That's not easy. I had to look it up. I could never read the Silmarillion for long. It's very boring.
b) should be "Laurelindórenan", by the way.

exclusion waorked for me - never read the silmarillion - just th lord of the rings and the hobbit. point though - mirkwood the wood where sauron once resided is no place of lords and lindon just sounds really wrong. b) is the only logical conclusion.

In the hands of, elves, humans, dwarves, and sauron? What is the 'beginning' of LoTR?
The beginning of LoTR is the time period in the fictional land of Middle-Earth in which the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring is set.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungWell yes. The movie officially starts after bilbo has found the ring, but the story is told back as far as sauron forging it and having it cut off his hand.

The movie had a green cloud of ghosts swarming battle elephants.
But as far as I know:
The 9 were still on the hands of the Nazgul
The Seven were all in the possesion of Sauron
The three belonged to Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond.
I don't remember the elven names off the top of my head. Except for Gandalf's, which was called Narya. (The ring of fire?)

And don't be silly. The rings didn't do anything. They were just put in for there to be a reason to have the One.
