Unsure where to go, Gollum followed the pull of evil-which likely felt similar to the power of his Ring-and wound up on Sauron's doorstep in Mordor. After an unknown period, however, he left his cave in search of Bilbo. As an outcast, Sméagol was forced to find secluded caves to live with his One Ring-the Lord of the Rings' Misty Mountains were just the place.Īfter Bilbo stole his precious, Gollum sat and festered within his tunnels, cursing the Hobbit for stealing from him. His community grew to fear and despise him until finally, Sméagol's grandma expelled him from their home and demanded that he never return. He also began to steal from his neighbors-but the more he committed crimes, the sloppier he got. He would use the Ring's power to turn invisible and spy on the people of his community and use this knowledge to manipulate and blackmail. The Ring-bearer became jealous and cruel. However, the influence of the One Ring continued to grow, and Sméagol's behavior began to change.
When Sméagol returned to his home, he told his people that his cousin had run off and not come back, and at that point, there was no reason not to believe him. Gandalf told Frodo that the Stoors never found out what happened to Déagol. Though the Lord of the Rings movies made it seem as if Sméagol set out on his own immediately after murdering his cousin, this wasn't the case in the books.
