril|''mithril'']] under his clothes, both given to him by Bilbo. In [[Lothlórien]], [[Galadriel]] gave him an [[Elven cloaks|Elven cloak]] that helped him blend in with his natural surroundings and a phial carrying the light of the [[Star of Eärendil]] to aid him on his quest.<br />
<br />
Before Frodo returned to the Shire after the Quest of the Ring was completed, Arwen Evenstar, wife of Aragorn and daughter of Elrond, gave Frodo a white stone to wear around his neck.<br />
<br />
==Etymology and translations==<br />
The name ''Frodo Baggins'' is an English translation of his [[Westron]] name '''[[Maura]] [[Baggins Family|Labingi]]'''. The name ''Maura'' has the element ''maur-'' (wise, experienced), which Tolkien equivalated to the Germanic element ''frod-'' of the same meaning. Frodo's name in [[Sindarin]] was '''''[[Iorhael]]''''' ("old-wise") although in some instance he is mentioned as '''Daur''' (probably [[lenition|lenited]] form of ''[[taur]]'').<br />
<br />
In the German translation he is called ''Frodo Beutlin'', in Spanish, ''Frodo Bolsón'', in French, ''Frodon Sacquet'', in Norwegian, ''Frodo Lommelun'', in Danish, ''Frodo Sækker'', in Faroese, ''Fróði Pjøkin'', in Finnish, ''Frodo Reppuli'', in Swedish, ''Frodo Secker'', in Portuguese ''Frodo Bolseiro'', and in Dutch, ''Frodo Balings''. In one of three Polish translations he is called ''Frodo Bagosz'', but he keeps his original name in the other two.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Took''' family was the pre-eminent clan of [[Hobbits]] in [[the Shire]], being wealthy and having held the office of the [[Thain]] for centuries.<ref>{{FR|Ordering}}</ref> ("Took" was pronounced like "Two-k", not like "book" or "took" as in the past tense of "take"{{fact}}).<br />
<br />
==Territory, origins and customs==<br />
Tooks were mainly of [[Fallohides|Fallohide]] Hobbit stock, and had quite a reputation for unusual behavior (among other things being more adventurous than the other Hobbits<ref name=”hobbits”>{{FR|Hobbits}}</ref>), a quality not valued in the Shire. For this reason they were seen as less respectable. An absurd legend among other families, was that one of the Took ancestors married a [[fairies|fairy]]. The [[Istari|Wizard]] [[Gandalf]] was a known, if disreputable, associate.<ref>{{H|Party}}</ref> [[Bilbo Baggins]] and [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]] both had Took mothers.<br />
<br />
The majority of the Tooks lived in the [[Great Smials]] of [[Tuckborough]] and in the surrounding area of [[Tookland]], which lay in the [[Westfarthing]].<ref>{{FR|Part}}</ref> A smaller clan called the '''[[North-took Family|North-tooks]]''' who lived far up in [[Long Cleeve]]; these were descendants of the legendary hero [[Bandobras Took]].<ref name="Took">{{App|Took}}</ref><br />
<br />
As was customary in traditional hobbit families, the head of the Took family ruled the clan with his wife, thus upon his death, she continued to rule as the matriarch of the family. Such was the case with [[Lalia Clayhanger]] who succeeded her husband, [[Fortinbras Took II|Fortinbras]], to clan leadership. However, the Thainship passed only through male descent, so her son, [[Ferumbras Took III|Ferumbras III]], was the Thain immediately after his father’s death.<ref name="letter">{{L|214}}</ref><br />
<br />
Took men usually were given high-sounding names which evoked battles, weapons or figures of legend, like Gerontius, Fortimbras or Isembold. [[Razanur Tûk|Razanur Took]] (Pippin) was named after [[Razanur]], a mythical traveller.<ref>{{PM|Languages}}</ref> Took women had names of jewels, or exotic or mythical flowers.<ref name="Trans">{{App|F2}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The first recorded Took was [[Isumbras Took I|Isumbras Took]], who in {{SR|740}} became the 13th [[Thain]] of [[the Shire]] after [[Gorhendad Oldbuck]] crossed into [[Buckland]] and became the Master there. <ref name="TA">{{App|TA}}</ref> Thereafter Isumbras Took was known as Isumbras I and the office of the Thain became hereditary within the Took family.<br />
<br />
Excavation of the seat of the Took family, the Great Smials, was begun in {{SR|1083}} by Thain [[Isengrim Took II|Isengrim II]].<ref name="TA"/><br />
<br />
[[Bandobras Took]], the "Bullroarer", defeated an Orc-band in the Northfarthing in {{SR|1147|n}}.<ref name="TA"/><br />
<br />
In {{SR|1434|n}} his descendant [[Peregrin Took|Peregrin "Pippin" Took]] became the 20th Thain of the Took line, the 32nd in the Shire. In {{SR|1484|n}} Thain Peregrin I handed his office to his son, [[Faramir Took I]] and rode away from the Shire (later it is said that he and [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]] were laid to rest beside the bed of [[Aragorn|King Elessar]] after his passing).<ref>{{App|Later}}</ref><br />
<br />
In the [[Fourth Age]] the Great Smials became an important repository of historic books and records.<ref>{{FR|Records}}</ref><br />
==Family Tree of the Tooks of the Great Smials==<br />
Showing the line of the Thains and prominent members of the Took clan.<ref name="Took"/> The figures after the names are those of birth (and death where that is recorded). A name preceded by an '*' indicates one who held the office of the Thain. A dashed line indicates marriage. Names in ''italics'' signify those who attended [[Bilbo's Farewell Party]] on [[22 September]] {{SR|1401}}.<br />

==Etymology==<br />
'''''Tûk''''' was an older name of unknown meaning in Hobbitish [[Westron]].<ref name="Trans"/><br />
<br />
''Took'' is a [[Welsh]] surname, referring to a type of sword. One of the earliest spellings of the Hobbitish form of the name in ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'' (''Tūca'') matches the Welsh spelling for this name/sword,<ref>[[Mark T. Hooker]], ''[[Tolkien and Welsh]]'', pp. 126-127</ref> which suggests that Tolkien apparently was aware of the Welsh meaning.<br />
<br />
==Inspiration==<br />
The inspiration for [[Elvish]] blood amongst the Tooks may have possibly come from the Tollkühn family intermarrying with nobility:<br />
{{quote|The family [Tollkühn] was also supposed to have connections with France and to have ''intermarried with the nobility in that country''', where they acquired a French version of their nickname, du Temeraire.|[[J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography]]}}<br />
<br />
{{quote| [Tolkien's] Aunt Grace preferred the more romantic (if implausible) story of how one of the du Temeraires [Tolkiens] had fled across the [English] Channel in 1794 to escape the guillotine, apparently then assuming a form of the old name, 'Tolkien'.

