Reading #TheLordOfTheRings again this year. I'm struck by how disconnected all the people are. Roads are infrequently traveled. Lothlorien has lost contact with everyone except Rivendell. In all of Gondor, only Denethor remembers from lore that Rivendell even exists. In the north kingdom there is barely even traffic between Bree and the Shire.
The world shattered at the end of the Second Age and the people in it never came back together.
