Basic Storyline:

Weather in The Shire has grown devastatingly cold. It is the Third Age in the year 1159 SR (Shire Reckoning; Third Age 2759). The winter of 1158 SR (Third Age 2758) has never lifted and the Northlands have been covered in snow even through the summer. The Brandywine River has frozen over and hungry Wargs are threatening the borders of The Shire. There has been no harvest and provisions are running short.

A group of young and old Hobbits plan to go on a desperate journey to Rivendell for food and supplies. A few days before they planned on setting out Dwarves traveling through the Shire had told the Hobbits that the roads leading into Rivendell had been besieged by hungry Orc troops and Wargs.

The group of Hobbits decides to set off to Bree instead to stock up on food but on their journey to Bree they face many problems and are hunted by a pack of hungry wolves. The Hobbits are also weighed down by their wagons which carry their supplies and make the journey long and strenuous. Once they reach Bree they take the needed food and accessories. On their way back they spot a troop of Orcs but it’s too late to hide, the Orcs have already spotted them. The hungry Orcs attack the Hobbits - the Hobbits have no option but to fight back. They have a fierce battle but the Orcs are too strong and outnumber the Hobbits.

In the end many of the Hobbits die and are eaten by the hungry Orcs and Wargs and only some Hobbits make it out alive!
