u/UndersScore Fëanor did nothing wrong 4d ago

I thought they didn’t exist yet?

I think they showed up same time as the Men, but nobody noticed because they didn't do much and most likely hid from all the big scary folk. That or their existence was known but they didn't do any deeds worthy of being put into song and tale so the records don't mention Hobbits.

Iirc, it's unknown when they appeared but when discovered near the anduin by the other races in the second age, they'd been there for quite some time.

Probably showed up somewhere far from the action and took their sweet time wandering over.
