Fallohides

The Fallohides were one of the three breeds of Hobbits, along with the Stoors and Harfoots.
==Characteristics==
The Fallohides were taller and slimmer in build, able to grow to four feet in height. They had a fair appearance, with pale skin and yellow hair, and none of them ever grew a beard. They were lovers of trees and forests, living as hunters instead of farmers or fishers. They were more naturally bold, adventurous and inquisitive, and more open to outside influence from other races. Whenever the different Halfling strains migrated together, the intrepid natures of the Fallohides often made them leaders among all of hobbit-kind. Many were friends with the Elves, and because of this they were well learned in language, speech, and song. The Fallohides were the first hobbits to use writing and the Westron tongue, which they learned from the Men of Arnor. They were also the only hobbit race who preserved some of their own history. It was a tradition for families of Fallohide lineage to give themselves noble-sounding names.The Lord of the Rings, Prologue, I. "Concerning Hobbits" 
==History==
The Fallohides were the least common of hobbits, and in their earliest known history they lived in the forested region where later would be the Great Shelf near the High Pass to the north, in the Vales of Anduin. To their south lived the far more numerous Harfoots, and far south in wetland regions lived the Stoors.
After the Harfoots had migrated westward in the years following TA 1050, the Fallohides followed them around TA 1150. Unlike the Harfoots they crossed the Misty Mountains using the High Pass, ending up north of Rivendell. They followed the river Hoarwell down until they reached the Angle of Eriador, a triangular forested land between the Hoarwell and the river Loudwater. They stayed in the Angle for multiple centuries, becoming a woodland people, before fleeing further west due to the growing power of Angmar. From there, they later met up with the Harfoots in the South Downs, mingling with them while becoming chieftains of their villages. It was probably under Fallohide rule that the Harfoots migrated northwest and reached Bree. In TA 1601, two Fallohide brothers from Bree-land, Marcho and Blanco, by permission of Argeleb II, the King in Fornost, crossed the Brandywine River and colonized the Shire.
After this, the Fallohides mixed increasingly with Harfoots, and then with Stoors, until the three Hobbit breeds became one. The influential Took clan had distinct Fallohide traces both in appearance and character, as did the Oldbuck and later Brandybuck clans. Both Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins were part Fallohide, due to their Took and Brandybuck mothers respectively. Other famous Fallohides included Brandobas "Bullroarer" Took, who slew an Orc leader, and Peregrin Took.
