Confirmed Ringbearers, broadly defined.

1. Durin III (Dwarven ring)
2. Cirdan (Narya)
3. Tom Bombadil (The One Ring)
4. Khamul the Easterling (One of the Nine)
5. Thror (Dwarven Ring)
6. Gil-Galad (Narya and Vilya)
7. Gandalf (Narya, and briefly the One)
8. Celebrimbor (made, and presumably bore, all three Elven rings)
9. The Witch-King of Angmar (one of the 9)
10. Thrain II (Dwarven Ring)
11. Deagol (the One, extremely briefly)
12. Bilbo (The One, but also *very good at quoits!*)
13. Sauron (The One)


Hui, who are your 10 One Ring Ringbearers? I got Sauron, Isildur, Deagol, Gollum, Bilbo, Frodo, Bombadil, and Sam in chronological order. Gandalf never actually touches the Ring I believe, though he does hold it with the fire tongs. But that's still 9. It's bothering me not knowing who is your 10th.

[Edit: I suppose you can count Gollum and Smeagol as separate people, and I believe in the movies Boromir holds it for a bit on Caradhras. So maybe you can stretch it to 11?]



Next topic: Transportation, broadly defined.

1. Fell Beast
