The '''Fellowship of the Ring''', also known as the '''Company of the Ring''', was formed from nine members of the [[Free peoples]]. Its purpose was to take [[the One Ring]] to [[Mordor]], the only place where it could be destroyed.

==Members==
* [[Gandalf]] — One of the [[Wizards]] sent to [[Middle-earth]] by the [[Valar]]. He was the leader of the Fellowship.
* [[Aragorn]], son of [[Arathorn II|Arathorn]] — The [[Chieftains of the Dúnedain|Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] and the last heir to the throne of [[Gondor]] and [[Arnor]].

* [[Legolas]], son of [[Thranduil]] of [[Mirkwood]] — Emissary of the [[Elves of Mirkwood]].
* [[Gimli]], son of [[Glóin son of Gróin|Gloin]] — A [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] of the [[Lonely Mountain]].
* [[Frodo Baggins]] — A [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] from [[the Shire]], he was chosen to carry [[the One Ring]].
* [[Samwise Gamgee]] — A Hobbit, he was Frodo's gardener, servant and close friend.
* [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck]] — A Hobbit and cousin of Frodo, he and Pippin were best friends.
* [[Peregrin Took|Peregrin "Pippin" Took]] — A Hobbit and also a cousin of Frodo, he was the youngest of the Fellowship.

==History==
The Fellowship of the Ring was formed in [[Rivendell]] with the purpose to destroy [[the One Ring]] in any possible way. It was decided that nine walkers should contrast the [[Nazgûl|nine riders]] of [[Sauron]].

The Fellowship had no stable plan. One option was to go directly to [[Mount Doom]], the other was to ask help from Boromir's father, [[Denethor II]]. Whatever the aim, the [[Ring-bearer]] should be Frodo and Gandalf was the leader.

The way of how to reach the East was a problem. After moving south from Rivendell, they encountered [[crebain]] on their arrival in [[Hollin]]. Fearing that they were used as spies by Saruman, the Fellowship spent the entire day in hiding, without a campfire.

When they had to pass the [[Misty Mountains]]; Boromir proposed the [[Gap of Rohan]] (the way through which he arrived to Rivendell), Gandalf insisted to pass through [[Khazad-dûm|Moria]] but [[Aragorn]] though the [[Redhorn Pass]] would be safer. However after attempting in vain to pass the blizzard, they followed Gandalf's opinion.

After fighting with [[wolves]] and the [[Watcher in the Water]], they managed to open the [[Doors of Durin]] and enter Moria. There they found the Orcs who overran [[Balin's Colony]] years ago. They also saw [[Durin's Bane]], who devastated Moria in the first place. Gandalf to buy them time, destroyed the [[Bridge of Khazad-dûm]] and both [[Maiar]] fell together into the abyss, while the Company escaped back to the light.

Aragorn was appointed the head of the Company, and their next stop was to meet with [[Galadriel]] and [[Celeborn]], the elf-lords of [[Lothlórien]]. They stayed there for several days, resting and counseling for their plan and route. On their leave, the elves gave them several useful [[gifts of Galadriel|gifts]] and gave them boats to sail the [[Anduin]].

Meanwhile, [[Saruman]] who served Sauron, sent a band of [[Uruk-hai]] to capture the [[Halflings|halfling]] who bore the Ring and bring him to [[Isengard]].

Frodo began to realize not only that [[Gollum|someone]] was following them, but also that the Ring was having a malevolent effect on some members of the party, especially Boromir. It was he who tried to take the ring from him, after the passage through the [[Argonath]]. In the process, Frodo put on the ring to escape him, but he was followed by Sam. The rest of the Company was attacked by orcs while trying to find the [[Ring-bearer]]. Seeing no other halfling, the Orcs succeeded in capturing Merry and Pippin, killing Boromir who tried to protect them.

And so, the Fellowship was broken, but not yet disbanded. Sam followed Frodo down the [[Emyn Muil]] having decided to go to Mordor himself. Aragorn with Gimli and Legolas (the "[[Three Hunters]]") decided to follow the Orcs into [[Rohan]] and rescue Pippin and Merry. Unknown to them all, Gandalf had resurrected and visited Lothlórien after them.

Though usually called '''Fellowship of the Ring''' in adaptations and by fans, the actual term is not used in full until the chapter ''[[Many Partings]]'', when [[Aragorn|Elessar]] disbands it. In the story itself, they are usually referred to as the '''Fellowship''', the '''Company of the Ring''' (more so than ''Fellowship''), and the '''Nine Walkers''' (in opposition of the [[Nazgûl|Nine Riders]] who pursued them).

Some viewers claimed that Hadhafang was a Japanese-type sword. This is not true. Hadhafang was inspired by western cavalry sabers and the Assyrian sickle-sword. Hadhafang is made for use on horseback, as evidenced by the fact that Arwen was to carry a borrowed Rohiric sword during the actual Battle of Helms Deep, but Hadhafang during the charge and the Warg battle. However, the decision to not include Arwen in Helms Deep was made and we never got to see this sword in battle. Some people have also commented on the bad balance of the prop, not realizing that is meant for work from horseback.
