Approaching his 111th birthday, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins begins writing down the full story of his adventure 60 years earlier for the benefit of his nephew Frodo. Long before Bilbo's involvement, the Dwarf king Thrór brings an era of prosperity for his kin under the Lonely Mountain until the arrival of the dragon Smaug. Destroying the nearby town of Dale, Smaug drives the Dwarves out of their mountain and takes their hoard of gold. Thrór's grandson Thorin sees King Thranduil and his Wood-elves
on a nearby hillside, and is dismayed when they take their leave rather
than aid his people, resulting in Thorin's everlasting hatred of Elves.
In the Shire, 50-year-old Bilbo is tricked by the wizard Gandalf the Grey
into hosting a party for Thorin and his company of dwarves: Balin,
Dwalin, Fíli, Kíli, Dori, Nori, Ori, Óin, Glóin, Bifur, Bofur, and
Bombur. Gandalf's aim is to recruit Bilbo as the company's "burglar" to
aid them in their quest to enter the Lonely Mountain. Bilbo is unwilling
to accept at first but has a change of heart after the company leaves
without him. Travelling onward, the company is captured by three trolls.
Bilbo stalls the trolls from eating them until dawn; when Gandalf
exposes the trolls to sunlight, it turns them to stone. They search the
trolls' cave and find treasure and Elven blades. Thorin and Gandalf each
take an Elf-made blade—Orcrist and Glamdring, respectively—with the latter finding an Elven shortsword, which he gives to Bilbo.
The company meets the wizard Radagast the Brown, who tells them of an encounter at Dol Guldur with the Necromancer, a sorcerer who has been corrupting Greenwood with dark magic. The company is then chased by orcs on wargs. Radagast covers the company's escape as Gandalf leads the company through a stone passage to Rivendell. There, Lord Elrond discloses a hidden indication of a secret door on the company's map of the Lonely Mountain, which will be visible only on Durin's Day. Gandalf later approaches the White Council—consisting of Elrond, Galadriel and Saruman the White—about his involvement with the dwarves. He also presents a Morgul blade Radagast obtained from Dol Guldur as a sign that the Necromancer is linked to the Witch-king of Angmar,
despite Saruman's skepticism. When Saruman presses concern to the more
present matter of the dwarves and Smaug, requesting that Gandalf put an
end to the quest, Gandalf secretly reveals to Galadriel he had
anticipated this and had the dwarves move forward on their quest without
him.
