| | THE TOLKIEN FORUM - Why three races of hobbits? |
 | | The Fallohides were fairer of skin and also of hair, and they were taller and slimmer than the others; they were lovers of trees and of woodlands. | | | I have not (yet) managed to find out when this split into three strains occured, but it is reasonable to assume that it happened when the Hobbits were living in Rhovanion (not necessarily when they were living in the vales of Anduin). | | | The Harfoots had much to do with Dwarves in ancient times, and long lived in the foothills of the mountains. |

| | [Lesson One]Concerning Hobbits |
| | The exact origin of hobbits is unknown even by the hobbits themselves (who often did not keep records of their own history as they were primarily concerned only with genealogy) but by their first appearance in the history of Men they were already divided into three separate strains: Harfoot, Fallohide, and Stoor. | | | Harfoots tended to have darker skin (browner in colour) and were smaller (in both height and weight). | | | Hobbits are often also known as Halflings, but are also referred to as holbytlan, Shire-folk, Little People, and Periannath. |

Harfoot is all red in the face, his eyes full of anger. |

| | About the Third Age 1050 the Hobbits, who by this time had become divided into three distinct groups, the Fallohides, the Harfoots, and the Stoors, fled westward because of the evil in Mirkwood. | | | Although created in the First Age, Hobbits were unobtrusive and lived in the Vales of Anduin largely unnoticed by other races until well into the Third Age. | | | In 1600, the Shire was founded, and soon almost all Hobbits came to live there or in Bree, although in 2463 there was a colony of Stoors in the Gladden Fields, and at the time of the War of the Ring there were wandering Hobbits. |

| | Was Tolkien's epic inspired by Scotland? - [Sunday Herald] |
| | For decades academics and Tolkien experts have pondered over the inspiration for Middle Earth, home to hobbits, Harfoots and mystical mountains. | | | But as the second film in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, The Two Towers, is released across Europe and the US on December 18, residents of northwest ScotlandÊbelieveÊtheyÊhave found its origins: Sutherland, with its midges and unforgiving weather, was where Middle Earth all started. | | | IF you glimpse a hobbit quietly eating a cheese sandwich and practising his pipe-smoking while driving in northwest Scotland, forgive yourself for succumbing to this momentary illusion Ð the origins of JRR Tolkien's fantasy world could be right on your doorstep. |

| | History and Practice of Communications in The Shire |
| | The names of the six "missing" messangers are recalled and woven into tales, and Hobbits are forever asking travelers from far away if they know what became of them. | | | Once the Stoors and Harfoots realized the advantages of reading and writing, schools were established and they learned quickly; within a mere hundred years or so they became nearly as proficient as their Fallohide teachers. | | | Three distinct groups or breeds were recognized, at least among the Hobbits themselves (though it is doubtful that any others knew, or even cared about the differences); these were the Fallohides, the Stoors, and the Harfoots. |
