Ring-bearers

Ring-bearers, or Cormacolindor,, Vol. III: , Book Six, Ch, IV: "The Field of Cormallen" were those individuals who held or wore a Ring of Power at any point in their lives.
The title most often referred to Frodo Baggins, as his carrying of the One Ring was known amongst the Fellowship of the Ring, and, at the height of the Ring's power, he had it in his custody for by far the longest period. Elrond, as well as various members of the Fellowship, all refer to Frodo by this title. Frodo, Bilbo, and Sam all received a great deal of honor from the Elves as Ring-bearers, including the privilege of sailing to the Undying Lands with them.
The term "Ring-bearer" could also be used for anyone who wore a Ring of Power. Galadriel in seems to refer to herself as a Ring-bearer. In this sense, the title would be granted to those who possessed the Seven Rings of the Dwarves, the Nine Rings of Men, and the Three Rings of the Elves. Eventually all Ring-bearers left Middle-earth, either by death or by departure from the Grey Havens across the Sea.