<br />
The inspiration for the name Took may have come from Tollkühn, meaning "foolhardy".<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Took''' family was the pre-eminent clan of [[Hobbits]] in [[the Shire]], being wealthy and having held the office of the [[Thain]] for centuries.<ref>{{FR|Ordering}}</ref> ("Took" was pronounced like "Two-k", not like "book" or "took" as in the past tense of "take"{{fact}}).<br />
<br />
==Territory, origins and customs==<br />
Tooks were mainly of [[Fallohides|Fallohide]] Hobbit stock, and had quite a reputation for unusual behavior (among other things being more adventurous than the other Hobbits<ref name=”hobbits”>{{FR|Hobbits}}</ref>), a quality not valued in the Shire. For this reason they were seen as less respectable. An absurd legend among other families, was that one of the Took ancestors married a [[fairies|fairy]]. The [[Istari|Wizard]] [[Gandalf]] was a known, if disreputable, associate.<ref>{{H|Party}}</ref> [[Bilbo Baggins]] and [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]] both had Took mothers.<br />
<br />
The majority of the Tooks lived in the [[Great Smials]] of [[Tuckborough]] and in the surrounding area of [[Tookland]], which lay in the [[Westfarthing]].<ref>{{FR|Part}}</ref> A smaller clan called the '''[[North-took Family|North-tooks]]''' who lived far up in [[Long Cleeve]]; these were descendants of the legendary hero [[Bandobras Took]].<ref name="Took">{{App|Took}}</ref><br />
<br />
As was customary in traditional hobbit families, the head of the Took family ruled the clan with his wife, thus upon his death, she continued to rule as the matriarch of the family. Such was the case with [[Lalia Clayhanger]] who succeeded her husband, [[Fortinbras Took II|Fortinbras]], to clan leadership. However, the Thainship passed only through male descent, so her son, [[Ferumbras Took III|Ferumbras III]], was the Thain immediately after his father’s death.<ref name="letter">{{L|214}}</ref><br />
<br />
Took men usually were given high-sounding names which evoked battles, weapons or figures of legend, like Gerontius, Fortimbras or Isembold. [[Razanur Tûk|Razanur Took]] (Pippin) was named after [[Razanur]], a mythical traveller.<ref>{{PM|Languages}}</ref> Took women had names of jewels, or exotic or mythical flowers.<ref name="Trans">{{App|F2}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The first recorded Took was [[Isumbras Took I|Isumbras Took]], who in {{SR|740}} became the 13th [[Thain]] of [[the Shire]] after [[Gorhendad Oldbuck]] crossed into [[Buckland]] and became the Master there. <ref name="TA">{{App|TA}}</ref> Thereafter Isumbras Took was known as Isumbras I and the office of the Thain became hereditary within the Took family.<br />
<br />
Excavation of the seat of the Took family, the Great Smials, was begun in {{SR|1083}} by Thain [[Isengrim Took II|Isengrim II]].<ref name="TA"/><br />
<br />
[[Bandobras Took]], the "Bullroarer", defeated an Orc-band in the Northfarthing in {{SR|1147|n}}.<ref name="TA"/><br />
<br />
In {{SR|1434|n}} his descendant [[Peregrin Took|Peregrin "Pippin" Took]] became the 20th Thain of the Took line, the 32nd in the Shire. In {{SR|1484|n}} Thain Peregrin I handed his office to his son, [[Faramir Took I]] and rode away from the Shire (later it is said that he and [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]] were laid to rest beside the bed of [[Aragorn|King Elessar]] after his passing).<ref>{{App|Later}}</ref><br />
<br />
In the [[Fourth Age]] the Great Smials became an important repository of historic books and records.<ref>{{FR|Records}}</ref><br />
==Family Tree of the Tooks of the Great Smials==<br />
Showing the line of the Thains and prominent members of the Took clan.<ref name="Took"/> The figures after the names are those of birth (and death where that is recorded). A name preceded by an '*' indicates one who held the office of the Thain. A dashed line indicates marriage.

