Description

Tom Bombadil dwells in the Old Forest of Bree-land. His race is unknown, but one possibility is that he was a spirit planted in the world when it was created. Though he is very powerful and of goodwill, he shares next to no kinship with the rest of Middle-earth. He has multiple names, most of them meaning "first-born". His wife is the River-daughter, Goldberry.

"He seems a jovial (if not somewhat absurd) fellow, skipping and singing through the treacherous Old Forest at the Bounds of Buckland; but beneath the surface is hidden a Power that few, even the Wise, can comprehend. He is old beyond the count of years – indeed, the Elves once called him Iarwain Ben-adar, Oldest and Fatherless – and once leapt upon the hilltops across the wide lands of Middle-earth. Now, though, he has settled in the Old Forest with his wife Goldberry the River-daughter, and set for himself unseen bounds which he no longer crosses." - Lorebook article
