I believe the answer is:

mordor

'here' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'sam and frodo together did finally get gold' is the wordplay.
'sam' becomes 'm' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
The final letters of 'frodo together did' are 'ord'.
'm'+'ord'+'or'='MORDOR'
