We see more of the prosperous human city of Dale and a young Girion (the ancestor of Bard the Bowman) attempting to defend his city. More importantly, we see a key interaction between the Elven King Thranduil and the Dwarf King Thrór.

This extra context makes the bitter rivalry between Thorin and the Elves much more understandable. 2. Bilbo’s Childhood in the Shire the hobbit an unexpected journey 2012 extended exclusive
