Fallohides
The Fallohides were the smallest group of the hobbit race and they lived in the forested region where later was the Eagles Eyrie near the north, in the Vale of Anduin.
The Fallohides were very fair in skin and hair color and they didnt grown facial hair. They were loved trees and forests, and they were skilled hunters. The Fallohides were friends with elves. Because of this they were more learned than the other Hobbits. They were the first to learn Westron, and they were the only ones to preserve some of their old history.
The Fallohides followed the Harfoots when they migrated around 1150. Unlike the Harfoots they crossed far north of Rivendell, and from there later met up with the Harfoots.
The Fallohides were more bold and adventurous than the Harfoots, many of them became leaders of the Harfoot villages. It was probably under Fallohide rule that the Harfoots migrated westward beyond Weathertop and reached Bree.
In 1601 two Fallohide brothers, Marcho and Blanco, by permission of King Argeleb II crossed the river Baranduin, which they named Brandywine and colonized The Shire.
The Fallohides learned Westron from the Men of Arnor, and it was they who first learned writing.
Afterwards the Fallohides mixed more and more with the Harfoots and later the Stoors, until the three Hobbit races became one.
The influental Took clan had distinct Fallohide traces both in appearance and character, as did the Oldbuck (Brandybuck) clan. Both Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins were part Fallohide, due to their Took mothers.
Other famous Fallohides included Bandobras Bullroarer Took, who slew an Orc leader, and Peregrin Took as son of the Thain was a Fallohide