<br />
'''Dol Guldur''' ("Hill of Sorcery" in [[Sindarin]]),<ref>{{S|Index}}</ref> also called "the dungeons of the Necromancer",<ref>{{H|1}}</ref><ref>''"The sins of Middle Earth, Tolkien's use of Allegory"''. Chapter 6. Greenwood Press. pp. 86.</ref> was a stronghold of [[Sauron]] located in the south of [[Mirkwood]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Dol Guldur was originally known as '''[[Amon Lanc]]''' ("Bald Hill") in [[Mirkwood|Greenwood the Great]].<ref>{{UT|Gladden}}, note 12, p. 280</ref> It had been the capital of [[Oropher]]'s [[Silvan Elves]], who had departed north to the Dark Mountains<ref>{{UT|Gladden}}, note 14, p. 280</ref> (later known as the [[Mountains of Mirkwood]]).<br />
<br />
Somewhere after {{TA|1000}}, an evil presence took over Amon Lanc. It was in {{TA|1050|n}} that a [[shadow]] fell upon Greenwood and it began to be called [[Mirkwood]].<ref name="TA">{{App|TA}}</ref> The hostile entity was known as "the [[Necromancer]]" by the peoples. [[Thranduil]] son of [[Oropher]] led his people over the [[Forest River]], where they remained.<ref>{{UT|6b}}, p. 259</ref><br />
[[File:John Howe - Pass the Doors of Dol Guldur.jpg|thumb|left|[[John Howe]] - ''Pass the Doors of Dol Guldur'']]<br />
The [[White Council|Council of the Wise]] long feared the Necromancer might be none other than [[Sauron]] himself who secretly regained his powers after his defeat in the [[War of the Last Alliance]]. In {{TA|2063|n}} [[Gandalf]] went to Dol Guldur, and the "Necromancer", not yet powerful, fled to the [[East]] so as not to be identified.<br />
<br />
After [[Watchful Peace|four centuries]] in {{TA|2460|n}}, just as [[the One Ring]] was found by [[Sméagol]] the [[Stoors|Stoor]], the "Necromancer" returned there.<ref name="TA"/><br />
<br />
A dark [[shadow]] and cloud flowed from Dol Guldur whereas a golden mist that came from [[Lothlórien]] to the west contended with the darkness coming from Mirkwood. In {{TA|2510}} when [[Eorl]] the Young was leading his riders to the [[Battle of the Field of Celebrant]] he steered his force westward to avoid the phenomenon of the shadow, and they entered the mist.<ref>{{UT|Cirion}}, p. 298</ref><br />
<br />
In {{TA|2845|n}} [[Thráin|Thráin II]], [[Kings of Durin's Folk|King of Durin's Folk]]-in-exile and holder of the [[Ring of Thrór|last]] of the [[Seven Rings]] of the [[Dwarves]], was on his way to the [[Lonely Mountain]]. He was captured near the eaves of Mirkwood, imprisoned and tortured in Dol Guldur's dungeons, and his Ring taken from him. In {{TA|2850|n}} Gandalf again entered Dol Guldur, found the dying Thráin, and was entrusted with the [[Thrór's Map|map]] and key to give to [[Thorin]], although Thráin could not tell him his own or his son's name before he died. Gandalf confirmed that the Necromancer, the master of Dol Guldur at that time, was Sauron.<ref name="TA"/><br />
[[File:Angus McBride - Dol Guldur.jpg|thumb|Angus McBride - ''Dol Guldur'']]<br />
Gandalf returned to the [[White Council]] and urged an attack on Dol Guldur, but was overruled by [[Saruman]], who secretly had begun searching for the One Ring in the area by then. In {{TA|2941}} Saruman finally agreed to an attack, which occurred at the same time as the [[Quest of Erebor]]. This was carefully planned by Gandalf, so that Sauron and [[Smaug]] could not assist each other, as otherwise they could easily have done. During the attack, Sauron fled to [[Mordor]], his plans now ready.<br />
<br />
In {{TA|2951|n}} Dol Guldur was reoccupied by [[Khamûl]], the second chief<ref>{{UT|Hunt}}, note 1, p. 352</ref>, and two other [[Nazgûl]].<ref name="TA"/><br />
<br />
In the following decades Dol Guldur must have rebuilt some of its power until the [[War of the Ring]], during which its forces made assaults upon the [[Woodland Realm]] and [[Lothlórien|Lórien]],<ref name=great/> causing grievous damage to the outlying woodlands. However each time they were driven back by [[Thranduil]] and [[Galadriel]] who held the power of [[Nenya]]; which only Sauron himself could have overcome.<br />
<br />
Dol Guldur was finally destroyed and cleansed by the [[Elves]] of Lórien, led by [[Galadriel]], after Sauron's fall.<ref name=great>{{App|Great}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
''Dol Guldur'' is [[Sindarin]] from ''dol'' "hill" and ''[[guldur]]'' "sorcery".{{fact}}<br />
<br />
==Other versions of the legendarium==<br />
The original name of Dol Guldur was Dol Dúgol, and on [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s first map for ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' the hill was located much farther east than its later location (in square M-15 of Map II).<ref name="Map II">{{TI|MII}}, p. 305</ref> [[Christopher Tolkien]] explained that Map II had faint traces of green which suggested that Mirkwood originally extended farther to the east too.<ref>{{TI|First}}, p. 298</ref> The name Dol Dúgol was stricken out and the hill was moved to its later location on this map, but its name became Dol Dúghul before finally changing to Dol Guldur.<ref name="Map II"/><br />

:Dol Guldur is depicted as a ruined and abandoned fortress of unknown origin. It features statues of the Nazgûl. [[Radagast]], not [[Gandalf]], enters Dol Guldur. He is attacked by the [[Witch-king]], obtains a [[Morgul-knife|Morgul blade]], and finds that Dol Guldur is occupied by a [[Sauron|Necromancer]]. He then travels to Gandalf to tell him the news and gives him the sword as proof.<br />

'''2013: ''[[The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug]]'':'''<br />
:Gandalf enters Dol Guldur to investigate its ruins. There he meets [[Azog]] and his army. He tries to escape, but is trapped by [[Sauron|the Necromancer]], who reveals to Gandalf his true identity. Gandalf is later seen trapped in one of the cages.<br />

'''2014: ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]'':'''<br />
:[[Galadriel]] enters Dol Guldur in order to rescue Gandalf. Accompanied by [[Saruman]] and [[Elrond]] they encounter Sauron and [[Nazgûl|the Nine]]. The [[Attack on Dol Guldur|Attack]] begins and Sauron flees to [[Mordor|the East]].<br />

'''2004: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring]]'':'''<br />
:Dol Guldur makes appearance during both "Good" and "Evil" campaigns as a site of a major battleground.<br />
<br />
'''2006: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II]]'':'''<br />
:Dol Guldur is commanded by the [[Mouth of Sauron]], not [[Khamûl]]. Dol Guldur (or Mordor itself) sent a huge army of Orcs, Haradrim, and Trolls to assault [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]]. The attack fails, and the Mouth of Sauron is killed along with all the attacking force. Dol Guldur is then itself attacked by a combined army of Elves and Dwarves led by [[Elrond]], [[Arwen]], [[Glorfindel]], [[Glóin]], and [[Dáin Ironfoot]]. After a long and hard struggle, the Elves and Dwarves finally overrun Dol Guldur and lay waste to the evil that dwelled there, ending Sauron's war campaign in the North once and for all.<br />
<br />
:In the Evil Campaign, the Goblins from Dol Guldur eliminate the Elves and the Ents that guard the Forest Road in Mirkwood.<br />
<br />
'''2007: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''<br />
:Dol Guldur is a central point in the game's second expansion, ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood]]''. In its storyline, Celeborn and Galadriel organize a military campaign against Dol Guldur while the Fellowship still resides in Lothlórien (not to be confused with the later battle during the War of the Ring). The announced goal is to sow chaos into Orc forces by destroying as many of their troops, weapons and supplies as possible, to delay an inevitable assault upon Lothlórien. The true purpose, however, is to distract the Eye of Sauron from the company departing down the shores of Anduin. An assault by the Golden Host of the Galadhrim is successful despite minor losses and after establishing multiple camps throughout southern Mirkwood arrives at the walls of the fortress itself. However, without the White Lady they do not have the means of bringing down the walls, so the Elves prepare to swiftly fall back beyond Anduin before the main forces of the Enemy arrive. The players can also explore multiple locations within the Fortress, among them the Necromancer's Gate, the Ringwraith's Lair, the Dungeons of Dol Guldur, the chief tower named Barad Guldur and Sammath Gul - the chambers once occupied by the Dark Lord himself.<br />

