Interesting, Esty; I know that Trotter has less depth than Strider, of course, but (perhaps due to Child's influence) I found him fascinating. By LOTR it seems that Hobbits can only be found in two places-- The Shire and Bree. In a similar vein, Rohirrim are found in Rohan, etc; everyone is localized. Why would the Dunedain be the ONLY travellers? Aside from Gildor and Strider and Black Riders, what other travellers in the wild do we meet? The place is pretty empty.

I guess I (very much) liked the idea of turning a corner and meeting a wandering Hobbit.
