Map

 ​



This first map is the map that Thror made. It is the map that goes to the dragon. The dragon that is guarding great treasures. Dwarves love treasures (they use their favorite weapon, the axe, they also use pickaxes for mining) and most of them are greedy. (Smaug is very greedy, he kept all of the dwarves gold and killed everyone.) This map was Thorin's grandfather's and father's handed down to him. The letters that are under "The Desolation of Smaug" are moon-letters. Moon letters can only be read by certain moon lights. The dwarves invented them and wrote in silver pens. On this map part of the letters say, "Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks and the setting sun with the last light of Durin's Day will shine upon the key hole." The letters on the far left say, " five feet high the door and three may walk abreast." Durin's Day is the first day of the dwarves' new year.

 This map shows the great forest of Mirkwood that the dwarves and Bilbo entered. It is filled with many magical creatures. On the other side of the Misty Mountains you can see Rivendell. This is where Bilbo and the rest learned about the writing of the other map from Elrond.  The Shire - A peaceful place where Bilbo Baggins and the rest of the hobbit race live. Bilbo Baggins is an unlikley hero in this story, but very important. The start of the story is here. It it where the dwarves, Bilbo, and Gandalf (Gandalf always takes the concept "use of power" very seriously) meet for the very start of their adventure.



Gollum's Home - Located in the Goblin's outer caves, Gollum lives in a dark and secretive place, by the lake and where no one goes anymore because there have been mysterious deaths down here. Gollum lives on the middle of the lake on a island. The ring is hidden here.

 Beorn's House - A very big, fancy log cabin that is located in the forest, outside the Misty Mountains. It is the meeting place for all of the animals that dwell around him. Beorn is a shape shifter that takes two forms, a bear and a human. He has many animal friends that stay with him at his house. All sorts of animals even come in to his house to serve food.

 Misty Mountains - Goblins, Wargs, and some Eagles live on and in these mountains. Gollum lives just inside these mountains. They are rough, jagged and kind of steep. They are very sharp in some places. They are not meant for climbing. This is where Bilbo recieved the sword, Sting. This is where the chance vs. fate concept comes in with Bilbo finding the ring.

 Rivendell - Rivendell is a peaceful elvish town. This is where most of the "high elves live." It is hidden in a small valley. It is very peaceful and Elrond lives here. The town is composed of many bridges.  Mirkwood - A dark and long, deep forest. The trees in this forest are very think and gigantic. This is not a forest to take a short walk in either, because it is very easy to get lost in all of it. The Wood-Elves live here. There are many dangerous and secretive creatures hidden in the forest. One type of animal that dwells within the great forest is the big, gigantic tree octupus. Just kidding it is the really big spiders that have huge webs that can hold you or me. Bilbo kills many of them with his sword, Sting.

The Lonely Mountain - This is were Smaug, the jewel crusted dragon, lives over the dwarves treasure. There are secret passages in the mountain that were made by the dwarves. This mountain is located close to Laketown where the river that the dwarves and the hobbit traveled leads. This is close to the place where Bard killed Smaug with his arrow. His other companions also carried swords.
