The '''Phial of Galadriel''' or '''Star-glass''', was the gift that [[Galadriel]]'s bestowed to [[Frodo Baggins]] upon his departure from [[Lothlórien]].<ref>''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', [[Farewell to Lórien]].</ref>

==History==
As Frodo, Sam and Gollum approached the [[Stairs of Cirith Ungol]], Frodo sees a great mass of cavalrymen led by the [[Lord of the Nazgûl]]. When the Witch-king stops, Frodo fears that he had spotted them; against his will, Frodo moves his hand towards the [[One Ring|ring]]. However he touches the Phial - which he had forgotten - and the Witch-king ends his pause and continues on his way.<ref>''[[The Two Towers]]'', [[The Stairs of Cirith Ungol]].</ref>

Both Frodo and [[Samwise Gamgee]] used the phial to fend off the attacks of [[Shelob]], and escape her [[Shelob's Lair|lair]] on the borders of [[Mordor]].<ref>''[[The Two Towers]]'', [[Shelob's Lair (chapter)|Shelob's Lair]].</ref> Sam later used it to overcome the will of the [[Two Watchers]] at the [[Tower of Cirith Ungol]].<ref>''[[The Return of the King]]'', [[The Tower of Cirith Ungol]].</ref> Sam also attempted to use the light in the [[Crack of Doom]] but the light from the glass faded because they were in the heart of [[Sauron]]'s domain.<ref>''[[The Return of the King]]'', [[Mount Doom (chapter)|Mount Doom]]</ref>

When [[Gollum]] led Frodo and Sam into Shelob's Lair, Frodo exclaims in [[Quenya]], "Aiya Eärendil Elenion Ancalima!"; this translates as "Hail Eärendil, brightest of stars!". This is in reference to the light of the star of [[Eärendil]], the [[Silmaril]] he wore upon his brow, the brightest star in the sky.<ref>''[[The Silmarillion]]'',[[Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath]]</ref> It was the light of this star which is trapped within the Star-glass.

Upon Frodos departure from [[Middle-earth]], the light from the phial faded as it reached the shores of [[Eldamar]].<ref>''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', [[Farewell to Lórien]].</ref>

Boromir's belt

2009-05-29T19:14:33Z

205.122.213.2:

Before the [[Company of the Ring]] left [[Lothlórien]], each of its members was presented with a gift by [[Galadriel]]. Boromir was given a belt of gold. After his death, when [[Aragorn]], [[Gimli]] and [[Legolas]] laid him in his burial boat, "the golden belt of Lórien gleamed about his waist." Later on, [[Faramir son of Denethor II|Faramir]] told [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] and [[Sam]] that one night he saw the boat by [[Anduin]] and Boromir lay there dead. Only one thing did he not recognize: "a fair belt, as it were of linked golden leaves, about his waist." Frodo said to Faramir that the belt was given to him in Lórien and just because of that "that was indeed Boromir as I knew him", said he.

'''Boromir''' was the eldest son of [[Denethor II]], older brother of [[Faramir son of Denethor II|Faramir]]. He was one of the Nine Walkers who made up the [[Fellowship of the Ring]].

== History ==
Boromir was born in 2978, was five years before his brother Faramir. Between the brothers there was great love, and had been since childhood, when Boromir was the helper and protector of Faramir. He was only ten years old when their mother Finduilas died, and after her death their father became grim and remote. Boromir was beloved by his father and was like him in face and pride, but in little else. Boromir's temperament was similar to King [[Eärnur]] of old, he took no wife and was more interested in arms and warfare. He cared little for lore, save the tales of old battles.

Boromir was man of great strength and valour. He had a fair and noble face, dark haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance. When [[Sauron]] attacked [[Osgiliath]], Boromir was the commander of the company which drove back the [[Orcs]] and held the last bridge until it was destroyed behind them, to prevent the Orcs from crossing the river.

