treeshepherd[Let it never be said that Treebeard was hasty. Two weeks after his arrival in the woods near the castle, and he had finally started to consider some of the oddities of the situation.

Learn now the lore of Living Creatures!
First name the five, the free peoples:
Eldest of all, the elf-children;

Man the mortal, master of horses:
and hungry as hunters, the hobbit children,
the laughing folk, the little people.
