Fellowship Of The Ring Quiz – Sting, Mithril and the One Ring

The Fellowship of the Ring, published in 1954, is the first volume of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Frodo Baggins inherits the One Ring from Bilbo and sets out to destroy it.

At the Council of Elrond in Rivendell, nine companions form the Fellowship. Frodo carries Sting, an elven blade that glows blue near orcs, and a mithril shirt that saves him in Moria. Narsil is reforged as Anduril for Aragorn, and earlier a Morgul blade wounds Frodo on Weathertop.

In Moria, Gandalf faces a Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dum. In Lothlorien, the travelers receive elven cloaks and lembas, and Galadriel gives Frodo a phial holding the light of a star. Peter Jackson's 2001 film won four Oscars.