===Journey to Rivendell===
{{quote|In that dream I thought the eastern sky grew dark and there was a growing thunder, but in the West a pale light lingered, and out of it I heard a voice, remote but clear, crying:
<poem>
Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand.</poem>|Boromir; [[The Fellowship of the Ring]], [[The Council of Elrond]]}}
On the evening before Sauron's [[Battle of Osgiliath|attack on Osgiliath]], Faramir had a dream. A similar dream came to Boromir. Both Boromir and Faramir could understand little of these words, therefore they spoke to their father who was wise in the lore of [[Gondor]]. But he could only say that [[Imladris]] was a dale in the far north where [[Elrond]] lived. Faramir was eager to seek Imladris, however since the way was full of doubt and danger Boromir took the journey upon himself.

Boromir's journey took 110 days. He passed through the [[Gap of Rohan]] and travelled north through the lands west of the Misty Mountains. He faced many hardships, for that land had fallen into decay and the [[North-South Road]] no longer existed except for crumbling remains of the old causeways. He lost his horse near [[Tharbad]] while crossing the [[Greyflood]] using a dangerous ford formed by a ruined bridge. The rest of the way he travelled on foot.

When he reached [[Rivendell]], he attended the [[Council of Elrond]]. Boromir spoke to the Council of Gondor's vigilance and the struggle to keep the forces of [[Mordor]] from crossing the [[Anduin]]. However, he said, he had not come seeking military aid but counsel. When he told of the dream that had led him to Rivendell the answers to its riddles were revealed: [[Aragorn II|Aragorn]] brought out the [[Shards of Narsil]] and [[Frodo Baggins]] the [[Halflings|Halfling]] held up the [[One Ring]] that was [[Isildur]]'s Bane. There he attempted to persuade the Council to let him take the One Ring to Gondor so that it could be used in the defence of the realm. But Elrond explained that the Ring could not be used, for even though it is used for the purpose of doing good it would twist all deeds and intentions to evil in the end.

===The Fellowship of the Ring===
It was Boromir's intention to return to [[Minas Tirith]], therefore he joined the [[Fellowship of the Ring]]. When the Company of the Ring reached [[Caradhras]], Boromir advised that each of them should carry a faggot of wood. This saved the Company's life when they got caught in a blizzard on Caradhras. The next morning Boromir and Aragorn plowed their way through the snow and carried the four [[Hobbits]] back down the mountain to safety.

As the [[Redhorn Pass]] was now blocked, Boromir proposed that they should travel southward on the west side of the [[Misty Mountains]] and then either pass through the Gap of Rohan or cross the [[Isen]] and go through the southern lands of [[Langstrand]] and [[Lebennin]]. But [[Gandalf]] opposed this saying that, because of [[Saruman]]'s treachery those lands were no longer safe. He proposed that the Company should instead go through the mines of [[Moria]], but Boromir said that he would not go that way, not unless the whole company voted against him.

Boromir finally agreed, but upon reaching the [[Doors of Durin]] he was angry that [[Gandalf]] did not know the password and he threw a stone in the Dark Water. This alerted the [[Watcher in the Water]]. When Gandalf stepped into the mines the Watcher attacked Frodo, but all the Company were able to escape into the mines.

Boromir fought valiantly when the Company was attacked in the [[Chamber of Mazarbul]], and he blocked the western door and hewed at the arm of a [[Cave-trolls|Cave-troll]]. After escaping from the Chamber, the company reached the [[Bridge of Khazad-dûm]] they were again attacked by Orcs, and with them was a [[Balrog]]. Boromir sounded his [[Horn of Gondor|Great Horn]] which caused their enemies to pause, but then continued to advance. As Gandalf fought with the Balrog, Boromir and Aragorn ran towards him, but just they reached the bridge Gandalf shattered the bridge and the Balrog fell into the abyss, dragging Gandalf in as well.

