Since it’s a forum - I’ll get four rums, please.

It seems that they got Fornost (or it's abandoned anyway), they got Amon Sul (what's now Weathertop) and they got some area that's now the Barrow Downs. The Barrow Downs area was the most western area that they got into that I can think of. However, it seems that something kept them out of...

What is the secret of Bree? At the beginning of the Third Age, there were many peoples in Eriador. The land was comparatively densely populated. At the end of the Third Age, there was only the Shire - and Bree. The former was founded relatively late, when Arnor was already quite in decay. But...

If it's interesting to the denizens here, I might offer a bit of back-story to my own journey into the realms of Tolkien tactile artifacts. It begins of course with Gandalf arriving for Bilbo's party in the first chapter of THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: A Long Expected Party.... So...

Gandalf just before the Scouring of the Shire where he leaves the hobbits, mentions to Barliman that he can expect more people about. This got me wondering about Post-War Recovery of Middle-earth including financially. How long would this process take, or how short, realistically? And what...

There are towns in Middle Earth: Dale, Lake Town. Michel Delving in The Shire is described as a township with a town-hole. Bree is the chief settlement of Bree-land and sits at such an important road junction of the East-West road and the North Greenway. The Prancing Pony would always be busy...

Aragorn: Strider, I am, to one fat man who lives within a day's march of foes that would freeze his heart or lay his little town in ruin if we would not guard it ceaselessly. What is he talking about? The only evil things nearby are the Barrow Wights and the Old Forest (if evil that is)...

Can anyone provide a complete (or at least partial) listing of the contents of all issues of the Mallorn, Mythlore and Beyond Bree journals? The contents are not listed at www.tolkiensociety.org, www.mythsoc.org and www.cep.unt.edu/bree.html respectively, and I have contacted each...

Not sure if this goes here, feel free to move it. I just started reading chronicles of narnia for the first time, and in my version in the beginning there is a "cast of characters." One of the characters is Bree, and Bree is a horse. Now I know that Tolkien and Lewis were friends, and...

"Welcome to Bree!" The Gatekeeper bellowed as he warmly welcomed another group of wandering visitors into the bustling little town. A common scene now as the highways of the north filled with tradesmen and visitors from the South. Men of all races, dwarves, hobbits, even an occasional elven...

Here is a brief synopsis of the story. - The town of Bree: A day in the life perspective of this active little town, includes stories from the locals and visitors alike. People can come and go as they like...although locals of course will remain throughout the story. I will not list...

I think it says in the Silmarillion "Of the Coming of Men into the West" that Bereg (son of Beregund of Beor I think?) led a host of men, who tired of and disliked the power of the Elves in Beleriand, into Eriador never to be seen again. Coudl these be the men who would later come to found Bree...

i always wondered what everyones take would be on that one? any ideas?

Stop me if you think you've heard this one before. Having read TLOTR about 20 years ago I'm back again (PJ movies inspired) and setting off again. What strikes me now is how incredibly visual and absorbing it really is. I know Middle Earth is real. So as Questions occur I wouldn't mind sticking...

Is there any evidence anywhere to say that the Bree-men really are descendants of men of Middle-Earth that never went to Numenor?

I guess you can tell that I thought this scene went differently...
