−	Aragorn and his [[Rangers of the North\|Rangers]] kept watch over the border of [[the Shire]] waiting for sight of Frodo.

He watched as [[Frodo Baggins]], the leader of the party, fell from a table and disappeared as he put the ring on. Aragorn, whose name was given as Strider, seemed to show no surprise, only annoyance at Frodo’s foolish vanishing act. He arranged for an interview that night, where he warned them of the [[Nazgûl\|Black Riders]] and [[Bill Ferny]], then bluntly requested that they use him as a guide. After some consideration, and a note given them by the forgetful [[Barliman Butterbur]] from Gandalf condoning him, Frodo agreed.	+	When Aragorn returned to his area, tThe [[Elves]] who followed [[Gildor Inglorion]] told Aragorn the Black Riders were had been seen, and Gandalf had been missing and there were no messages from him.

	Aragorn’s plan to reach Rivendell was to first head toward [[Archet]] and bear right to [[Weathertop]]. After the [[Ambush at Weathertop]] and the wounding of Frodo, [[Meriadoc Brandybuck\|Merry]] took over the position as leader of the Hobbits.
