Bree-land

region
rustic stone village

Bree-land is a small, self-contained rural region of fields and tamed woodland clustered around the prominent Bree-hill, which stands tall and brown. The village of Bree features sturdy stone houses nestled on the western slopes, enclosed by a defensive dike and thick hedge with barred gates, while the ancient Prancing Pony inn provides a welcoming landmark with its wings built into the hill. The area feels like a peaceful island of habitation with leafy, colorful woods under clear sunlight before giving way to the surrounding empty lands and wilderness.
