Adventure by the Brandywine

Buckland Quest Guide

By Darkgolem

Located in Bree, on the Brandywine river, Buckland is the last major hobbit-only settlement before the lands of men. Home of the long established Brandybuck family, Buckland's residents live in constant threat from the dark and unsettling Old Forest. In the eaves of the forest, the hobbits of Buckland prosper, even entering the forest for hunting and wood gathering. Not everything goes well in Buckland though, and an adventurer can find many in need of help here. The Old Forest is the root of most of the troubles in Buckland. The Old Forest is full of wolves, spiders, bears and even forest worms. There are ancient trees there which are hostile to all of the free people, and you can expect to have conflicts with them if you enter the forest. Of note, the grasping roots found in the forest are sometimes (and sometimes not) attached to the hostile huorns of this forest. An adventurer should avoid conflict with the roots unless they are prepared to fight these very hard hitting and dangerous trees.
