Why Did Everyone At The Council Of Elrond Regard Bilbo With Grave Respect? – LOTR Lore

Discover the hidden reasons why the greatest minds of Middle-earth—Elrond, Gandalf, and the assembled lords—showed such profound respect to Bilbo Baggins at the Council of Elrond. This deep dive explores ten fascinating aspects of Bilbo's journey that earned him a place among legends: his unprecedented resistance to the One Ring for sixty years, his scholarly mastery of Elvish lore, his encounter with Smaug the dragon, the ancient treasures he bore, his victory in the riddle contest against Gollum, his friendship with Thorin Oakenshield, his role as the "unlooked-for party" in providence's design, his survival through Mirkwood's corruption, his contribution to Middle-earth's recorded history, and how all these elements proved that hope was possible in the darkest hour. Through references from Tolkien's books and the deeper mythology of Middle-earth, we uncover why Bilbo wasn't just a former adventurer at that council—he was living proof that the impossible quest to destroy the Ring might actually succeed.
