Greetings! Tomorrow’s Hall of Fire<\/a> discussion is about those brave little hobbitses, constantly getting themselves into adventures they do not seek… or do they?<\/p>\n

How did Gandalf nudge the ball and hold the reins? How was The Shire perceived by the rest of Middle-Earth? What formed the bridge between their isolated world and the outside?<\/p>\n

Join us pesky big people on Saturday March 2 at 5pm EST (New York time) in the Hall of Fire chat to go over the ins and outs of this great topic! Cheers, and see you there!<\/p>\n
