Okay, I agree that Istari in the form of hobbits would be weird, and maybe they would have had a lot less influence on the kings of men than Gandalf and Saruman as we know them have had. As for the general knowledge about hobbits outside the Shire, I suppose they would have been quite famous had the Istari been hobbits. Quite wealthy, too. Who better to advertise for Old Toby than a wizard who grows it himself?! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Heh, actually this turned out to be more fun than contemplation. Perhaps just as well. Made me laugh a lot... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
