History

During his rule, the hobbits of the Shire flourished under the protection of the Rangers, with Tobold Hornblower planting the first pipe-weed in the Southfarthing, and the tenth Thain, Isengrim Took II, started digging the Great Smials.

Arahad died in 2719, after having ruled for 65 years, and was followed by his son, Arassuil.
