Child of the 7th Age is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
But what about the fact that the Dunedain policy was actually reaffirmed by King Elessar when he condoned a law that prohibited Men from entering the Shire? Is Tolkien trying to say that this kind of separation of peoples is the only way to maintain peace and ensure independence? If so, I find that unsettling.
