Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza

How to Play:
1. The first person with the correct answer gets to choose the next character, thing or place. Please also follow with "Who Am I?", "What Am I?" or "Where Am I?" so we know which category you're playing.
2. The character, thing or place must have appeared in the list of sources posted below. When choosing a character, they must be conscious, though not necessarily known to speak (for example, Old Man Willow is acceptable, but not a lily by the Withywindle).
3. Each question must be about the character, thing, or place and be in a form that can answer "yes" or "no." You cannot say, "What race are they?" but you could say, "Is this an elf?" Do not ask two questions in one: "Are you a rock or a stone?"
4. Guesses are where you announce who the character, thing or place is ("Is it Minas Tirith?"). Do not guess two guesses in one: "Is this Merry or Pippin?" Responses to guesses don't need numbering. You only have one guess per round! I'm not going to enforce this old rule: Be a considerate player, and don't throw out a million guesses when you need more clues.
5. If the person whose turn it is doesn't answer any questions for 48 hours, someone else can jump in and start a new round. Alternatively, if a person who guesses correctly does not respond within 48 hours, someone else can step in and initiate a new round.

@Aikári Salmarinian Here's what I'm reading from Tolkien Gateway: "Hobbits were considered Men. Nearly all scholars agree that Men were closely related to Hobbits, far more closely than Men were to either Elves or Dwarves. It was thus commonly assumed that Hobbits were among the Younger Children of Ilúvatar and were the result of the same act of creation as Men. This would imply that Hobbits had the Gift of Men to pass entirely beyond Arda."

I always assumed they were human, just another race of humans.

It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits
are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than
Dwarves. Of old they spoke the languages of Men, after their
own fashion, and liked and disliked much the same things as
Men did. But what exactly our relationship is can no longer
be discovered. The beginning of Hobbits lies far back in the
Elder Days that are now lost and forgotten. Only the Elves
still preserve any records of that vanished time, and their
traditions are concerned almost entirely with their own his-
tory, in which Men appear seldom and Hobbits are not men-
tioned at all. Yet it is clear that Hobbits had, in fact, lived
quietly in Middle-earth for many long years before other folk
became even aware of them. And the world being after all
full of strange creatures beyond count, these little people
seemed of very little importance. But in the days of Bilbo,
and of Frodo his heir, they suddenly became, by no wish of
their own, both important and renowned, and troubled the
counsels of the Wise and the Great. TFOTR, Prologue

Well, according to Tolkien, they were. Thanks for letting us continue.