Aragorn then led the Company towards [[Lothlórien]]. Boromir advised against this, saying that the woods had a perilous reputation in Gondor and that few escaped unscathed. Aragorn replied that only those who were evil or brought evil with them had reason to fear Lothlórien. After [[Galadriel]] had spoken to each member of the Company in their thoughts, Boromir was keen to know about the conversation between the Lady and the Ring-bearer, but what he thought that the Lady had offered him he did not tell. when the Company were set to depart from Lothlórien, Galadriel gave gave each of them a gift. Boromir received a [[Boromir's belt|golden Belt]].

As the Company set out down the Anduin. Boromir shared a boat with [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]]. As they travelled down the river, Boromir became increasingly consumed with thoughts of the Ring. He muttered to himself and bit his nails and sometimes paddled closer to Frodo's boat. His behavior made Merry and Pippin uneasy, and Pippin noticed a strange glint in Boromir's eye as he looked at Frodo. As the Company approached the rapids of [[Sarn Gebir]] it was Boromir who alerted them and they were able to turn back. Boromir then advised the company to leave the river and strike a westward and southward road to Gondor. But Frodo did not intend to go to Gondor, hence the Company continued on their way down the river.

When the Company reached [[Nen Hithoel]], it was time for the Company to decide their next course. When Frodo wandered off into the forest to think, Boromir followed him after a while. He tried to persuade Frodo to bring [[The Ring]] to Minas Tirith. As Boromir spoke, the lure of the Ring grew stronger in him. He envisioned himself as a mighty king who would overthrow Sauron and lead Gondor to victory and glory. When Frodo refused to accompany him to Minas Tirith, Boromir became enraged and tried to take the Ring from Frodo by force. Frodo put the Ring on and vanished, and Boromir was overwhelmed with the realization of what he had done. He wept and called for Frodo to return, but it was too late.

[[Image:Ted Nasmith - Boromir's Last Stand.jpg|thumb|right|''Boromir's Last Stand'' by [[Ted Nasmith]].]]
When Boromir returned to the Company he would only say that he had argued with Frodo and that the Hobbit had disappeared. Merry and Pippin ran off looking for their friend, and Aragorn told Boromir to follow them and guard them. Boromir did as he was asked. When he found the Hobbits they were surrounded by dozens of Orcs. Boromir slew many of them and the rest fled. He began to lead the Hobbits back to the campsite, but they were attacked again by at least 100 Orcs. Boromir sounded the Great Horn and fought valiantly to prevent the Orcs from seizing Merry and Pippin. He was pierced by many arrows and fell at last, and the Hobbits were taken prisoner.

Boromir was still alive when Aragorn found him. At least twenty Orcs lay slain around him. Boromir still held his sword, though the blade had been broken off at the hilt, and the Great Horn had been cloven in two. Before he died, Boromir told Aragorn that he had tried to take the Ring from Frodo. Then Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas laid Boromir's body in one of the boats. His shattered horn and sword they laid across his lap and the weapons of his enemies were laid at his feet. The funeral boat was taken out to the middle of the Anduin and the river carried Boromir's body over the [[Falls of Rauros]].

<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
'What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?'
'I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey;
I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor.'
'O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.

From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sand hills and the stones;
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans.
'What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve.'
'Ask not of me where he doth dwell – so many bones there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!'
'O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south, But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth.'

From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.'
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry, there many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.'
'O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze
To Raurors, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'</poem>

- [[Aragorn]] and [[Legolas]]' song of Boromir after setting his funeral boat adrift

Three nights later, Faramir was sitting by the banks of the Anduin in Osgiliath when he saw a boat float past him on the river. Faramir had heard the Great Horn sounding in the distance when Boromir was in need, and now he saw his brother's body laid out in the boat, but the Great Horn was missing. The two halves of the horn were later washed ashore and they were returned to Denethor. It was said that the boat bearing Boromir's body was borne down the Anduin and out into the Sea.

