Region: | Bree-land |
Location: | [31.1S, 51.2W] |
Bree is the capital city of Bree-land.
No doubt Bree is located at the heart of Bree-land, at the very cross-roads of the important Great East Road and North-South Road, the place where all merchants, royal messengers, explorers, and any traveller eventually will pass. Thus Bree have survived many hardships over the centuries and its residents have grown tougher. Here Men as well as Hobbits dwell, if not together so side by side, and they make their living from one another.
Bree provides all possible services, trainers, and vendors. Its crafting facilities include the Three-farrow Crafting Hall and facilities dotted here and there. The Bree-town Hunting Lodge hosts the Men of Bree reputation faction. South of town is the Bree Skirmish Camp located. "Welcome to Bree", says Mayor Graeme Tenderlarch.
Notice: Bree is basically set up by many blocks and squares, as well as civic structures and facilities. This page provides a summary but each location page list its details individually. Some of these locations are allowed to comprise a somewhat larger section than what is noticed at the in-game map, just to provide the better information about that section.

Points of Interest
Lore
- It was said to have been founded by Men who did not make it to Beleriand in the First Age, having forsaken their relatives who would become the Edain, they remained in Eriador. After the kingdom of Cardolan collapsed after war with Angmar, Bree became an independent city without any central authority or government for many centuries.
- Not long ago, on III 3018 September 29, Frodo Bagg.. eeh.. Underhill and three hobbits of his fellowship arrived to the Prancing Pony, met a (st)ranger named Strider, and hastily set off the next day after an eventful night. Now characters new to the Middle-earth will do their best to support that fellowship on their quest, whether that is to track down curious events in the wake of Frodo's quest, or to support the locals who struggle with new threats from all directions.
