<p>87.101.209.10: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Stoors''' are one of the three races of [[Hobbit]]s.<br /> <br /> In their earliest recorded history the Stoors, like the other Hobbits, lived in the Vale of [[Anduin]]. They were a riverside people that dwelt in the [[Gladden Fields]], and were fishermen. They were broader in build than the other Hobbits, and had large hands and feet. Among the Hobbits, the Stoors most resembled [[Men|Humans]].<br /> <br /> Stoors were the only Hobbits who normally grew facial hair. A habit which set them apart from the [[Harfoots]] who lived in the mountain foothills, and the [[Fallohides]] who lived in forests far to the north, was that many Stoors used boats, and could swim. They also wore boots.<br /> <br /> After the Harfoots had migrated westward, and the Fallohides followed them in 1150 of the [[Third Age]], the Stoors long remained in the vale of Anduin, but between 1150 and 1300 they, too migrated west. Unlike the other Hobbit-kinds they took the [[Redhorn Pass]], ending up in [[Eregion]] and [[Dunland]]. Some Stoors went to the Angle south of [[Rivendell]] and mingled with the Harfoots and Fallohides that lived there, but most settled in the [[Swanfleet]] near [[Tharbad]], which most resembled their old lands.<br /> <br /> After 1300 when [[Angmar]] began t<br /> 5B4<br /> o threaten [[Eriador]], many Stoors fled south to their kin in Dunland, where they became a woodland people. Some few returned to the vale of [[Anduin]] and resettled the [[Gladden Fields]], becoming the riverland people [[Déagol]] and [[Sméagol]]-Gollum belonged to. This is evident from [[Gandalf]]'s description ''I guess they were of hobbit-kind, akin to the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors'' in [[The Fellowship of the Ring]]. <br /> Some of these villages might have survived until the [[War of the Ring]], when they were sought out by the [[Ringwraiths]].<br /> <br /> However, most Stoors fled to the north and west, ending up in the newly founded [[The Shire|Shire]] around 1630. There they mingled with the Harfoots and Fallohides, becoming the Shire-folk. The Hobbits of the ''South Farthing'' remained very Stoorish in appearance and character, as did some of the Hobbits of [[Bree]] and [[Buckland]]. The clan of the [[Brandybuck]]s had many Stoor elements.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Races of Hobbits]]<br /> [[Category:Hobbits]]<br /> [[Category:Stoors]]</div>