==Inspiration==
One of the many similarities between [[wikipedia:Roland|Roland]], the paladin of Charlemagne, and Boromir is that both bore a white horn.<ref>[[Gerard Seaman]], "Old French Literature", published in ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia]]'' (edited by [[Michael Drout]]), page 468-9</ref> Like Roland in battle with the Saracens blew his horn to call for Charlemagne, Boromir called for Aragorn. In both cases, help came too late.<ref>[[Wayne G. Hammond]], [[Christina Scull]], ''[[The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion]]'', page 359</ref>

== Portrayal in adaptations ==
'''1978: ''[[Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings]]'':'''
:[[Michael Graham Cox]] provided a viking version of Boromir.

'''1981: ''[[The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series)|BBC Radio's The Lord of the Rings]]'':'''
:Cox reprised his role of Boromir. In the mean time, he learned to pronounce Elvish words correctly: he came from "My Nasty Rith" in Bakshi's film, but he uses the correct pronounciation here.

'''2001: ''[[Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring]]'':'''
:Boromir is played by [[Sean Bean]]. Differing from the book, Boromir dies (killed by the [[Uruk-hai]] leader [[Lurtz]]) at the end of the film instead of the beginning of ''The Two Towers''.

'''2002: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game)|Vivendi's The Fellowship of the Ring]]'':'''
:[[James Horan]] provides the voice of Boromir, clad in blue and carrying a great shield. Horan would also voice Boromir in ''[[EA's The Battle for Middle-earth Anthology]]''.

'''2002: ''[[Peter Jackson's The Two Towers]]'':'''
:The [[The Two Towers Extended Edition|extended edition]] includes a scene not taken from the book in which Boromir and his brother Faramir see each other for the last time, and we see their father Denethor's attitude toward his two sons. At the Council of Elrond in Rivendell, Boromir says that his prophetic dream came to first his brother, Faramir, and then to him, on the night before an attack on [[Osgiliath]]. This reference to Osgiliath may be the inspiration for the flashback scene in The Two Towers.

'''2003: ''[[Peter Jackson's The Return of the King]]'':'''
:Boromir is seen in a brief flashback being pierced by arrows, as Pippin explains to Denethor the circumstances of his death. In the [[The Return of the King Extended Edition|extended edition]], he is seen again in a vision of Denethor, walking proudly towards his father until he fades away.

