Fellowship Miniature Sheets Stamps

Walking in the garden of Isengard, the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Sir Ian McKellen) tells Saruman the White (Christopher Lee), that the long lost Ruling Ring of the Dark Lord has been found, unaware that Saruman also means to obtain it. Abroad, the dark forces of Sauron in the sinister black-cloaked shape of the Ringwraiths, search for it.


The Lady of the Golden Wood, Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), founded and became Queen of Galadrim during the War of the Ring. Although offered the One Ring by Frodo, the Elf Queen refused revealing to him that it’s power could corrupt even her.


Young Hobbits Frodo Baggins (Elijah Woods) - The Ringbearer, accompanied by his good friends Samwise ‘Sam’ Gamgee (Sean Astin) and Pippin ‘Peregrin’ Took (Billy Boyd) enjoy an ale in the Inn of the Prancing Pony, while nervously awaiting the arrival of Gandalf. Frodo attracts unwanted attention with his sudden 'disappearance' in front of the assembled villagers.


After being near mortally wounded by a Morgul knife while escaping the pursuing Ringwraiths, Frodo awakens at Rivendell, unaware of having been on the brink of death. Now safe under the protection of the Elves, Gandalf informs him that the Council of Elrond and several old friends including his uncle Bilbo (Ian Holm) await.


The mysterious stranger Strider (Viggo Mortensen) watches Frodo and company from the shadows in the Inn of the Prancing Pony, Bree. One of the secretive band of Rangers who roam the wild lands, he is later revealed to be Aragorn, son of Arathorn, Chieftain of Arnor, and rightful Heir of Gondor.


Boromir (Sean Bean) of Gondor, son of Denethor II, blows the ancient Horn of his people to warn of a savage Uruk-Hai raiding party led by the huge Orc, Lurtz. Boromir’s disregard for The Ring’s corrupting power was to be his downfall. He valiantly gave his life defending Pippin and Merry, shortly after Frodo left The Fellowship at Amon Hen to strike out for Mordor on his own.
