Hobbits are a small and merry folk, possessing a love for timehonoured traditions and respectable ways, and a strong dislike for anything out of the ordinary. If Hobbits had their way, the days would go by in an unchanging world, as they have since anyone can remember. At least, in their land, the Shire.

But since the return of Mr Bilbo Baggins from his adventure with a group of Dwarves and a travelling Wizard, something has changed. Stories about remote lands, dark woods, Giants, Elves, and forgotten halls beneath the earth have started to circulate among Hobbits of a more adventurous sort. And with every year, another one or two discreetly disappear to go and have adventures.