==Synopsis==
===Chapters===
*'''Dreamworld''': During the dwarves' visit to [[Bag End]], Bilbo falls asleep and dreams he is at the [[Battle of Five Armies]]. Bilbo has no health and is invincible in this level; this level is designed to get the player used to the controls.
*'''[[An Unexpected Party]]''': Bilbo is sent to the Green Dragon, but first he must collect provisions for [[Bombur]] and do different jobs for various Hobbits.
*'''[[Roast Mutton]]''': Bilbo is sent to investigate a fire-light. This stage introduces the first enemies: wolves, frog-like creatures and at last, [[William Huggins|Bill]], [[Tom]] and [[Bert]]. The last task involves sneaking past the Trolls.
*'''Troll-hole''': Bilbo must explore the troll cave and find the troll key, needed to open the cave. It is learned that the [[Witch-king of Angmar]] built many caves in the area (when it was still known as [[Rhudaur]]), and many of his minions still lurk there. He finds [[Lianna]], an Elf of Mirkwood, and a dagger, which he names [[Sting]].
*'''[[Over Hill and Under Hill]]''': After visiting [[Elrond]], [[Thorin and Company]] make for the [[Misty Mountains|Mountains]]. Bilbo is sent to find fire-wood, but ends up battling [[wolves]] and other weird creatures, and dodge stone-slinging [[Giants]].
*'''[[Riddles in the Dark]]''': After being caught by goblins, Bilbo is seperated from the rest of the Company. This level introdces [[Goblin-town]] as a Dwarf-mine, complete with lifts and a rollercoaster mine cart track. In this level, Bilbo meets [[Balfor]], a Dwarf of the [[Iron Hills]], and [[Ugslap]], the Goblin guard. The level ends with Bilbo finding the Ring.
:At this point, an animation starts, depicting the riddle game, followed by a story board telling of Bilbo's reuniting with the Dwarves. A second animation depicts the hiding in the trees and the rescue by the [[Eagles]]. The narrator then summarizes the story from the drop off at the edge of Mirkwood ([[Beorn]] is omitted at this stage) to the capture of the Dwarves by the spiders.
*'''[[Flies and Spiders]]''': Bilbo is lost and must find his way through a spider infested Mirkwood (in which he has to fight many poisonous spiders, as well as "minions of the [[Necromancer]]"). He meets [[Corwin]], a man of Lake-town, whose camp was attacked. Bilbo can retrieve his brother's ring for him. After that, he must rescue the dwarves from being eaten by the three giant spiders Wrath, Wicked and Wild.
*'''[[Barrels Out of Bond]]''': Bilbo and the dwarves are not safe out of Mirkwood yet. The dwarves are captured by elves and Bilbo must find a way to rescue them as well as a way to escape, while avoiding being seen by elves. This level introduces the extensive use of the [[One Ring|Ring]]. After entering the halls, Bilbo meets Lianna again, who will help him. Bilbo must find the Dwarves and herbs to drug [[Galion]], and battle the frog-like creatures and more spiders. From conversations Bilbo picks up when passing Elves the [[White Council]] is mentioned: they finally attacked [[Dol Guldur]].
*'''[[A Warm Welcome]]''': Bilbo manages to put the Dwarves in barrels, and escapes to [[Lake-town]]. In Lake-town, [[Bard I|Bard]] and [[Calamar]], the [[Master of Lake-town]], recruit Bilbo for more burgling and spying. He must stop a crime syndicate of Lake-men and Orcs, who have stolen the [[Black Arrow]]. All Dwarves are scattered around Lake-town, and many of them appear for their first time here.
*'''[[Inside Information]]''': After leaving the Long Lake, Bilbo finds the secret entrance. After nerveracking sneaking, Bilbo manages to steal the Cup of Thrór from right under [[Smaug]]'s nose. Smaug notices and is less than pleased, and Thorin sends Bilbo back to find the dragon's weak spot. After Bilbo shows off to "Smaug the Magnificent" and declares himself "Barrel-rider", Smaug confronts Bilbo, and heads off to Lake-town, where he meets his demise.
With the Dragon gone, Bilbo must find several items - the [[Necklace of Girion]], the spears of [[Bladorthin]], the Ruby of [[Gróin]] and a golden serving dish. After that, he must bridge a chasm by flooding it.
*'''[[The Gathering of the Clouds]]''': In the Lonely Mountain, Thorin has only one task for Bilbo: finding the [[Arkenstone]]. Several [[Runes|rune]]-puzzles require solving before Bilbo has to go to the Treasury, the Forge, the Gear Room and the Water Room. Though there is an entrance to the Old Treasuries, Bilbo cannot go there because it stinks too much of Dragon. After creating a new key, Bilbo finds the Arkenstone. Picking it up ends the level.
:The narrator introduces the next problem: the Men and Elves. Bilbo sneaks off and gives the Arkenstone to Thranduil and Bard, and for that, he is cursed by Thorin. When [[Dáin Ironfoot]] arrives, all seems to end in battle. But a flash of lightning marks the return of Gandalf, who informs them of Goblins.
*'''[[The Clouds Burst]]''': This level is the [[Battle of Five Armies]]. Bilbo, who stands with Gandalf and Thranduil on [[Ravenhill]], volunteers to bring a message to Bard; he is about to be attacked in the rear. During his trip he must save Corwin, and on Lianna sends him to find Beorn. After a short rampage, Beorn is captured, and Bilbo must free him by kicking over several barrels. After freeing Beorn, the game is finished: Beorn kills Bolg, who sits on a giant warg on an inaccessible dias.
:After this, the narrator starts the epilogue. Lake-town is rebuilt, Bilbo gets a reward, and walks home with Beorn and Gandalf. Neither the auction of Bag End nor the visit of [[Balin]] are featured.

