Bilbo & Frodo's Birthday

On September 22, we pause to honour two of the most famous Hobbits in all of Middle-earth.

Bilbo and his nephew Frodo share the same birthday and you’ll surely find the residents of the Shire abuzz with rumors of the Riddle-master – a mysterious traveler who appears around this special anniversary to challenge adventurers’ riddling abilities. Can you outsmart the master?

Be sure to seek out Frodo and see if you can be of assistance with a matter of some importance.
