"The Inheritance", by Raoul Vitale Coming of age & flight from the ShireĪfter the party finished, Frodo returned home and discovered that he was now the master of Bag End and the recipient of Bilbo's magic Ring. Bilbo left it on the fireplace mantel with a note for Frodo, who would now become the next Ring-bearer. The hobbits at the party were left confused and disgruntled, and Bilbo was never again seen in the Shire.įrodo with Bilbo during his 111th birthdayīefore departing for his journey to Rivendell, Bilbo was persuaded by Gandalf to voluntarily surrender the One Ring. The two shared the same birthday, September 22 by Shire Reckoning (around September 12–14 of our calendar), and a party of special magnificence was held when Frodo came of age of thirty-three and Bilbo achieved the notable age of 111.īilbo gave a memorable birthday speech before playing a joke on his fellow hobbits by using the One Ring to disappear, at which Gandalf quickly reacted and used his staff to create a blinding flash where Bilbo had been standing. They also had a weekly tradition of taking long walking trips together from Hobbiton to Michel Delving and Buckland all throughout the Shire. The two grew very close in the following years Frodo, treated by his adopted guardian as he were his own son, learned much of the Elvish language during his time with Bilbo, as well as much of the lore of Middle-earth. Bilbo took Frodo to live with him in his home at Bag End and made him his heir. An only child, Frodo stayed in Brandy Hall until his 99-year-old "uncle" Bilbo, his father's second cousin, adopted him in TA 2989. In TA 2980, when Frodo was only 12 years old, his parents drowned in a boating accident on the Brandywine River. They would often steal mushrooms from Farmer Maggot's farm Bamfurlong. Frodo was known as something of a rascal, befriending Meriadoc (Merry) Brandybuck and Peregrin (Pippin) Took and causing trouble wherever they went.
