Lord of the Rings Trilogy Trivia Quiz

Answer: Frodo

Frodo inherits the One Ring from Bilbo, and thus sets out to destroy it. Otho Sackville-Baggins was supposed to be Bilbo's heir, seeing that Bilbo had no kids of his own, and planned on inheriting Bag-End. Bilbo's adoption of Frodo spoiled Otho's plans.

Answer: Gandalf

Bilbo started the Red Book of Westmarch as a diary, and recorded into it the deeds in Erebor. Frodo continues it and records the War of the Ring, aided by Sam, Merry, and Pippin. Sam is given charge of the Red Book of Westmarch from Frodo when Frodo sails into the west. Eventually, Sam gives Elanor, his eldest daughter, the Red Book, and Sam decides to follow Frodo into the west.

The latest chronological mention of the Red Book in Tolkien's work is in the hands of Findegil, a Gondorian scribe in the Fourth Age.