'''Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, née [[Bracegirdle Family|Bracegirdle]]''' ({{TA|2918}} - {{TA|3020|n}}, died aged 102) was the second child, and only daughter, of [[Primrose Bracegirdle|Primrose Boffin]] and [[Blanco Bracegirdle]]. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Lobelia was born in [[Hardbottle]] and was renowned in the [[The Shire]] for her temper and greed. She married [[Bilbo Baggins]]'s cousin [[Otho Sackville-Baggins]], and they had one child together, [[Lotho Sackville-Baggins|Lotho]], who was born in {{SR|1364}}.<ref name="Bag">{{App|Baggins}}</ref><br />
<br />
Her envy of [[Bag End]] was well-known; <ref name="Return">{{H|Return}}</ref> she could not wait to inherit it, and was furious when [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] made [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] his heir. However, when Frodo left for [[Crickhollow]] he sold Bag End to Lobelia, but unfortunately Otho had died by then.<ref name="Party">{{FR|Part}}</ref> <br />
<br />
During the [[War of the Ring]], Lobelia was imprisoned in [[Lockholes]] for arguing with the [[Chief Shirriff|Chief]]'s Men, and attacking one of them with an umbrella. When she came out, Lobelia was popular for the first time for bravely standing up to the [[Saruman]]'s [[Ruffians|Men]]. However, she was crushed to find out her son had been murdered whilst she was in prison.<br />
<br />
After the War of the Ring, Lobelia returned to her home village to live with the other [[Bracegirdle Family|Bracegirdle]]s, giving Bag End to Frodo. When she died, she gave her money to Frodo to be used to help [[hobbits]] left homeless by Saruman and her son.<ref name="Grey">{{RK|Havens}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
[[Wikipedia:Lobelia|Lobelia]] is a genus of the bellflower family, named after [[Wikipedia:Matthias de L'Obel|Matthias de L'Obel]].<ref>{{HM|IE}}, "Giving of Names" p.195</ref> Some species are commonly grown as garden flowers.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Bolger Family''' was a Hobbit family of [[Fallohides|Fallohidish]] origin<ref name="trans">{{App|Translation}}</ref> associated with the village of [[Budgeford]], on [[The Water]] in the [[Eastfarthing]] of [[the Shire]].<ref>{{FR|I5}}</ref> In common with the [[Brandybuck Family|Brandybucks]] and the [[Took Family|Tooks]], the Bolgers had a penchant for heroic names,<ref name="trans"/> and so as well as [[Fredegar Bolger|Fredegar]], we find such noble names as [[Fastolph Bolger|Fastolph]], [[Gundabald Bolger|Gundabald]] and [[Odovacar Bolger|Odovacar]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name '''Bolger''' is a reference to the "bulged" size of the average Hobbit belly, referring to their fatness and tubbiness and presumably begun as a nickname.<ref>{{HM|N}}</ref><br />
<br />
Both Bolger and Bulger are real-life English surnames although not necessarily of the same etymology.<br />
<br />
It was a translation of Westron '''[[Bolgra]]''' of similar meaning.<br />

During Tar-Elendil's reign, [[Vëantur]], the [[Captain of the King's Ships]], became the first [[Númenóreans|Númenórean]] to return to [[Middle-earth]]. In the year {{SA|600}}, he arrived at the [[Grey Havens]] with his ship ''[[Entulessë]]'', and met [[Gil-galad|Ereinion Gil-galad]], [[High King of the Noldor]].<ref>{{UT|Numenor}}</ref> Vëantur's daughter, [[Almarian]], wedded Tar-Meneldur, and their child [[Tar-Aldarion|Aldarion]] inherited his grandfather's love of the sea.<ref>{{UT|Wife}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tar-Elendil had three children: two daughters, [[Silmariën]] and [[Isilmë]]; and one son, [[Írimon]].<ref>{{UT|earlier}}</ref> Silmariën was the eldest child, but because of the law of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnatic_primogeniture agnatic primogeniture] that existed in Númenor at that time, Írimon inherited the Sceptre and ruled as [[Tar-Meneldur]]. Silmariën became important in her own right as the link of the [[Lords of Andúnië]] to the royal house; her son was [[Valandil (Lord of Andúnië)|Valandil]], the first Lord.<ref name="Kings"/> Furthermore, Tar-Elendil also passed the [[Ring of Barahir]] down to Silmariën instead of his son; this choice, over ''many'' generations, allowed [[Aragorn]] to bear this heirloom during his coronation at the end of the [[War of the Ring]].<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
Elendil means "Friend of the [[Elves]]" in Quenya (from ''[[elen]]'' "star, Elf" and ''-ndil'' "friend, lover, devoted to"). Like all the rulers of Númenor who took their royal names in Quenya, Elendil added the prefix ''tar-'' ("high") to his name when he received the Scepter.<br />
<br />
Tar-Elendil's [[Adûnaic]] name was "Ar-[[Nimruzîr]]" although it is not mentioned by Tolkien.<ref>[http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/adunaic.htm Ardalambion Article on Adûnaic]</ref><br />

'''Durin IV''' (Lived during late [[Second Age]] or early [[Third Age]]) was a King of [[Durin's folk]] who ruled the great [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] city of [[Moria|Khazad-dûm]], and the fourth king to have the name Durin. Like his father he bore a [[Ring of Thrór|Ring of Power]].<ref name="Durin">{{App|Durin}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Like all Durins after [[Durin|Durin I]], he was given the name of the first of the [[Seven Fathers of the Dwarves]] because he greatly resembled him in both appearance and manner. Indeed it was believed among the Dwarves that he was the reincarnation of Durin I, though whether this is possible is unclear.<ref name="Durin"/> Durin IV was the King of Durin's Folk during the [[War of the Last Alliance]], and he sent an army of Dwarves to fight alongside the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
''Durinn'' is one of the Dwarfs in the ''[[Völuspá|Dvergatal]]''. The name means "Sleepy".<ref>Chester Nathan Gould, "Dwarf-Names: A Study in Old Icelandic Religion", published in ''Publications of the Modern Language Association of America'', Vol 44 (1929), issue #4, pp. 939-967</ref><br />

