What is the name of the fellowship formed to carry the One Ring in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings?

The fellowship formed to carry the One Ring in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is The Fellowship of the Ring.

The group is established at Rivendell during the Council of Elrond. Its purpose is to transport the Ring to Mordor, where it can be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. The company consists of nine members: Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Merry Brandybuck, Pippin Took, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf.

The nine companions are deliberately set against the nine Ringwraiths, or Nazgûl. The fellowship travels south from Rivendell but breaks apart after the death of Boromir and the capture of Merry and Pippin. Frodo and Sam continue toward Mordor, while the other surviving members pursue different paths.

The title also names the first volume of Tolkien’s novel, published in 1954. The book’s full title is The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
