| [[Frodo Baggins]] is appointed to be the '''Ring-bearer''' by the [[Council of Elrond]] in [[Rivendell]]. He was to carry the [[One Ring]] from Rivendell to the [[Crack of Doom]] in [[Mordor]] and destroy it before [[Sauron]]'s minions, the [[Ringwraiths]] could retrieve it for their [[Dark Lord]]. | | #REDIRECT [[Ring-bearers]] |

| The title is also given to two other [[hobbit]]s who carried the [[One Ring]]. They were [[Bilbo Baggins]] and Frodo's companion [[Sam Gamgee]] (who carried it briefly in [[Mordor]]). Because of their position as Ring-bearers, they were granted the right to travel to the [[Undying Lands]].

| One interpretation of the Ring-bearer role, may be found in [[Peter Kjaerulff]]'s ''[[The Ringbearer's Diary]]''. Frodo's carrying the ring all the way back to Mt. Doom, symbolizes the task of carrying the weight of destructive emotions all the way to their origin. The ring symbolizes the central "knot" of the negative emotions.
