In a general manner, I shall wave my hands while irresponsibly scattering a few pipe-ashes, and say that Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Frodo all got their sense of The Something Higher from Bilbo's elf-stories. After all, if Sam had three verses of
Gil-Galad Was an Elven King memorized, he knew something about elves, and Mordor, too.
Those Tooks who went off on adventures might have known Something Higher, but at this point it is anybody's guess. I shall choose to neglect the un-Tookians.
Lobelia is on her own. Come to it, might she not have had an awakening from her experiences with Sharkey?
