PROLOGUE
Hobbits. What relevance do hobbits have to the future of middle earth?
Strangely enough quite a lot. It was in such unlikely coincidences as hobbits fishing in a river that the evil One Ring was rediscovered.
A simple hobbit stabbed the witch-king and he was instantly and completely vanquished. Another hobbit lost his balance and fell into the hot magma inside mount doom, and thus destroyed that same ring of power that he himself had discovered earlier.
All these decisive events in the history of Middle-Earth have been leaps in the dark.
Would Saruman have been seduced by the powers of darkness if he hadn't been studying that subject a little too closely for ages?
Would Gandalf have succeeded in overthrowing the evil lord sauron if he hadn't been a meddlesome, cunning old wizard?
Would Denethor have gone mad if he hadn't taken to using his palantir a little too often?
Would Sauron have been a menacing dark lord, if he hadn't, by pure chance, spent hundreds of years hatching dark plans and raising evil armies?
Of course not. What I said earlier about accidental events must have been wrong.
Nevertheless, wizards believe that these hobbits, these comic, hairy footed little bastards, may unwittingly help man to save the uncharted future of Middle-Earth.
