Northern Hobbits

Wild Hobbits continued to trap in the north country after the fall of Arthedain, often using old Orc lairs as their bases.The Rivermen trappers had  little wars with these Wild Hobbits, and occasionally their feuds spilled out into the Shire.The Rangers of the North seldom traveled into Forochel or  got involved in these disputes.Most Shire Hobbits shared this attitude.In the Fourth Age, King Elessar appointed a Warden of Northwatch to clean up his  frontier and rid the Forodwaith of its ancient evils. Frodo Gardner, son of the Shire Mayor Samwise Gamgee, became Royal Verderer, the Warden's  chief advisor;  he  began a program of tree and shrub planting along the streams of Forochel to "civilize" the country,now free of  the taint of Sauron  and Morgoth .The Lossoth knew these northern Hobbits as  "Ilouset Impset" or "Iloiset Lapset".
