Hobbits

Also called halflings. Hobbits are rarely seen by humans in Bandagora, since they are reluctant to leave their home territory. Four hobbit realms (shires) are known, the Hobyt Grove, the Pipe Grove and Rose Thicket, all within the Great Forest and Trankilia west of Dagdor. The three shires in the Great Forest are protected by elves. Some sages claim that a fifth shire exists in Shendar. this shire is also guarded by elves and goes by the name Finhini.
