Roac


 * Roac** was the son of Carc, a raven, living near the city of Dale. Roac played a cructial role in the Hobbit as he could communicate with the dwarfs and Bilbo although he was old at the age of 153. He was crippled and could hardly talk and fly. He was the chief of the Great Ravens of the Desolation of Smaug. He was the one who told the party of Smaug's death in Lake-Town. He also advised Thorin to put his trust in Bard the slayer of the dragon. Thorin didn't take the raven's advice and told Roac to send for the dwarfs of the Iron Hills.
