In the final days of the War of the Ring, the fate of all Middle-earth rests with the Hobbit Frodo Baggins. Now on the final leg of his long journey, Frodo and his ever-loyal companion Sam approach the ashen land of Mordor, home of the Dark Lord Sauron. With every footfall taken towards that fell place, the burden upon Frodo's soul grows in weight, for the Ring above all else seeks to return to the hand of its master. Weariness and fatigue, desperation and gloom, hang over the tiny Hobbit so far from home. Yet onward he proceeds for his failure in this task would bring about the ruin of the world.
