Lord of the rings mythical creatures3/16/2024 The Harfoots, Fallohides and remaining Stoors would journey further to the northwest and settle together in Bree-land, where the divisions between the Hobbit-kinds began to blur, and where they found a friendly coexistence with the native Middle Men.Ī young Bilbo Baggins, by Sara Maria Morello This group of refugees eventually gave birth to Sméagol, but their fate is ultimately unknown, as their dwellings were abandoned by the end of the Third Age, likely as the Misty Mountains had become infested by Orcs. In the following centuries some of the Stoors, dismayed by the power of Angmar and a change in the climate of Eriador, fled back east over the Misty Mountains. The Stoors were the last to migrate, and they crossed the mountains using the Redhorn Pass, traveling down the river Loudwater before settling in Swanfleet, a large marshy region near Dunland and Tharbad. They traveled down the river Hoarwell before settling in the Angle, a triangular wooded land formed by the Hoarwell and river Loudwater. The Fallohides were the second to leave the vales, and they took the High Pass over the mountains, ending up north of Rivendell. The Harfoots were the first to cross the Misty Mountains, and they migrated as far as the South Downs, a range of hills where the Harfoots long settled, establishing numerous dwellings there. The three Hobbit clans took different routes on their journey westward into Eriador, the Lone-lands. Reasons for this trek are unknown, but it possibly had to do with Sauron's growing power in nearby Greenwood, which was later named Mirkwood because of the shadow that fell on it. Two hobbits in the Green Dragon inn, by Ralph DamianiĪbout the year TA 1050, they undertook the arduous task of crossing the Misty Mountains. As a result, many old words and names in Hobbit-speech are derivatives of words in Rohanese. While situated in the valley of the Anduin River, the Hobbits lived close by the Éothéod, the ancestors of the Rohirrim, and this led to some contact between the two. At this time, there were three breeds, or tribes, of Hobbits, with different physical characteristics and temperaments: Harfoots, Stoors and Fallohides. According to The Lord of the Rings, they forgot any genealogical ties to their relatives the "Big People" ( Men). The earliest known group of hobbits lived in the Vales of Anduin, in the region of Wilderland between Mirkwood and the Misty Mountains. By the time they were discovered by the other peoples of Middle-earth, they had already been around for many generations. They are only known to have originated somewhere in the valley of the Anduin River. It is unknown when Hobbits first appeared in Arda.
