From the Shire to Lyndelby
Wanted: Hobbits of questionable bravery and excellent appetites.
Kinship "From the Shire to Lyndely” seeks friendly folk for gentle wandering, sudden naps, and heroic deeds that can be postponed until after elevenses.
Must enjoy mushrooms, tolerate minor inconveniences like “quests,” and agree that the Shire was perfectly fine and we didn’t need to leave it… probably.

Cellina and her Original Fellowship: Fasgand, Monro and Wynbern.
Though many miles lie between the Shire and Lyndelby, Hobbits in both lands share the same enduring virtues: friendship, hospitality, courage, and a love of life's simple pleasures.From the Shire to Lyndelby was founded to celebrate the fellowship of all Hobbits. Here, we gather those who cherish good company, lively stories, hearty meals, and adventures shared among friends. Whether your heart belongs to the Party Tree, the banks of the Anduin, or the hidden smials of Lyndelby, you shall find a place among us.We do not seek glory or conquest. Rather, we seek the kind of tales worth retelling beside a hearth-fire: journeys undertaken together, friends made along the road, and memories forged through fellowship.From the green fields of the West to the hidden valleys of the East, our paths may differ, but our destination is the same: a warm hearth, a full table, and good company.
Kinship Motto
"Small feet upon long roads, together to journey home."Chief Hobbit Cellina Goldenberry
The tale began, as many good Hobbit tales do, around a table laden with food, laughter, and stories. Among the tales shared in the Shire were rumours of a distant settlement known as Lyndelby, a village beside the Great River where Hobbit-folk had made their homes far from the familiar fields and lanes of the West.Many dismissed such stories as little more than travellers' gossip. Yet for a few curious Hobbits, the thought of distant cousins living beyond the bounds of the Shire stirred a sense of wonder. If Hobbits could thrive so far from home, perhaps there were new friends, new tales, and new adventures waiting to be found.And so a small company gathered their packs, said their farewells, and set out eastward. The journey was long, carrying them beyond familiar roads and into lands few Hobbits had ever seen. Along the way, they shared campfires with strangers who became friends, exchanged stories with fellow travellers, and discovered that kindness and good cheer could bridge any distance.When at last they reached Lyndelby, they found exactly what they had hoped for: welcoming folk, warm hearths, and a community that felt wonderfully familiar despite the many miles between it and the Shire. Though separated by great distance, both places shared the same love of simple comforts, good company, and peaceful living.The travellers eventually returned home, but they brought back something more valuable than souvenirs or stories. They carried with them a renewed appreciation for fellowship and the knowledge that no Hobbit need travel alone. Inspired by their journey, they founded a kinship to celebrate the bonds forged between the Shire and Lyndelby.Thus was born From the Shire to Lyndelby—a kinship dedicated to friendship, community, and the spirit of adventure. Whether tending a garden, sharing a meal, enjoying a festival, or setting off on a grand journey, its members remember that the road is always better when travelled with friends.Today, the doors of the kinship stand open to all Hobbits who seek a welcoming home, a cheerful gathering place, and companions for whatever adventures may lie beyond the next hill. After all, every great journey begins with a single step beyond the garden gate.🌿🏡🍺