== Added Characters ==
*[[Lianna]]: An [[elf]] of [[Thranduil]]'s Hall in Mirkwood, Bilbo must heal her in the Troll Cave. She eventually helps Bilbo escape from Thranduil's Hall.
*[[Corwin]]: A sad, heartbroken woodsman from Laketown. Bilbo meets him, and he says he is the only survivor of an attack of the spiders on his camp. He helps Bilbo get through an immensely thick web.
*[[Balfor]]: A dwarf of the Iron Hills who has been made a slave of the goblins. They force him to work the dwarf-built mining contraptions. Bilbo rescues him and Balfor tells him how to escape.
*[[Ugslap]]: A Goblin who is the guard of Balfor. After doing some chores for him in the assumption that it will free Balfor, Ugslap betrays Bilbo, which leads to his untimely death.

==Synopsis==
===Chapters===
*'''Dreamworld''': During the dwarves' visit to [[Bag End]], Bilbo falls asleep and dreams he is at the [[Battle of Five Armies]]. Bilbo has no health and is invincible in this level; this level is designed to get the player used to the controls.
*'''[[An Unexpected Party]]''': Bilbo is sent to the Green Dragon, but first he must collect provisions for [[Bombur]] and do different jobs for various Hobbits.
*'''[[Roast Mutton]]''': Bilbo is sent to investigate a fire-light. This stage introduces the first enemies: wolves, frog-like creatures and at last, [[William Huggins|Bill]], [[Tom]] and [[Bert]]. The last task involves sneaking past the Trolls.
*'''Troll-hole''': Bilbo must explore the troll cave and find the troll key, needed to open the cave. It is learned that the [[Witch-king of Angmar]] built many caves in the area (when it was still known as [[Rhudaur]]), and many of his minions still lurk there. He finds [[Lianna]], an Elf of Mirkwood, and a dagger, which he names [[Sting]].
*'''[[Over Hill and Under Hill]]''': After visiting [[Elrond]], [[Thorin and Company]] make for the [[Misty Mountains|Mountains]]. Bilbo is sent to find fire-wood, but ends up battling [[wolves]] and other weird creatures, and dodge stone-slinging [[Giants]].
*'''[[Riddles in the Dark]]''': After being caught by goblins, Bilbo is seperated from the rest of the Company. This level introdces [[Goblin-town]] as a Dwarf-mine, complete with lifts and a rollercoaster mine cart track. In this level, Bilbo meets [[Balfor]], a Dwarf of the [[Iron Hills]], and [[Ugslap]], the Goblin guard. The level ends with Bilbo finding the Ring.
:At this point, an animation starts, depicting the riddle game, followed by a story board telling of Bilbo's reuniting with the Dwarves. A second animation depicts the hiding in the trees and the rescue by the [[Eagles]]. The narrator then summarizes the story from the drop off at the edge of Mirkwood ([[Beorn]] is omitted at this stage) to the capture of the Dwarves by the spiders.
*'''[[Flies and Spiders]]''': Bilbo is lost and must find his way through a spider infested Mirkwood (in which he has to fight many poisonous spiders, as well as "minions of the [[Necromancer]]"). He meets [[Corwin]], a man of Lake-town, whose camp was attacked. Bilbo can retrieve his brother's ring for him. After that, he must rescue the dwarves from being eaten by the three giant spiders Wrath, Wicked and Wild.
*'''[[Barrels Out of Bond]]''': Bilbo and the dwarves are not safe out of Mirkwood yet. The dwarves are captured by elves and Bilbo must find a way to rescue them as well as a way to escape, while avoiding being seen by elves. This level introduces the extensive use of the [[One Ring|Ring]]. After entering the halls, Bilbo meets Lianna again, who will help him. Bilbo must find the Dwarves and herbs to drug [[Galion]], and battle the frog-like creatures and more spiders. From conversations Bilbo picks up when passing Elves the [[White Council]] is mentioned: they finally attacked [[Dol Guldur]].
*'''[[A Warm Welcome]]''': Bilbo manages to put the Dwarves in barrels, and escapes to [[Lake-town]]. In Lake-town, [[Bard I|Bard]] and [[Calamar]], the [[Master of Lake-town]], recruit Bilbo for more burgling and spying. He must stop a crime syndicate of Lake-men and Orcs, who have stolen the [[Black Arrow]]. All Dwarves are scattered around Lake-town, and many of them appear for their first time here.
*'''[[Inside Information]]''': After leaving the Long Lake, Bilbo finds the secret entrance. After nerveracking sneaking, Bilbo manages to steal the Cup of Thrór from right under [[Smaug]]'s nose. Smaug notices and is less than pleased, and Thorin sends Bilbo back to find the dragon's weak spot. After Bilbo shows off to "Smaug the Magnificent" and declares himself "Barrel-rider", Smaug confronts Bilbo, and heads off to Lake-town, where he meets his demise.
With the Dragon gone, Bilbo must find several items - the [[Necklace of Girion]], the spears of [[Bladorthin]], the Ruby of [[Gróin]] and a golden serving dish. After that, he must bridge a chasm by flooding it.
*'''[[The Gathering of the Clouds]]''': In the Lonely Mountain, Thorin has only one task for Bilbo: finding the [[Arkenstone]]. Several [[Runes|rune]]-puzzles require solving before Bilbo has to go to the Treasury, the Forge, the Gear Room and the Water Room. Though there is an entrance to the Old Treasuries, Bilbo cannot go there becausei t stinks too much of Dragon. After creating a new key, Bilbo finds the Arkenstone. Picking it up ends the level.
:The narrator introduces the next problem: the Men and Elves. Bilbo sneaks off and gives the Arkenstone to Thranduil and Bard, and for that, he is cursed by Thorin. When [[Dáin Ironfoot]] arrives, all seems to end in battle. But a flash of lightning marks the return of Gandalf, who informs them of Goblins.
*'''[[The Clouds Burst]]''': This level is the [[Battle of Five Armies]]. Bilbo, who stands with Gandalf and Thranduil on [[Ravenhill]], volunteers to bring a message to Bard; he is about to be attacked in the rear. During his trip he must save Corwin, and on Lianna sends him to find Beorn. After a short rampage, Beorn is captured, and Bilbo must free him by kicking over several barrels. After freeing Beorn, the game is finished: Beorn kills Bolg, who sits on a giant warg on an inaccessible dias.
:After this, the narrator starts the epilogue. Lake-town is rebuilt, Bilbo gets a reward, and walks home with Beorn and Gandalf. Neither the auction of Bag End nor the visit of [[Balin]] are featured.

