Background

The Hobbit takes place roughly around 60 years before the events of The Lord of the Rings. The story began at the hobbit-hole of Bilbo Baggins, where Gandalf the Grey asked him if he would like to go on an adventure, but he turned it down. Gandalf returned the next day with thirteen dwarfs, Thorin Oakenshield, Dori, Nori, Ori, Balin, Dwalin, Fili, Kili, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. After explaining to Bilbo that they were to go on a quest to reclaim their gold from Smaug, a fearsome dragon who had destroyed the village on the mountain and taken everything. Much to Bilbo's disgust.
