Elrond then created a fellowship which included Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas(Elf), Gimli(Dwarf), and Boromir(a Man from Gondor).The Fellowship(that’s what is the name of the group) gets prepared for the big journey in front of them and finally get out of Rivendell reaching Mountain Caradhras.
