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.

Get a girlfriend, losers!

==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 [[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, encountering crebain and wolves, 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 [[Moria]] but [[Aragorn]] though the [[Redhorn Pass]] would be safer. However after attempting in vain to pass the blizzard, they followed Gandalf's opinion.

In Moria however, 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 [[Lothlorien]]. 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 [[halfling]] who bore the Ring and bring him to [[Isengard]].

Frodo began to realize the Ring was having a malevolent effect on some members of the party, especially Boromir, 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]]. The Orcs succeeded in capturing Merry and Pippin; Boromir fell defending them.

And so, the Fellowship was broken, but not yet disbanded.

==Terminology==
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 II|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).
