A Chronicle of the Company

Deed Lore

Follow the path of Thorin and Company through the Vales of Anduin.

To complete this deed perform the following objective(s)

• Where Bilbo lost his buttons

He was through, with coat torn, running down the steps, while confused goblins were still picking up his buttons at the gate.

• Where Bilbo reunites with the Company

How they jumped! Gandalf was astonished, as they all shouted with surprise and delight.

• Where the company encountered Wargs

You would have laughed, if you had seen the dwarves, up in the trees with their beards hanging down, like old gentlemen.

• Where the Eagles took the Company to safety

Gandalf, had once kindly assisted the eagles and healed their lord from an arrow-wound.

• Where the Eagles set down the Company

`Farewell! Wherever you fare, until your eyrie receive you at your journey's end!`

• Where the Company gathered at the Carrock

`This is not my adventure. I may look in on you again before it is over, for I have some rather pressing business to attend to.`

• Where the Company walked through Beorn's bee-pastures

They were bigger than your thumb, much bigger, and the bands of yellow on their black bodies shone a radiant gold.

• Where the Company came upon Beorn's house

'Here they are! They don't look dangerous.' Beorn laughed a great, low laugh, and put down his axe.

• Where Beorn meets the Company

`A very good tale!' said Beorn. 'The best I have heard for a long while. Let's have something to eat!`

• Where the Company had supper with Beorn

The dwarves' beards quivered as they listened, for they knew that soon they must venture into the Mirkwood.

• Where the Company enters the Mirkwood

`I hope you like the look of it. Now you must send back Beorn's ponies that you have borrowed.`

• Where Bilbo returns home

There, far away was the Lonely Mountain on the edge of the horizon. Snow remaining on its highest peak, unmelted and gleaming.
