Ford of Bruinen

The Ford of Bruinen was a means of crossing the River Bruinen on the Great East Road, in Eriador near Rivendell.
==History==
At the beginning of the War of the Ring, Frodo Baggins, astride Glorfindel's horse Asfaloth, was pursued by the Nazgûl to the Ford of Bruinen. At the ford Frodo, poisoned by a deadly wound, made his stand, and defied the Witch-king of Angmar. This lured the Ringwraiths into the Bruinen, prompting Elrond to command a great flood from far away. Gandalf, who had arrived in Rivendell, caused the waters to take the form of rushing horses. This flood killed the steeds of the Ringwraiths, which led them to later make use of winged fellbeasts.The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book One, Ch. XII: "Flight to the Ford"The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Ch. I: "Many Meetings"
== In adaptations ==
In Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring, it is Arwen and not Glorfindel who finds the travelers. She carries Frodo on her horse and is chased by the Nine; at the Ford she summons the flood, invoking the waters from the Misty Mountains in the Quenya tongue.