'''Tom Bombadil''' was an enigmatic figure that lived throughout the history of [[Arda]]. Living in the depths of the [[Old Forest]], he seemed to possess unequaled power in the land around his dwelling. Although seemingly benevolent, he took no stance against the [[Dark Lord]]s.<br />
<br />
His existence passed into Hobbit lore and was referenced in poems such as ''[[The Adventures of Tom Bombadil]]''. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
[[Image:Olanda Fong-Surdenas - Tom Bombadil.jpg|thumb|left|250px|''Tom Bombadil'' by Olanda Fong-Surdenas]]<br />
{{quote|He is a strange creature.|[[Elrond]], ''[[The Council of Elrond]]''}}<br />
The origins and [[Tom Bombadil/Nature|nature of Tom Bombadil]] are unknown; however, he already existed when the [[Morgoth|Dark Lord]] came to [[Arda]],<ref name="house">{{FR|Bombadil}}</ref> signifying he was alive even before the coming of the [[Valar]].<br />
<br />
His role and nature in the [[Elder Days]] is unknown, but he must have witnessed most of the major events and battles. He also witnessed the reducing of the great forests that covered all [[Middle-earth]], and perhaps of his powers.<ref name="CoE"/> <br />
<br />
The level of his interactions with the outside world is also unclear; however, he seemed to have a name among many peoples and perhaps became a folkloric figure in the traditions and legends of Elves, Dwarves and Men.<ref name="CoE"/><ref name="Adv">{{AB|Preface}}</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Third Age]], Tom Bombadil lived in a little house by the river [[Withywindle]] in the [[Old Forest]], together with his lovely wife [[Goldberry]]. He had contact with the [[Bucklanders]]<ref name="Adv"/> and [[Farmer Maggot]], and perhaps it was this to which he owed his jolly and whimsical attitude.<br />
<br />
However, since he was merry and benevolent, some of the Free Peoples considered him a potential ally (for example, [[Elrond]] and [[Erestor]] considered that he should be present at the [[Council of Elrond]]). However, according to [[Gandalf]], Tom Bombadil was perhaps not fully aware of the struggle of Light and Darkness and could not prove useful to their causes.<ref name="CoE"/><br />
<br />
===War of the Ring===<br />
[[Image:Ted Nasmith - The Willow Man is Tamed.jpg|thumb|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''The Willow Man is Tamed'']]<br />
On [[26 September]], {{TA|3018}}, he encountered [[travellers|four hobbits]] while he was searching for water-lilies for his wife. Two of those Hobbits, [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]], had been captured by [[Old Man Willow]]. Tom, who was the master of the Old Forest, rescued them, and took all four of them to his house.<ref name="OldF">{{FR|Forest}}</ref><br />
<br />
The four hobbits stayed two nights, and he told them many tales and songs. With cunning questions, he made [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] tell him of the [[The One Ring|Ring]]. When Tom tried it on, nothing happened, but he then took it off and flipped it in the air and made the ring itself disappear, showing that indeed within his realm Tom was master. However, when Frodo put the ring on, Tom could still see him. He bade the Hobbit to come back and sit down; his hand was fairer without the ring.<br />
<br />
The following morning, Tom warned his guests of the [[Barrow-downs]], and advised them to pass any barrow on the western side. He also taught them a song, should they come to peril.<ref name="house"/><br />
<br />
And they did come to peril. Tom chased off a [[Barrow-wights|wight]] with song, and broke the spells on the barrow in which the four hobbits were captured. While he sent the Hobbits into calm down, he went for provisions. He also brought the ponies that had belonged to Merry. After that, he broke the spells of the barrow. From the barrow's mighty hoard, he took a brooch for Goldberry, and gave a [[Daggers of Westernesse|dagger]] to each of the hobbits. He then advised them to make for ''[[The Prancing Pony]]'' in [[Bree]].<ref>{{FR|Barrow}}</ref><br />
<br />
The peril of the hobbits was not over; an attack on their lives was carried out, and their ponies were set loose. The ponies apparently remembered the care they were given in the house of Tom Bombadil, and returned to stay beside Tom's own pony, [[Fatty Lumpkin]]. He returned them to [[Barliman Butterbur]], the proprietor of ''The Prancing Pony''. Since he had paid eighteen pence as compensation for the loss, he was now the owner of five fine ponies.<ref>{{FR|Knife}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology and other names==<br />
Tom Bombadil went by many names: <br />
* To the [[Elves]] and [[Dúnedain]], he was known as '''''[[iaur|Iar]][[gwain|wain]] [[penadar|Ben-adar]]''''', which translates to "oldest and fatherless".<ref name="CoE">{{FR|Council}}</ref> Iarwain literally means "Old-young"<ref>''[[The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion]]'' p. 128; quoting an unpublished letter by Tolkien</ref><br />
* To [[Men]] of the [[Vales of Anduin]] and [[Rohan]], he was known as '''''Orald'''''.<ref name="CoE"/> This is an [[Old English]] word meaning "very ancient.<ref name="nomen">{{HM|N}}, p, 761</ref><br />
* The Dwarves knew him as '''''Forn'''''. This too is a reference to his age: it is [[North Germanic languages|Old Norse]] for "(belonging to) ancient (days)".<ref name="nomen"/> In some imprints of ''[[The History of Middle-earth Index]]'', this name was accidentally spelled with a "P" as the first letter.<ref>{{HM|IX}}, "Tom Bombadil (VII)", p. 435</ref><br />
* ''Tom Bombadil'' is said to be a [[Buckland|Bucklandish]] name, added by Hobbit chroniclers to his many older ones. It is, like many names of the Bucklanders, untranslatable.<ref name="Adv"/><br />

==Inspiration==<br />
<br />
Tom Bombadil was inspired primarily from a doll Tolkien's son, Michael, toyed with.{{fact}}<br />
<br />
[[Paula Marmor]] notes that ''bobadil'' is an archaic word meaning "braggart", as seen in the character "Captain Bobadill" in the English play ''[[Wikipedia:Every Man in His Humour|Every Man in His Humour]]''. Because of its Bucklandish form, ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'' lists the name Bombadil under the "[[Celtic]]-sounding names". However, it is said that the word derives from '''[[Wikipedia:Boabdil|Boabdil]]''', the Spaniard name of [[Wikipedia:Muhammad XII of Granada|'''Abu Abdillah''' Muhammad XII]], the last Moorish ruler of Granada.<ref>[[Jim Allan]], ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', Giving of Names</ref><br />
<br />
[[John D. Rateliff]] has noted a theory launched by scholar Justin Noetzel. In the latter's paper "Beorn and Tom Bombadil: Mythology, Narrative, and The Most (Non) Essential Characters in Middle-earth", Noetzel suggests an association of Tom Bombadil with the [[Wikipedia:Celtic Otherworld|Celtic Otherworld]] and tales of the [[Wikipedia:Tuatha Dé Danann|Tuatha Dé Danann]].<ref>{{webcite|author=[[John D. Rateliff]]|articleurl=http://sacnoths.blogspot.se/2013/03/valparaiso-day-three.html|articlename=Valparaiso, Day Three|dated=12 March 2013|website=Sac|accessed=14 March 2013}}</ref><br />

==Portrayal in adaptations==<br />
<br />
Because he is left out of the three major adaptations ([[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|Ralph Bakshi]], [[The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series)|BBC's 1981 series]] and [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring|Peter Jackson's]]), Tom Bombadil's main role (providing the [[Daggers of Westernesse|Barrow-blades]]) is omitted. He does have several appearances in other adaptations, though.<br />

