They followed Frodo's trail across the Shire and nearly intercepted him.įrodo and his companions escape the Black Riders by travelling through the Old Forest, but they get misled by the magic of Old Man Willow until they are rescued by Tom Bombadil who gives them shelter and guides them on their way. They escaped just in time, for Sauron's most powerful servants, the Nine Nazgûl, had entered the Shire as Black Riders, looking for Bilbo and the Ring. He left the Shire with three companions: his gardener Samwise Gamgee and his cousins Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took.
Realizing that he was a danger to the Shire as long as he remained there with the Ring, Frodo decided to leave his home and take the Ring to Rivendell, home of Elrond, a mighty Elf lord. Frodo kept the Ring hidden for 17 years, until Gandalf returned to tell him that it was the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, who desired to use it to conquer Middle-earth. Gandalf, at this time, was not certain about the origin of the Ring, so he warned Frodo to avoid using it and to keep it secret. Frodo inherited Bag End and Bilbo's ring that was introduced in The Hobbit. The Fellowship of the Ring opens as Frodo came of age (at 38 years old) and Bilbo left the Shire for good on his 39th birthday.

The chapter "A Long-expected Party" relates that Frodo's parents Drogo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck had been killed in a boating accident when Frodo was 12 Frodo subsequently spent the next 9 years living with his maternal family, the Brandybucks in Brandy Hall. He is also mentioned in Tolkien's posthumously published works, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.Įnemies: Baby Gollum (Arch Enemy currently)įrodo is introduced in The Fellowship of the Ring as the adoptive heir of Bilbo Baggins.
