@Dr_Duck_MD @OreganoJeauxns @Alldogsaredead Everyone knew the historical significance of the One Ring, but Gandalf needed to be sure Bilbo truly had it. His research was to compare the description of Bilbo's Ring to Isildur's records from when he claimed it. The inscription on the Ring was the confirmation he needed.

@OreganoJeauxns @Alldogsaredead I was always confused by this. The start presents the background as a forgotten legend and then Gandalf needs to go through ancient texts to learn about it. But then once the journey starts, everyone seems completely aware of Sauron and the history of the ring. 🤔

I love when Gandalf finds out the magic ring Bilbo has is the one ring and he's like oh fuck no way. It must be like finding out a dog you know has gotten possession of an ICBM.
