The Hall of Fire continues to bring on the chats! This weekend our topic is sure to tickle all you hobbit fanatics.
Hobbits… Their History, Their Leadership, Their Way of Life
We’re going deep into Hobbit lore this weekend, as we fully explore what we know about these amazing people. From hairy toes to smoke rings, six meals a day and the giving of mathoms, there is much to relish in these people who are short in stature but so big in our hearts. Come join with us as we explore what I personally feel is Tolkien’s finest creation!
