THIS DAY ON MIDDLE EARTH:  23 September 3018

On September 23rd, early in the evening, Frodo, Sam and Pippin slipped away from Bag End. (Fellowship of the Ring, Chapter 3, Three Is Company“).  The “official” story of their leaving is that Frodo is moving to Crick Hollow and Sam and Pippin are to accompany and help him.  The real story is, Frodo is the bearer of the One Ring.  He must take the Ring to Elrond in Rivendell while trying to stay hidden from the Black Riders of Mordor.
