Posty of Lord of The Ring

The Lord of the Rings in an epic high fantasy novel written by philologist J.R.R. Tokien.

The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's earlier, less complex children's fantasy novel The Hobbit (1937), but eventually developed into a much larger work. It was written in stages between 1937 and 1949, much of it during World War II. Although generally known to readers as a trilogy, Tolkien initially intended it as one volume of a two volume set along with The Silmarillion; however, the publisher decided to omit the second volume and instead released The Lord of the Rings in 1954-55 as three books rather than one, for economic reasons.

It has since been reprinted countless times and translated into many languages, becoming one of the most popular and influential works in 20th-century literature.

Legolas, he is an Elf from the Woodland Realm and one of the nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring. In this movie, I like him the most, what a charming man :)
Aragorn, heir of Isildur, rightful king of Arnor and Gondor.
Aragon, he is also know as Strider. Aragorn, son of Arathor was called the Dúnadan
Galadriel, She was a royal Elf of both the Noldor and the Teleri, was referred to variously as The Lady of Lórien, The Lady of the Galadhrim, Lady of Light or The Lady of the Wood. She had a daughter Celebrían, making her Elrond's mother-in-law and Arwe's grandmother
Frodo Baggins, a well-to-do Hobbit of the Shire who obtains the One Ring.

Throughout the War of the Ring, Elrond begs her to accompany her kin to the Undying Lands because he does not wish to see another of his family die, but after she initially embarks for the Grey Havens to sail away, she returns to Rivendell and thereafter refuses to leave Middle-earth because of the love she bears for Aragorn
