LOTR Read-Along: The Fellowship of the Ring: A Journey in the Dark

After the disaster of the Caradhras Mountains, the Fellowship must choose another route that will keep them out of Saruman's sight. Eventually, their options are narrowed down to one less than desirable path. The Mines of Moria. A once powerful and glorious country built entirely underground within a mountain. However, Moria has become a desolate hell hole of only which Gandalf and Aragorn have been through and neither wish to go back. However, they have no other alternative and must brave the mines. First they have to get through the door.

So now that Frodo has volunteered to take the Ring the rest of the way to Mordor, guess what we get to do?

LOTR Read-Along: The Fellowship of the Ring: The Council of Elrond

So, the title is pretty self explanatory. An elite grouping of representatives of the primary races of Middle-Earth--men, elves, dwarves, Gandalf for the Istari and of course, Frodo--gather together to discuss the fate of the Ring. Throughout the chapter, the council goes through a 'pass the parcel' discussion of each races connection to the Ring in some form. 

Happy Thanksgiving