'''1955: ''[[The Lord of the Rings (1956 radio series)|BBC Radio's The Lord of the Rings]]'':'''<br />
:[[Norman Shelley]] voiced Bombadil, and Tolkien thought his portrayal "dreadful". [[Goldberry]] was portrayed as his daughter, rather than his wife<ref>{{L|175}}</ref>. <br />
<br />
'''1979: [[The Lord of the Rings (1979 radio series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1979 radio series)]]:'''<br />
:In this series, Tom was voiced by [[Bernard Mayes]]. Like Norman Shelley before him, he also voiced [[Gandalf]].<br />
<br />
'''1988: ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien's War in Middle Earth]]'':'''<br />
:Tom Bombadil can be found outside his house in the Old Forest.<br />
<br />
'''1990: ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Volume I]]'':'''<br />
:Tom Bombadil rescues the party from the Willow Man, and provides information, supplies, shelter, and side-quests for the party. He later rescues the party from the Barrow Wights, and very briefly joins as a temporary playable character while inside the barrow. His role runs almost directly parallel to the original, with some related passages of ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' quoted directly. However, [[Goldberry]]'s role is significantly changed to provide a quest for the party.<br />
<br />
'''1992: [[Tales from the Perilous Realm (1992 radio series)|''Tales from the Perilous Realm'' (1992 radio series)]]:'''<br />
:When he adapted the 1981 [[The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series)|radio series]], [[Brian Sibley]] deeply regretted cutting Bombadil from the radio series.<ref>[[Brian Sibley]], ''[http://briansibleytheworks.blogspot.com/2008/01/this-page-is-still-under-construction_23.html The Ring Goes Ever On]''</ref> When he made ''[[Tales from the Perilous Realm]]'' into a radio series, he decided to change the section "[[The Adventures of Tom Bombadil]]". Rather than several (unadaptable) Hobbitish poems, Sibley adapted the chapters from ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]''. Bombadil is voiced by [[Ian Hogg]].<br />
<br />
'''2001-2007: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game]]'':'''<br />
:Although Tom Bombadil does not appear in [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' film series]], Decipher produced a card for the character. He was portrayed by Harry Weller-Chew.<br />
<br />
'''2002: [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game)|''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'' (video game)]]:'''<br />
:[[Daran Norris]] portrayed Bombadil with a Scottish accent. His role is much like that in the book, and as one of the few characters in this video game, he keeps most of his songs. <br />
<br />
'''2002: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'':'''<br />
:In the [[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (extended edition)|extended edition]], some of Bombadil's poems are transferred to [[Treebeard]], and so is his encounter with [[Old Man Willow]].<br />
<br />
'''2006: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II]]'':'''<br />
:Bombadil is a summonable power. Once summoned, he can plow through enemy lines. His most powerful weapon is a "Sonic Song". As soon as [[Electronic Arts|EA]] secured the rights to the books, it was decided that Tom Bombadil should be in it; his appearance is kept close to his description in the book.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/battleformiddleearth2/news.html?sid=6139678 The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II Q&A - Enter Tom Bombadil], [http://www.gamespot.com/ GameSpot.com]</ref><br />
<br />
'''2007: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''<br />
:Tom can be found either inside or outside his house in the Old Forest. He helps the player track down crebain scouts possessing important information, and later arrives to rescue the player from the Barrow-Downs when (s)he gets himself in more than (s)he is prepared for, much like the Hobbits in the Book.<br />
<br />
'''2012: ''[[Lego: The Lord of the Rings]]'':'''<br />
:Bombadil is a playable character. He uses a trowel as a weapon and for digging in certain spots. Tom can be found in his house on the road to the north of [[Bucklebury Ferry]] in the forested area between [[Bree]] and the Shire. It is unclear if this forest is meant to be the Old Forest or not; it is in the right location, but the game never specifically names it and its physical appearance does not fit the book's description.<br />
<br />
===Collectibles===<br />
In [[April]] [[2008]], [[Gentle Giant]] released the Tom Bombadil Mini Bust.<br />

