I'm trying to remember a book (or series of books, I want to think it was a trilogy) that I read when I was younger, still in jr. high or high school.

I think it had a similar theme to LotR in that in that it focused on the adventures of small people (I want to think elves, in this world elves were short, but I could be wrong), where they leave their village/land and go on to be part in a great war.

I seem to remember similarities with LotR with the fleeing of the hobbits being chased by the nine, but again I'm not sure.

I know it's not a lot to go on, but hopefully this might ring a bell with someone. It's been eating at my mind for a long time to try and find what it is.
