“Home is behind, the world ahead,
and there are many paths to tread
through shadows to the edge of night,
until the stars are all alight.”
IC:
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
17 years have passed since Bilbo's 111th birthday, suprisingly Bilbo never left his ring to Frodo.
September T.A. 3001. After Bilbo's farewell party he left with Nar, Anar, and Hannar to Rivendell where they would stay for just a few days. Under the watchful eye of Elrond they stayed, per request of Gandalf, and upon leaving Elladan and Elrohir announced to Bilbo that they'd be joining him on his journey to the Lonely Mountain.
And so the six journeyd to Erebor, only to arrive in April of the next year. Bilbo got reunited with several members of the company that he took part of all those years ago. Dwalin, Dori and Nori, Glóin, Bifur and Bofur, and Bombur, they all met Bilbo once more at the Lonely Mountain. Bilbo also met Dáin II Ironfoot again who warned Bilbo of the "increasing shadows as of late".
After a month Bilbo decided to head for Moria, where Balin, along with others, had set up a Dwarven colony.
Along with Elladan and Elrohir, Dwalin, and Glóin's son, Gimli, Bilbo travelled to Moria, only to find out about the disasterous end Balin and the others had met. The company decided it was not safe to wander around and decided to head back to Erebor where they delivered the news to King Dáin II Ironfoot.
Months later it became clear that the Dwarves had started to preparing for a war, likely against the Orcs of Moria. Bilbo was not in a position to join and instead decided to return to Rivendell where he stayed since January T.A. 3004.
The world has grown darker ever since then, the Dwarves have gathered and have started to march west, both to Moria as to Gundabad. In the south Gondor faces the encroaching forces of Mordor and struggles to keep hold of Ithilien.
Close to Hobbiton Black riders have gathered, searching for a Hobbit by the name of Baggins. Gandalf, with support of the Rangers of the North fought them off two times and as the Rangers hold guard Gandalf has urged Frodo to leave the Shire and head for Rivendell.
Isengard has grown cold as Saruman has ordered his own search for the Baggins through his many spies. Whatever happens next will determine the future of all of Middle-Earth.

Darkness has spread and Middle-Earth is on the verge of war. What role you will play in this is entirely up to you. Will you join the dark side or will you stand with the free peoples? And will you be a mighty King or will you be a humble soldier?
