Warriors of Middle-earth: the Hobbits

Frodo has undertaken the quest to carry the Ring to Mordor and cast it into Mount Doom, thus ending its power forever. Though Frodo is hardly as bold or as feirce a warrior as many others in Middle-earth, he alone has  the strength of character needed to succeed. For the Ring has a will of its own. The Ring wants to be found!

Sam is Frodo's companion and loyal friend - of all the Fellowship only Sam is unable to abandon Frodo to his journey to Mordor to destroy the Ring.

Meriadoc Brandybuck, commonly called Merry, is a young hot-headed and meddlesome hobbit, like his good friend Peregrin Took.

Peregrin took, commonly called Pippin, is the great friend and companion of the equally young and wild Meriadoc Brandybuck. By a chance encounter, they find themselves propelled from their rustic lives in the Shire into danegr of the darkest and most terrible kind.

Much as the ringwraiths drive the early part of the story, so the Hobbits are the focus for Good.