== Added Characters ==
*[[Lianna]]: An [[elf]] of [[Thranduil]]'s Hall in Mirkwood, Bilbo must heal her in the Troll Cave. She eventually helps Bilbo escape from Thranduil's Hall.
*[[Corwin]]: A sad, heartbroken woodsman from Laketown. Bilbo meets him, and he says he is the only survivor of an attack of the spiders on his camp. He helps Bilbo get through an immensely thick web.
*[[Balfor]]: A dwarf of the Iron Hills who has been made a slave of the goblins. They force him to work the dwarf-built mining contraptions. Bilbo rescues him and Balfor tells him how to escape.
*[[Ugslap]]: A Goblin who is the guard of Balfor. After doing some chores for him in the assumption that it will free Balfor, Ugslap betrays Bilbo, which leads to his untimely death.

The '''Teleri''' were the third of the [[Elves|Elf]] clans who took the [[Great Journey]]. They were the ancestors of the [[Valinor]]ean Teleri (became known as the [[Falmari]]), and the [[Sindar]], [[Laiquendi]], and [[Nandor]] of [[Middle-earth]].

The '''[[Nelyar]]''' ("The Third") was the largest of the three houses of the Elves. According to legend, the Teleri were descended from [[Enel]], the third Elf to [[Awakening of the Elves|awake]] in [[Cuiviénen]], his spouse Enelyë and their seventy-two companions; most of the [[Avari]] originally belonged to this clan. But it was [[Elwë]], the first of the Teleri to come to Valinor, who became their king.

