Characters

Frodo – son of Drogo, the Ring Bearer

Legolas – son of Thranduil.
Gimli – son of Gloin
Gloin – a dwarf from Erebor
Dain – King under the mountain

Other People We Get Brief Mention of But Don’t Really Matter:

Galdor – an elf from the Grey Havens
Erestor – an elf from Rivendell, advisor to Elrond.
Thranduil – the elf king in Mirkwood. I only mention him here because I believe this is the first time we hear his name.
Balin, Ori, Oin – dwarves from the Hobbit.
Gwaihir – lord of eagles
Shadowfax – HORSE LORD FROM THE DAWN OF TIME OR WHATEVER

No travel in this chapter! The party is at Rivendell.

Episode 47: Anyways, They Continue Walking

Posted by Caitlin on Feb 12, 2019 in Podcast, The Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring, Tolkien | 0 comments

This week Caitlin, Rachel, and Emmy prove, once again, that we are not qualified to do this podcast.

Characters

Frodo – a hobbit, has recently been stabbed.
Sam/Merry/Pippin – Frodo’s friend hobbits, have not been stabbed.
Strider – Human Ranger, also not stabbed
Glorfindel – an Elf from Rivendell, and also died fighting a Balrog in the Silmarillion.
Black Riders – All Nine!

This chapters has the group (still not a Fellowship) walking from Weathertop , crossing the Hoarwell River, through the Trollshaws (pit stop to see Bilbo’s trolls), and then across the Bruinen towards Rivendell.

Here’s a good map showing the journey so far.
