Quick Post

Description

Members of the Shire's Quick Post mail service are known as Postmen, and are under the direction of Postmaster Proudfoot at the Quick Post office in Michel Delving's Town Hole. Postmen are responsible for delivering the letters written by Hobbits who have learned to read and write.

As of late, the Quick Post has been overwhelmed and under-staffed, leading the various Postmen throughout the Shire to seek help from willing adventurers they find to be trustworthy enough to deliver the bundles of mail within the allotted time and avoid nosey Hobbits.

Lore

"People became enthusiastic; and they began to tick off the days on the calendar; and they watched eagerly for the postman, hoping for invitations.

"Before long the invitations began pouring out, and the Hobbiton post-office was blocked, and the Bywater post-office was snowed under, and voluntary assistant postmen were called for. There was a constant stream of them going up the Hill, carrying hundreds of polite variations on Thank you, I shall certainly come." — The Hobbit
