They were the only Hobbits who were allowed to sail to Valinor (to my knowledge)

Well, true, but this is something entirely independent of their race/species.

The only three known/named as owners of Sting?

Or the only three actually *referred to* as Ringbearers in reference to the One Ring, since Sauron, Isildur, Sméagol and Deagol were not? Bilbo was ONCE, by Frodo, at the Havens, where he said 'Yes, I am coming. The Ringbearers should go together.'

Correct - though wielders, rather than owners. Bill, Bert, and Tom were collective owners, after all, but it's hard to imagine them wielding it. And presumably some Gondolin elf (maybe even Turgon himself) once owned and used it... but that's not confirmed.

Over to you.

OK …

Bilbo
Frodo
Lobelia

Owners/dwellers of Bag-End?

Pervinca Took · 05-23-2019, 12:59 PM

Close, but not correct.

Bungo, Otho, Sam and Frodo Gardner would also belong to the list of owners.

And dwellers would include all the above, plus Belladonna, Rose, Lotho and all Sam's children.

I am going to change this slightly, back to the version I originally made:

Bilbo
Frodo
Sam
Lobelia

Urwen · 05-23-2019, 03:18 PM

Ordinary folks who were nonetheless able to stand up against evil?

(I will always remember how Lobelia beat up the ruffians with an umbrella)
