The Fellowship's Departure from Rivendell
The Fellowship of the Ring, consisting of nine members, departs from Rivendell on their quest to destroy the One Ring. They travel south, attempting to cross the Misty Mountains, but are forced to turn back due to snow and the hostile mountain Caradhras. They then decide to take the dangerous path through the Mines of Moria.
