Creation

In the year 1950, as humans count time, the goddess Anna created the hobbits.

The first stages of the creation are shrouded in mystery. It is not known exactly when the first hobbit took a breath and it is not known where they took their first step. It is however a hotly debated subject among scholars, both hobbit and other.

What is known is that in May 1950 there were several hobbit settlements in existence. This is a significant event in that it is the only time an entire spieces has been given life by a god. The elves were quick to pick up on what was going on and were able to observe, at a very discreet and polite distance, what was happening.

The creation took place at a time when The Dark Ages were at its darkest. Nowhere was safe from the northland barbarians plaguing the world. Due to this, all early hobbit settlements are in remote areas far from major settlements and trade routes.

Different hobbit breeds

The creation process took a little over a year and new kinds of hobbits appeared all over the world throught this period. There are many different breeds of hobbits and they differ somewhat depending on when they were created.

Hobbit breeds created during the summer are the most common ones. They tend to have dark hair and depending on where they live may also be dark skinned. The hobbit breeds that were created during the winter are the least common ones. They are mostly found in the north and tend to have blonde hair and fair skin. The breeds that were created during spring and autumn are hard to tell apart by looks alone and but are identified by certain religious and cultural habbits.

As mentioned above, hobbit breeds are generally grouped into four major groups:

  • Autumn Hobbits

Hobetachts

The original homes of the hobbits, where they still live out their lives in the way they've always done.

Hobbit Religion

The hobbits don't just believe in their god, they know her. Their creation is not just a myth, it's a well documented historical fact. Hobbits are, by far, the most religious of the major races.

Hobbits and Adventure

Hobbits value a quiet peaceful life and while they do love stories of adventures had by others, it is considered bad form to actually have one.