In ancient times they named themselves '''[[Lindar]]''', or "Singers", because they were known for their fair voice.

==History==
=== During the Great Journey ===

When the [[Valar]] decided to bring the Quenti to [[Valinor]], they choose three ambassadors. [[Ingwe]], [[Finwe]] and [[Elwe]] traveled there and tried to convice their people to make the journey. Many of them, particularly of the Nelyar clan, refused, and were named [[Avari]], "The Unwilling".

The Teleri clan, led by Elwe and his brother [[Olwe]] was the last clan to depart, and they were the only ones who were unwilling to leave the wild lands of Middle-Earth. After traveling for many years, the Teleri stopped near river Anduin being frightened by the Hithaeglir (Misty Mountains). Then a group led by Lenwe departed from the journey and headed south. They were called the Nandor. Eventually, the other Teleri passed the Misty Mountains and dwelled in eastern beleriad near river Gelion.

That was the time when Elwe fell in love with [[Melian]] and disunited from Teleri, standing in the forest of Nan Elmoth for a long time only staring at her. Some Teleri, especially his friends and relatives were searching him for a long time.

When Vanyar and Noldor tavelled into the West, the Teleri were living in Gelion and did not hear Ulmo's call. When they learned that the others had traveled, they headed to the shores of Beleriad near the mouth of river Cirion waiting for [[Ulmo]].The Maia Osse kept them company while they waited, and became their friend. After seeing that Elwe disappeared, they made Olwe their only King.

Later, when Ulmo arrived again with the island ferry, most of the Teleri agreed to travel. Again, there were some who wanted to stay with Osse, and they were known as Falathrim, led by Cirdan.

=== After the Great Journey ===

The island was stabilized by Ulmo near the Bay of Eldamar, and it was named [[Tol Eressea]], ''The Lonely Island''. Teleri lived there for many years until they felt that they should see other Eldar who lived in Valinor. With the help of Osse they built ships and traveled to the coasts of Valinor, where they dwelt. There Olwe built [[Alqualonde]], the gratest city of Teleri, and its people were united with the people of [[Tirion]] and Finwe.

Later, when Melkor stole the Sillmarilli, The Noldor led by Feanor demanded that the Teleri let them use their ships. When the Teleri refused, they took the ships by force, committing the first kinslaying. For this reason few or none of the Teleri joined the host of the Valar which set out to capture Morgoth for good. It is recounted that the Teleri eventually forgave the Noldor for the Kinslaying, and the two kindreds were at peace again.

==Sundering of Teleri==
* '''[[Falmari]]'''. Led by Olwe, they were the only Calaquendi of the Teleri clan. They lived in Tol Eressea and in along the east shores of Valinor

*'''[[Nandor]]''' Teleri who abandoned the Great Journey near river Anduin.

*'''[[Sindar]]''' All Teleri who remained in Beleriad. The Sindar of [[Beleriand]] called themselves simply ''[[Sindar|Edhil]]'', which means ''Elves'', and is related to the Quenya word ''Eldar'' of the same meaning.
*'''[[Laiquendi]]''' The Elves of [[Ossiriand]].

==Language==
The Teleri spoke the [[Common Telerin]] language during the Journey, from which [[Sindarin]] and [[Nandorin]] were derived, as well as the [[Telerin]] of Valinor, considered a dialect of [[Quenya]].

==Etymology==
Teleri is the plural of Teler which means "last", root [[TEL]].

Equivalent names were ''[[Nelyar]], [[Lindar]]'' or ''[[Glinnel|Glinnil]]''

In ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' the word Teleri refers both to the Third Clan in general, and that branch that made it to Aman, taken from the Vanyar and Noldor point of view; particularly the Teleri of Aman were called [[Falmari]].

==Other versions of the legendarium==
In the early versions of Tolkien's mythology (see: ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]''), they were known as '''''Solosimpi''''' ("Pipers of the Shores"), while the name ''Teleri'' was given to the clan of Elves known in the published version of ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' as [[Vanyar]].
