Hobbits & Halflings
Hobbits are counted among the Children of Ilúvatar, though their first awakening is unrecorded. Divided into Harfoots, Fallohides and Stoors, they settled the Shire in T.A. 1601 and were long forgotten by the great powers — until four of them carried the One Ring to Mount Doom. The name means “halfling”, and the world has never quite forgiven them for it.
