In J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," the men from Lake-town, also known as Esgaroth, receive help from Bard the Bowman. After the destruction of Lake-town by Smaug, Bard rallies the survivors and leads them to aid Thorin Oakenshield and the dwarves in their quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. Additionally, the Elves of Mirkwood, led by Thranduil, also come into the story, seeking a share of the treasure and offering their assistance during the ensuing conflicts.
