Pareth of Gondor and her companion Tule Sloughfoot waited patiently in the freezing cold outpost in Sûrî-Kylä for the other members of their hunting party. They would be travelling to Kuru-Leiri and it would be a cold long journey.
Pareth hated the cold and longed for the warmth of her home in southern Gondor. But she could not desert her companions now. There was so much to do and warriors of all races were desperately needed to stem the flow of evil creatures, all servants of Sauron.
Even in this frozen tundra, evil lingered. And the Lossoth peoples, who were not the most trusting sort, began to show their admiration of Pareth’s fellowship. The Lossoth gave Pareth some special ice wine that helps to dispel the cold which she gladly shared with her companions.
It wasn’t much, but that small gesture, gave Pareth hope. Even in this cold dreary place, people were generous if they trusted you, and that was all she needed to know to keep on going. Tule Sloughfoot’s cheerfulness helped too. The hobbit minstrel sang and played music whenever they weren’t fighting, and so Pareth couldn’t help but laugh at her antics. Tule charmed everyone she met. She was quite a likable hobbit but dangerous if crossed and Pareth respected her many abilities.
That night Tule, Pareth, and others in their group slew many evil creatures and their heroic deeds were talked about for many years to come.

Throughout the Shire, rumours were circulating among the hobbits that trouble had reached Breeland. Ballanor set out to Buckland to meet with Celandine Brandybuck to find out just what was going on. Celandine was quite frank with Ballanor and admitted in confidence that she was frightened by the strange happenings as of late.
Not only were the creatures of the wild acting strange, but bands of brigands had been seen terrorizing travellers along the East Road, and worse still, there was talk about Black Riders who questioned residents about the whereabouts of “Baggins”. Of course, they were looking for Frodo Baggins, whom Ballanor knew was travelling East on a most urgent mission.
Most of the hobbits in the Shire thought Frodo was even crazier than his uncle Bilbo, and somehow that bothered Ballanor. From what little she had been told of Frodo’s secret mission, he was a brave young hobbit worthy of respect for even choosing to leave the Shire rather than bring trouble to its borders.
And so for several weeks Ballanor stayed in and around Buckland, the Old Forest, and the Barrow Downs, helping out as much as she could.
It seemed that word had spread to the Breeland hobbits that she was capable of inflicting serious harm to the enemy and she was kept quite busy. Ballanor didn’t mind. She was, in fact, quite fond of the little folk, and the hobbits knew it, so they came to love her too. Ballanor continued to protect the hobbits, a task she was quite willing to do, and she became known as the Friend of the Halflings.

Peregrin Took, known as Pippin by his friends, was the youngest of Frodo Baggins’ best friends. Smaller then the rest, he was very curious and often got himself into trouble.
But he proved his merit when he saved Faramir from death as Denethor became crazed in despair after Sauron’s deception was revealed to him. It was Pippin who risked death to find Gandalf in the burning Minas Tirith.
It was Pippin who represented the hobbits when the Army of the West stormed the Black Gates in a desperate gambit. Pippin slew a troll and then was knocked unconsious as the troll fell on top of him. Gimli recognized Pippin’s hairy feet and dragged him out, saving his life.
It was also Pippin and his best friend Merry who were the leaders of the hobbits who overthrew Saruman’s minions in the Scouring of the Shire. Together they raised the Shire.
Yes, Pippin was a very worthy young hobbit, indeed.
