Stock (Hobbitish for Hamlet) is a settlement located within the area of the Marish, in the Shire. [32.1S, 63.8W]
Being the last hobbit village before the Brandywine Bridge, or being the first resting place when arriving to the Shire, Stock is a busy conjunction. The old Great East Road bends itself around the famous Golden Perch Inn, which also is where the Stock Road ends, or starts, whichever is your destination.
A handful of hobbits unsatisfied with the Bounders handling of troubles in the area has lead to the formation of the Vigilance Committee, a sort of neighborhood watch.
