Using both the variations of the texts and movies I have compiled my favorite parts of both. I am a huge fan of Tolkiens work,his imagery and imagination are thrilling. I also love a good romance so I couldn't help but bring out the movie's interpretation. Hope you enjoy...I will be adding a few more I think so keep checkin in..

Astrologer from the Tower
Gandalf journeys to Minas Tirith in Gondor where he researches the old texts to find that Bilbo's ring might well be the One Ring of Power forged by Sauron in the fires of Mt. Doom in Mordor. Gandalf returns to The Shire and has Frodo test the ring to find that it is indeed the One Ring.

The Shire is the home of a small race of people called Hobbits. They live a simple life and care little for the events and news of the outside world. Hobbits enjoy a quiet rural lifestyle of farming, gardening and raising farm animals. They are largely ignored by the rest of the peoples of Middle Earth, although Dwarves pass through bringing bits of news on their way to the Eastern Mountains and Elves pass through on their way to the Grey Havens. They have lived in relative isolation, but now their peace has been disturbed.