'''Menegroth''' ([[Sindarin|S]], pron. {{IPA|[meˈneɡroθ]}}), the '''Thousand Caves''', was the city in the land of [[Doriath]] which was home to king [[Thingol]] of the [[Sindar]]in elves and queen [[Melian]], one of the [[Maiar]], during the [[First Age]].<br />
<br />
=History=<br />
==Years of the Trees==<br />
During the ages of the [[Chaining of Melkor]], the [[Sindar]] had lived scattered in Beleriand, some at the havens of the [[Falas]], others in the woodlands of [[Region]] and [[Neldoreth]] where also their King [[Thingol]] and his queen [[Melian]] abode. When the third Age of Melkor's chaining began, Melian urged Thingol to build a fast place for their people. Thingol was on friendly terms with the Dwarves and he commissioned the [[Dwarves of Belegost]] to aid with the building of a fortress.<br />
<br />
Much after the manner of the Dwarves they delved an underground fortress into a rocky hill on the banks of [[Esgalduin]], where the river turned to the west. The only entrance were gates high above the river, that at this place ran in a deep ravine and was crossed by a stone bridge. The place was thereafter known as Menegroth, the Thousand Caves, because so many were the halls the Dwarves had hewn out of the rock.<br />
<br />
After the [[First Battle of Beleriand]] many Elves who had not lived in the cities fled to Doriath which was afterwards protected by the [[Girdle of Melian]]<ref name="Sindar">{{S|Sindar}}</ref>.<br />
<br />
==Years of the Sun==<br />
Menegroth and Doriath enjoyed peace for a long time. Thingol preferred a policy of isolationism and not to mingle in the affairs of the [[Noldor]], the [[War of the Jewels]] and the conflict with [[Morgoth]] in general. No host of Doriath participated in any of the great battles, except the First. Only with [[House of Finarfin|his kin]] in [[Nargothrond]] did Thingol remain in contact<ref>{{S|Noldor}}</ref><ref>{{S|Fifth}}</ref>.<br />
[[File:Felix Sotomayor - Beren at Thingol's Court.jpg|thumb|left|Felix Sotomayor - ''Beren at Thingol's Court'']]<br />
Yet Menegroth also became entangled in the fate of the [[Silmaril]] and thus the [[Oath of Feanor]] and the [[Doom of Mandos]]. When the man [[Beren]] asked for the hand of Thingol's daughter Lúthien in marriage, Thingol was affronted, thinking little of mortal men. As a bride price he demanded that Beren should bring one of the Silmarils from Morgoth's iron crown<ref name="Beren">{{S|Beren}}</ref>.<br />
With the help of Lúthien, Beren succeeded, but the price was high: [[Carcharoth]] the wolf who was guarding the Gates of [[Angband]], bit off the hand, in which Beren was holding the Silmaril. Driven mad by the pain that the hallowed stone caused to him, searing his intestines, Carcharoth ravaged Beleriand and finally broke through Melian's Girdle, threatening Menegroth. He was confronted somewhat to the north-east from the city at the banks of Esgalduin and killed by [[Huan]] the Great Hound of Valinor, having wounded Beren mortally. The Silmaril was found in his stomach and thus found its way to Menegroth.<ref name="Beren"/><br />
<br />
===The Sack of Doriath===<br />
Years later, [[Húrin Thalion]] brought as a gift the famed [[Nauglamír]] to Thingol. Thingol then had become enchanted by the beauty of the Silmaril and in his mind made up a plan, to set the Silmaril into the Nauglamír. It happened that at this time a troop of [[Dwarves of Nogrod|Dwarves from Nogrod]] were in Menegroth. Thingol offered a high price to them if they managed to set the stone into the Nauglamír. But seeing the unrivalled jewel and the necklace a great desire and greed came upon them to possess both. When they had finished their work they claimed the treasure, Thingol was slain by them and they fled from Menegroth.<ref name="Ruin">{{S|Doriath}}</ref><br />
<br />
News of the event spread fast and the Dwarves were hunted and slain. Two of them escaped and told a crooked tale about how they were betrayed and their brethren slaughtered by the Elves. The Dwarves of Nogrod rose in anger and mustered a great army. Doriath lay open to their onslaught; the Girdle was gone since Melian in deep sorrow for her husband's death had left Middle-earth.<ref name="Ruin"/><br />
[[File:Henning Janssen - Nauglamir and the Doom of Thingol.jpg|thumb|[[Henning Janssen]] - ''Nauglamir and the Doom of Thingol'']]<br />
The Dwarves invaded Doriath and found little resistance, the captains of the Sindar were indecisive and despaired, and attacked Menegroth. Many Dwarves and Elves fought in the [[Battle of the Thousand Caves]] and many were slain. [[Mablung]], captain of the guard, was slain at the doors of the treasure chamber where the Nauglamír was stored. This terrible event then lead to the distrust that thereafter was ever between Elves and Dwarves. On their way back though, the Dwarves were waylaid at [[Sarn Athrad]] by the [[Laiquendi]] led by [[Beren]] and their king was slain by Beren in single combat. The remainder of their host was destroyed by [[Ents]].<ref name="Ruin"/><br />
<br />
===The Second Kinslaying and the End of Menegroth===<br />
The Nauglamír with the Silmaril was thereafter worn by Lúthien at [[Tol Galen]] in [[Ossiriand]]. Although weakened, the Kingdom of Doriath continued for [[Dior|Dior Eluchíl]] son of Lúthien and Beren took up the crown. However, after the death of Lúthien and Beren the Nauglamír was returned to Doriath. The [[Oath of Feanor]] stirred again and [[Sons of Feanor|his sons]] stated their claim on the Silmaril. Dior refused to hand over the stone for which his parents had endured so much. [[Celegorm]] instigated his brothers and in the midst of winter their hosts deployed at the gates of Menegroth and for a second time Elves were slain by Elves.<ref name="Ruin"/><br />
<br />
Dior was slain, and of the seven Sons of Feanor only four were alive after the battle. Dior's sons, [[Eluréd]] and [[Elurín]], were abandoned in the forest to die, but his daugher [[Elwing]] fled to the havens at the [[Mouths of Sirion]], bearing the Silmaril with her. The realm of Menegroth did not endure this second slaughtering and did not rise again.<ref name="Ruin"/><br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
Menegroth was a wholly underground city accessed only through a stone bridge over Esgalduin. While the Dwarves did the major work, the Elves also participated in the construction: The pillars imitated beeches, with branches and leaves. The halls were lit by golden lanterns and there were silver fountains, and many figurines of animals. It is told that nightingales and other birds lived within the caves. Thus Thingol had the most beautiful palace a king ever had owned east of the Sea.<ref name="Sindar"/><br />
<br />
This description can be found in the [[Lay of Leithian]]:<br />
<br />
<poem><br />
…through corridors of carven dread<br />
whose turns were lit by lanterns hung<br />
or flames from torches that were flung<br />
on dragons hewn in the cold stone<br />
with jewelled eyes and teeth of bone.<br />
Then sudden, deep beneath the earth<br />
the silences with silver mirth<br />
were shaken and the rocks were ringing,<br />
the birds of Melian were singing;<br />
and wide the ways of shadow spread<br />
as into arched halls she led<br />
[[Beren]] in wonder. There a light<br />
like day immortal and like night<br />
of stars unclouded, shone and gleamed.<br />
A vault of topless trees it seemed,<br />
whose trunks of carven stone there stood<br />
like towers of an enchanted wood<br />
in magic fast for ever bound,<br />
bearing a roof whose branches wound<br />
in endless tracery of green<br />
lit by some leaf-imprisoned sheen<br />
of moon and sun, and wrought of gems,<br />
and each leaf hung on golden stems.<br />
Lo! there amid immortal flowers<br />
the nightingales in shining bowers<br />
sang o’er the head of Melian,<br />
while water for ever dripped and ran<br />
from fountains in the rocky floor.<br />
There Thingol sat. His crown he wore<br />
of green and silver, and round his chair<br />
a host in gleaming armor fair…<br />
</poem><br />
::''Lay of Leithian'', [[Lay of Leithian Canto IV|Canto IV]], lines 981-1011<br />
<br />
This description is remarkably similar to the description of Morgoth's stronghold of [[Angband]] ([[Lay of Leithian Canto XIII|Canto XII]], lines 3840-3903), suggesting that in a way Tolkien envisioned Menegroth its direct opposite as the symbol of the forces of light.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name means "Thousand Caves" and is analyzed as ''[[meneg]]'' "thousand" and ''[[groth]]'' "excavation".<ref>{{WJ|Author}}, p.414</ref><br />
<br />
In the earlier ''[[The Etymologies|Etymologies]]'' [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] explains the word is of [[Doriathrin]] language and gives the final element as Doriathrin ''[[roth]]''.<ref>{{LR|Etymologies}}, p.384 entry ROD</ref><br />

