Gandalf: Hmm, I think the Shire-folk need to be reintroduced to the outside world⌠Gradually, though, this isnât the sort of thing you can do all at once. Iâll just bring one hobbit on an adventure again, to start with, just to plant a seedâŚ
Bilbo Baggins, having gone on one (1) adventure: *acquires a mithril-coat, Gondolin-blade, and the One Ring; becomes an Elf-friend, close to the Elvenking and Elrond Halfelven; orders party favors from Dale and Erebor decades later; learns Quenya; goes to live at Rivendell; compiles a comprehensive history of the First Age in Westron from translated Elvish epics and primary-source accounts; becomes personal friends with the Heir of Isildur; eventually sails to Valinor*
