Let me present to you your new co-habitating nation of
1. Origins
The origin of Endórë is very Tolkienesque.
As you might already be well aware, once Sauron the Enemy has been defeated, the returning king Elessar took upon himself, with much success, the great task of rooting all evil out of the newly Unified Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. In the meantime, it could appear to some as if all Elves and all of their magic were destined to eventually leave the Middle-Earth (or Endórë, as it is called in Quenya, the noble Elvish). However, many elves would elongate their departure from Grey Havens for the undying lands of Valinor and keep inhabiting Endórë. On a rare day, one could still catch some hobbit (most probably a Baggins or a Took) in the act of visiting the elvish realm of Lothlórien, feasting, dancing and singing with the remaining elves from one dawn till the next.
More than one hundred years after the ring's destruction, both the king Elessar and queen Arwen Undómiel met the inevitable fate of all mortals and left the rule to their children, prince Eldarion and princess Aralas. King Eldarion eventually opted to dedicate his life to his one true calling, that is, wine and poetry. Him stepping down and making place for the much more competent queen Aralas is the last information we have about history of Endórë, before all written sources dry out.
2. The Migration Period
That is, until that fateful day when, no one knows how or why, the entire mass of Endórë and its inhabitants got catapulted onto its almost light speed fast journey through the vast emptiness of the Universe. The elves blamed some unfortunate dwarves for digging too deep for gold, and possibly breaking the spell that had bound Endórë to the rest of the continent. The dwarves themselves suspected some sort of dark involvement, probably an irritated balrog monster longing for his mate, finally deciding to settle the bills once and for all. The humans desperately tried to stop all quarreling; however the sneaky hobbits made the most of their situation, stealing all remaining elvish stockpiles of the lembas bread.
As times dilates when approaching the speed of light, no one can really tell how much of it has elapsed. But eventually, the she dwarves smuggled some athelas into the commonly drunk afternoon tea. Due to its calming effects, the voyagers finally agreed on the fundamental problem: "how do we slow Endórë's speed down and where could we possibly land afterwards?"
Just when the elves tried to attack the dwarves once again, shouting something about "experience with being slow not being put to good use", a giant Flying Spaghetti Monster appeared in the immediate surroundings. Cracking its gentle pasta smile, it directed Endórë onto its trajectory towards the planet of Natia.
3. New Home
Endórë's landing didn't cause much trouble and almost passed unnoticed, probably because the hobbits' smoke signals got confused for a pipe of peace, the endorians thus gaining a status of "mostly harmless". The settlers slowly started adapting to their new reality, with elves disappearing in the forests, dwarves digging under the mountains and halflings constructing their luxurious holes under the hills. At first, no one seemed very interested in the surrounding nations and their customs; perhaps with the exception of some hobbits who gradually plunged in the all-norigin-wide shisha trafficking business.
Nevertheless, music crosses all borders and languages. A huge part of the endorian population now enjoys tuning in to both long and short waves - some elves using their natural telepathy capabilites, and the dwarves manifacturing radios for everywhone else. Endórë thus gets better and better acquainted with the latest musical trends beyond its borders. Maybe the time has finally come for the folks of Endórë to establish diplomatic relations with their neighbours. Sending an NSC representative could be a perfect first step in such direction...
4. Some interesting details about Endórë
Political system
At the moment, there is no formal government and Endórë can therefore be considered a partial anarchy. The elvish, dwarvish and human king however congregate four times a year on a Great Council, to which the hobbits mostly cannot be bothered sending a representative to.
Inhabitants (precise figures are unfortunately unavailable)
Elves - 1.000-10.000
Dwarves 50.000-100.000
Humans around 100.000
Hobbits 10.000-20.000
Possible occurences of dragons, wizards, acromantulas, oliphants, Tom Bombadills and orgs
Languages
Common Tongue
Quenya (noble Elvish)
Sindarin (common Elvish)
Dwarwish
Some endorians now also speak English and French, particularly enjoying the musicality of the latter
National songs
Howard Shore's Concerning Hobbits is a tune often played during any important or official events, though there is a recent preference of some humans to substitute it for David Bowie's Starman in reference to the great endorian journey
Commonly observed days of celebration:
25. 3. - The Fall of Sauron Day (the day when the Enemy finally fell)
20. 9. - The Spaghetti Day (the day when Endórë landed on Natia)
Preferred dishes
Lizza - basically a pizza with a lembas foundation
Preferred music styles (i.e. expect possibly any of these as the endorian representative)
Elves - enyaesque, classical western music
Hobbitses - irish pub pop
Dwarves - hard rock, symphonic metal
Orges - Morian metal
Wizards - classical indian music, Bollywood
Humans - all genres not listed above
Please may all Tolkien and physics purists excuse me for all the many artistic liberties taken and mistakes made.