'''Fingolfin''' ([[Sindarin|S]], pron. {{IPA|[fiŋˈɡolfin]}}) was a [[High King of the Noldor]] in [[Beleriand]], eldest son of [[Finwë]] and [[Indis]], younger brother of [[Findis]], older brother of [[Írimë]] and [[Finarfin]], and the younger half-brother of [[Fëanor]]. His wife was [[Anairë]] and his children were [[Fingon]], [[Turgon]], [[Aredhel]], and [[Argon]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Fingolfin was the strongest and most valiant of the sons of Finwë. <ref>{{S|5}}</ref> Having different mothers, he and his older half-brother Fëanor never felt a close bond with each other. This lack of affinity developed into rivalry when [[Morgoth|Melkor]] secretly told each of them that the other was planning on driving them out of [[Tirion]]. [[File:Tuuliky - Half Brothers.jpg|thumb|left|Tuuliky - ''Half Brothers'']]<br />
<br />
During the days of the [[Two Trees]] in [[Valinor]], as Melkor's lies were taking root in Noldor minds, a number of the Noldor started to actually believe that the [[Valar]] were somehow restraining them from going back to [[Cuiviénen]] in Middle-earth. Melkor's cunning had caused the suspicions he sowed to outweigh the Noldor's knowledge that the greatest Gift of the Valar was total free will.<br />
<br />
Fëanor was the first to speak against the Valar, and [[Finwë]] summoned all of the lords of his house to resolve the issue. As Fingolfin was contending with his father to convince him to restrain Fëanor, the latter arrived fully armed with weapons he had secretly forged. Even though Fingolfin accepted him as his senior, Fëanor threatened Fingolfin, who was unarmed, with his sword, after which Fingolfin bowed to his father Finwë and left, only to be followed by Fëanor and threatened again in public.<ref>{{S|Unrest}}</ref> This threat, in the main square in front of the Mindon, King Finwë's seat, was witnessed by many as Fëanor drew his sword and placed the point to Fingolfin's breast.<br />

In the face of this public humiliation, Fingolfin turned quietly and walked away without a word to Fëanor, in an effort to avoid division and dissention within his father's House, and among the Noldor.<br />
<br />
After the escape of Melkor from Valinor, during the feast Manwë held for the reconciliation of the Eldar, Fingolfin publicly forgave Fëanor and called him "Half-brother in blood, full brother in heart".<ref>{{S|8}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Journey to Middle-earth===<br />
After King Finwë died, murdered by Morgoth, Fëanor rallied up the Noldor and gave a passionate speech. Nearly all of the Noldor followed him, along with his two half-brothers. Fingolfin led the largest host of the Ñoldor when they fled [[Aman]] for [[Middle-earth]], even though he thought this unwise; he did not want to abandon his people to Fëanor. As days passed in their exile, more and more of the Noldor started speaking against Fëanor, for their journey was difficult, and they feared the prophecy of [[Mandos]]. After Fëanor's Noldor acquired the ships of the [[Teleri]] following the [[First Kinslaying]], Fëanor and his followers used them to sail across the sea. Fëanor burned the ships after reaching Middle-earth, stranding the others, for he thought the followers of Fingolfin would prove to be useless.<br />
<br />
Fingolfin and his people saw the smoke of the ships from afar, and chose to travel through the ice desert, for they were ashamed to go back to Valinor, and were angry at Fëanor. Fingolfin took them across the ice of the [[Helcaraxë]], the journey was hard and many died, yet they were filled with hope when they saw the Moon for the first time. Soon after, at the rising of the Sun, he came to the [[Gates of Angband]] and smote upon them, but [[Morgoth]] stayed hidden inside. Fingolfin and the Noldor, realising they could not be victorious in this way, then came to the northern shores of [[Lake Mithrim]], from which the Fëanorian part of the host had withdrawn.<br />
<br />
===Kingship===<br />
[[File:J.R.R. Tolkien - Fingolfin Heraldic Device.jpg|left|100px]]<br />
Shortly after Fëanor's death, his oldest son Maedhros was captured by Morgoth. Learning this, Fingolfin's oldest son [[Fingon]] rescued [[Maedhros]], with whom he was a good friend. Maedhros consequently waived his claim to kingship. Thus Fingolfin became High-King of the [[Noldor]]. He ruled from [[Hithlum]], by the northern shores of [[Lake Mithrim]].<ref>{{S|Return}}</ref><br />

After defeating the [[Orcs]] in the [[Dagor Aglareb]] ("Glorious Battle"), Fingolfin maintained the [[Siege of Angband]] for nearly four hundred years. But the Siege was ended by the sudden assaults of Morgoth in the [[Dagor Bragollach]] ("Battle of Sudden Flame"), and many peoples of Beleriand fled. In the end Fingolfin rode to Angband alone to challenge Morgoth to single combat. Those who saw him thought Oromë himself had arrived; for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar. Fingolfin died there after a mighty duel, wounding Morgoth seven times with his sword [[Ringil]], and struck one last punishing blow to Morgoth's foot before he broke the High King.<ref>{{S|Fingolfin}}</ref> Morgoth's wounds never healed after that battle, and he limped everafter. [[Thorondor]] the King of Eagles then brought Fingolfin's body to a mountaintop overlooking [[Gondolin]], and [[Turgon]] built a [[Fingolfin's Cairn|cairn]] over the remains of his father.<br />

'''Fingolfin''' ([[Sindarin|S]], pron. {{IPA|[fiŋˈɡolfin]}}) was a [[High King of the Noldor]] in [[Beleriand]], eldest son of [[Finwë]] and [[Indis]], younger brother of [[Findis]], older brother of [[Írimë]] and [[Finarfin]], and the younger half-brother of [[Fëanor]]. His wife was [[Anairë]] and his children were [[Fingon]], [[Turgon]], [[Aredhel]], and [[Argon]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Fingolfin was the strongest and most valiant of the sons of Finwë. <ref>{{S|5}}</ref> Having different mothers, he and his older half-brother Fëanor never felt a close bond with each other. This lack of affinity developed into rivalry when [[Morgoth|Melkor]] secretly told each of them that the other was planning on driving them out of [[Tirion]]. [[File:Tuuliky - Half Brothers.jpg|thumb|left|Tuuliky - ''Half Brothers'']]<br />
<br />
During the days of the [[Two Trees]] in [[Valinor]], as Melkor's lies were taking root in Noldor minds, a number of the Noldor started to actually believe that the [[Valar]] were somehow restraining them from going back to [[Cuiviénen]] in Middle-earth. Melkor's cunning had caused the suspicions he sowed to outweigh the Noldor's knowledge that the greatest Gift of the Valar was total free will.<br />
<br />
Fëanor was the first to speak against the Valar, and [[Finwë]] summoned all of the lords of his house to resolve the issue. As Fingolfin was contending with his father to convince him to restrain Fëanor, the latter arrived fully armed with weapons he had secretly forged. Even though Fingolfin accepted him as his senior, Fëanor threatened Fingolfin, who was unarmed, with his sword, after which Fingolfin bowed to his father Finwë and left, only to be followed by Fëanor and threatened again in public.<ref>{{S|Unrest}}</ref> This threat, in the main square in front of the Mindon, King Finwë's seat, was witnessed by many as Fëanor drew his sword and placed the point to Fingolfin's breast.<br />
<br />
In the face of this public humiliation, Fingolfin turned quietly and walked away without a word to Fëanor, in an effort to avoid division and dissention within his father's House, and among the Noldor.<br />
<br />
