![]() ![]() The level of his interactions with the outside world is also unclear however, he perhaps became a folkloric figure in the traditions and legends of Elves, Dwarves and Men. He also witnessed the reducing of the great forests that covered all Middle-earth, and perhaps of his powers. ![]() ![]() While his role and nature in the First and Second ages is unknown, but he must have witnessed most of the major events and battles. Tom would eventually "leave" where he came from and arrived in Middle-earth, where he began his journey through the region to explore it while wandering, having witnessed the emergence of the forests and the rain. In any case, Tom is insinuated to have been the first living creature to inhabit Arda. The origin and nature of Tom Bombadil are unknown however, he claimed already existed before the Dark Lord came to Arda, signifying he may have been alive even before the coming of the Valar (it is unclear whether he refers to Melkor's first or second entry into the world.).
