Welcome to Bree, a village just east of the Shire and south of the Fornost Erain. Bree was an ancient settlement of man centuries ago, and continues to be an outpost to this day. Its townsfolk don’t take as kindly to odd strangers, especially them ranger folk. However, if you bring cheer and business, you’ll be welcomed just fine. Bree is one of the few settlements in all of Middle-Earth where hobbits and man live and work together in large numbers.

Occasional adventurer types might find interest and likely death in several nearby places. The Barrow-Downs are the cairns of old kings and stewards of ancient kingdoms. The dead are said to haunt these places, but the wealth of kings is also rumored to glitter under the soil. From the tops of the Bree Wall you can just make out the beginning of The Barrow-Downs on a clear day. If you get one of the night watchmen drunk, you might hear them speak stories of strange lights so far off as to be almost non-existent, at the edge of vision, coming from The Barrow-Downs.

Strange things have happened recently in Bree. Just recently, a party of hobbits arrived along with their leader, Mr. Underhill. That night, the Black Riders came, tearing through the city gate like a bolt of black lightning. All of the good townsfolk kept under their beds and felt as if the world would end. It did not, and the following day, the Underhill party left along with that ranger fellow, Strider.

Rumors began to mount. Somehow, the Black Riders knew exactly where and when to strike. Someone must have given them information, which means that someone in Bree is working for the agents of darkness. Who and why is something you don’t know, but you intend to find out!
