It has been more than a thousand years since the so-called race blessed by Yavanna, the Hobbits, has disappeared. None knew they disappeared, and many were saddened by this disappearance. The elves loved hobbits, who were their distant cousins. Men regretted, because they knew that it was their duty to defend them, though, the Kingdom of Arnor had failed in its task, and the little ones were gone. However, it was the Istaris who most regretted their loss because, as Guardians of Middle-earth, it was their duty to watch over every being in the world. Among these magicians, it was Gandalf and Radagast who regretted the most, one being a great friend of the Hobbits, and the other being their appointed guardian. Gandalf often discussed it with the brown wizard, remembering those happy and friendly beings, who loved family, food, alcoholic beverages, pipe weed and peace. Radagast, he never ceased to blame himself for the disappearance of these beings, because as a disciple of Yavanna, it was his duty to watch over her children. He often wondered what would have happened if he followed the Hobbits when they left the banks of the Anduin.
In another universe, where magic was omnipresent and the races more diverse, a race of little beings were preparing to return. The Hobbits were not what they were once, and often remembered the reasons for their changes.
They had a fertile land called the Shire, and they were the subjects of the Kingdom of Arnor, but they were not safe. They knew that brigands, orcs and goblins wanted to seize their fertile lands and enslave them. The fact that an unspeakable evil was growing in northern Arnor did not reassure them because they knew that their king could not save them. It was then that they began to pray, to hope for help, and help came then. They could never have expected such help, especially not in this form, and yet that is what happened.
In the year 1800 of the Third Age, a huge translucent portal appeared in the middle of the Shire, shocking several Hobbits. Through this gate, one could see a splendid green land, golden-leafed trees and huge white and gold buildings, shining with a thousand lights. The Hobbits were mesmerized by this vision, and in a short time than it takes to say, all the hobbits of the Shire came together near the portal to try to understand what was happening.
It was then that they saw slender beings approach the gate and above all, get out! These beings were vaguely like elves, but they were very different. First, they were smaller, averaging 1m70 instead of the usual 1m80 / 1m85 elves they knew. Finally, the elves in front of them had various hairstyles and varied, having long hair but also short, something never seen among the elves of Grey Havens or Rivendell. The hair was of various colors, whether golden, jet black, or blood red. But others had blue or green hair.
However, it was not these details that shocked the hobbits. It was first the eyes, which were completely dark blue, for all elves without exception. The pupil of the iris could not differentiate because everything was blue, and even the usual white eyes was just plain blue. Not to mention that their eyes were glowing, as if imbued with a certain magic. Finally, they had very long eyebrows and very long pointed ears.
These chimerical beings were dressed for the most part in silk dresses of various colors, and some had a staff in their hands. Except one, who was wearing a long, dark blue cape, wearing a crown on his head and a huge golden staff with wings flaring upward.
It was this elf who approached the hobbits. He was surrounded by two guards in plate armor, with large shields and double blades in their hand. He presented himself as Anastarian Sunstrider, King of Quel'Thalas, and asked why he felt the cry of anguish of these beings facing him across the universe, through the barriers of reality. It was obvious to the elf that the place where he was was in no way related to Azeroth, let alone to the universe shaped by the Titans. He did not understand what danger could befall a people whose world could never be invaded by the Legion. Explanations took place between elves and hobbits, and the elves agreed to discover the hobbits' culture.
Soon, the elves realized how close the hobbits' peaceful life was to theirs. Even their interests were quite close. They loved food and knew how to enjoy the most delicate foods. They liked to maintain nature and the beauty surrounding them, and of course, they liked reading, knowing in general, and above all, staying away from other races. The only difference being that elves were interested in magic, and that hobbits lived in smials. Soon they became friends, and some elves and hobbits became enamored. This led to a proposal from Anastarian, wishing to bring all hobbits to Quel'Thalas, where they could discover magic, and live in peace. The Hobbits held a council, and it was the Took clan who accepted their proposal. Thus took place the great exodus of the Hobbits through a portal and dimensions, disappearing from the surface of the world of Eä to join Azeroth
The Hobbits easily integrated with the elves, and they lived for more than a thousand years in peace with their families. Indeed, the hobbits all went through a ritual to join the race of Quel'dorei and their bodies changed. First, they grew from about 1m20 to 1m50 (the size of a big dwarf).Then, their hair became longer and for some, stiffer. Evidently, their ears and eyebrows lengthened, and their eyes became similar to those of their so-called cousins. Their feet remained as large, but they were finer and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, all hobbits were able to grow a light beard, which they styled like elves, preferably keeping goats or whiskers.
It was only the physical changes, but there were many more changes. The Hobbits earned the same life span as their cousins, some of which could reach many thousands of years, by the way, all the hobbits who first encountered the elves were still alive in the year 2900 TA. Hobbits developed a knack for magic, becoming particularly gifted in the areas of invocation, illusion, evocation, and abjuration. Some even became arcane masters.
Years passed quietly in Azeroth, and hobbits were widely welcomed by other peoples, especially dwarves and gnomes, which strengthened the bonds between elves, dwarves and gnomes. In fact, these races developed slowly but surely great enmity to humans, and shut themselves in their own kingdoms, only communicating among themselves, carefully avoiding humans.
