Race of
Hobbits
There are few recorded deeds of Hobbits
until late in the Third Age of Middle-earth, which is
just the way Hobbits would prefer it. They are simple,
quiet folks, preferring to dwell in hillside holes in
and around the area known as The Shire in western Eriador.
Called "Halflings" by some due to their size
relative to Men, these small folk enjoy the peaceful
endeavours of farming, eating, and gift giving, rather
than concerning themselves with the dangerous affairs
of the rest of Middle-earth (save the legends of Hobbit
bowmen in the wars of Fornost). In these dark days,
however, it is the unassuming Hobbits, with their often
surprising adeptness of both word and action, that will
have the greatest impact in the war between the Free
Peoples and the lengthening Shadow from the North.
From the most modest of beginnings,
Hobbits are capable of the grandest of deeds. Their
nimbleness and quick-thinking are well documented of
course, but Hobbits are not to be underestimated. Hobbits,
although small in size relative to the other races,
are sturdy of body, determined in their actions, and
good with bow or knife (when they have to be). Their
small frame belies a toughness and spirit of a capable
adventurer in the lands of Middle-earth.
