Origin of species (at least the hobbits)
As with all other new threads, the answers out there: somebody have already written about it. Problem is, I can't find this anywhere so here I go:
What's the origin of the hobbits? Everybody know that the elves and men were the children of Iluvatar and that he created them. The dwarfs were created by Aule when he didn't have the patience to wait for the Firstborn: the elves. Now there's only two speaking people left : the orcs and the hobbits (well, maybe the dragons but I'm not going to count them to the "peoples"). The orcs were creations of Morgoth. I'm not sure if he managed to create them "from scratch" or if he imprisoned elves, men and beasts and corrupted them into the foul creatures orcs are. I don't think there's a clear answer to that (read the excellent article by HerenIstarion here) But now to the question (sorry if I'm booring you): Who created the hobbits? When and were did they first awaken? What are their origin??? And also: were do dead hobbits go? To the halls of Mandos as the elves (and dwarfs, right?) or beyond the boundaries of the world as the men? Please help me out here
