Frodo at Bag End, before the adventure
Welcome to my humble corner of the internet — I am Frodo Baggins of Bag End, a hobbit of the Shire, and I am delighted you have found your way here. Life in the Shire was perfectly simple and wonderfully uneventful, until a certain wizard arrived with a very powerful ring. Though the journey to Mordor was long, treacherous, and full of peril beyond imagining, I would not trade the friendships I forged along the way for anything in the world. I am a great lover of elvish poetry, second breakfasts, and the quiet company of old books. If you are passing through Bag End, the door is always open and the kettle is always on — do come in!
