  Tom Bombadil is the enigmatic Master of the Old Forest, called Iarwain Ben-adar, the oldest and fatherless, by the Elves, who remembers the world before the coming of the Dark Lord and over whom the One Ring has no power. He rescued the four Hobbits from Old Man Willow and the Barrow-wight in T.A. 3018 and lives with his wife Goldberry beside the Withywindle.

  Goldberry, the River-daughter, is the wife of Tom Bombadil, a being of the Withywindle whom Tom found among the water-lilies and brought to his house. She welcomed the four Hobbits in September T.A. 3018, spoke to them of Tom's mastery, and sang them on their way from the hilltop above the Downs.