In 2740 T.A, the year 411 of the King's Calendar (Azeroth), two beings met and fell in love. On one side was Prince Kael'Thas Sunstrider, and on the other, there was Belladonna Took, daughter of Gerontius Took, the hobbits lord. Indeed, after their establishment in Azeroth, the hobbits swore allegiance to the elves, and the elves named the Tooks as the leader of the hobbits, giving them a prominent place on the council of Quel'Thalas.
In any case, from the union of these two beings, a child was born who definitely sealed the fusion of the two races. Bilbo Sunstrider, descendant of the leaders of the two peoples, prince of Quel'Thalas and Hobbits. This young half elf then grew up in an idyllic setting, where he learned his duties as a prince. Like hobbits, he reached maturity at age 30, and the Kingdom celebrated for several weeks. Many offered their favors to the prince, whether male or female. Moreover, the dwarves and gnomes also tried to woo him, because even for an elf or even a hobbit, Bilbo was someone very attractive.
He was tall of 1m50, with a little belly, which made his pride of hobbit. He was quite thick, his hobbit constitution coming out easily, yet his muscles were thin and his body sculpted. His hair was long and golden, with curly ends. Obviously, his eyes were blue luminescent, and he had a light golden beard he shaved regularly to keep an aesthetic side. Bilbo had the joy of being a very powerful mage, just like his father and grandfather. He was above all a very powerful arcanist, master in the art of ice magic and pyromancy. Besides, he could even summon a phoenix he learned with his father.
Bilbo being a magician of genius, he learned all he knew at the Academy of Quel'Thalas, and even ended up getting like his father, the prestigious title of Archmage, for his mastery of many magical domains, and also for his ancestry. He eventually even joined the Kirin'Tor Sovereign Council to replace his father, who decided to take a closer look at the politics of Quel'Thalas, Anastarian having made the wish to abdicate to enjoy life.
The political life of Dalaran and Kirin'Tor in general was rather chaotic. The Council of Six dominated the entire Kirin'Tor, and was originally composed of three humans and three elves. After his arrival, Bilbo used his charms and what he had learned about politics in Quel'Thalas to reverse the situation, and then managed to change a member of the inner council, replacing him with his mentor, Rommath. This change of circumstances made it possible to elect a new director, and a competition took place between Antonidas who was a very old human magician, surviving thanks to magic, and Bilbo. Bilbo won the election because the elves were all loyal to the crown, and he became the new director of Kirin'Tor. He did not hesitate to force the Kirin'Tor to withdraw from Lordaeron's political life to be interested only in Elven and Dwarven realms. The population thus increased significantly in elves and especially in gnomes and dwarves.
It was also in Dalaran that Bilbo knew his first love, and above all, that his heart was broken for the first time. Bilbo, who had always had a sort of contempt for humans, probably linked to his Elvish ancestry and men's betrayal of hobbits, was astonished to be enamored of none other than a young human prince named Arthas Menethil. For more than five years he secretly entertained his love for the young man, but he easily noticed that the prince was more interested in the young apprentice of Antonidas, Jaina Portvaillant. One day, Bilbo then decided to confess, and decided to woo Arthas in the purest style hobbit. He prepared a beautiful bouquet composed of pink camellias (Longing for you) and red (You are the flame in my heart) and Red Roses without thorns (Love at first sight) and covered rosebuds foam (Confession of love). Finally, it had embellished the bouquet of some tulips variegated (Beautiful eyes), yellow (There's Sunshine in Your Smile) and red (Believe Me; Declaration of Love). When he presented his bouquet to the prince, he explained the meaning of each flower, but was rejected. Bilbo was devastated and eventually retired to his apartments.
The next day was the day everything changed and his hatred of human s multiplied by ten. Bilbo enjoyed walking in the gardens of Dalaran, and loved to go near one of the fountains. What was his surprise when he surprised Arthas and Jaina together. He understood that the human preferred a person of the opposite sex, and he decided to leave them alone. However, he stopped abruptly on hearing the prince make his confession, and especially, seeing him hold out a bouquet to the young woman. HIS BOUQUET ! Bilbo felt betrayed at seeing Arthas give the bouquet he had composed to this woman, and especially when he heard the prince describe the meaning of each flower. It was like a stab in the heart, and Bilbo saw red. In an outburst of anger, he blew the fountain, completely dipping the two lovebirds, and then fled. For several days he refused to leave his apartments at the top of Dalaran's main tower, and his mother came in Dalaran. He cried for hours in the arms of his loving mother, revealing everything to her. The latter hastened to reveal everything to her husband, and in a short time the relations between Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron were destroyed.
Everything changed in the year 20 after the opening of the Dark Portal. The plague advanced, and the elves knew they would have a hard time surviving an almost infinite army of undead. As Arthas, who became the Lich King's Champion, was slowly but surely heading towards the gates of Quel'Thalas, the Hobbits proposed to return to Middle-earth. The news was initially greeted with skepticism, as many did not want to leave their idyllic land, but they ended up being convinced. Thus, all the elves of Quel'Thalas, and even those who lived in Kirin'Tor, left for Silvermoon to begin their great exodus. Thousands of elves and Hobbits had joined, bringing with them all their supplies, all their books etc ... But the most important was the huge jars carried by the magisters that contained the water of the Sunwell. Unfortunately, a traitor among the elves, Darkhan Drak'thir told the plague that accelerated his advance. He was executed, but it was too late. Thus a guard of foresters led by Sylvanas were ordered to slow the progression of the undead. During this time, the magisters and the Royal family combined their forces to create a huge portal.
The Hobbits were finally going home, and this time no one would try to dislodge them.
