"Hobbits really are amazing creatures, as I have said before. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you at a pinch."-Gandalf, in The Fellowship of the Ring

Merry Christmas my dude 🙏

Merry Christmas, my friend! What a wonderful present!

Congratulations sir!!! You make the world of Middle Earth come to life!!! I invite you to keep on going with the lore videos, they are really gold🤓

Merry Christmas to @ArachIR!!!!!!

Thank you for all your amazing work lads. Merry Christmas!

I hope Arachir that you have an amazing christmas you deserve it for all the effort you put into your mod and in these amazing lore videos sir please keep up the amazing quality and content of your work.

Could you have a Bree ring scrip where if a human player is playing as Bree, Bilbo starts with the ring or has a quest to find the ring in Goblin town?

Merry Christmas Galu, thanks for the video!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, keep doing amazing videos.

A Christmas gift to your viewers! Thank you!

Stay healthy , you deserve it for what you doing here. Merry Christmas to you Galu!

A fine Jol present for 5th day after the shortest day. Watching this took me back to the months I spent in the Shire & Bree in LOTR online a decade ago. Always got lost in that Old Forest (plus too many spiders in there when exploring alone) but getting past Old Man Willow to Tom Bombadil's made it worth while.

A lore video on Christmas?! Utter perfection. Also merry Christmas

I would like to thank you for this vid, and Tolkien for giving shape to his world and share it with us. Where ever he is he's watching this and smiling.

Merry christmas from Bolivia my friend, love your work!

Thank you sir! It's very entertaining just listening to your voice..

Absolutely love your videos man!

Merry Christmas Galu!

Merry christmas to you and all !!

Merry Christmas Arachir!:)

Merry Christmas GALUUU!!!!

merry christmas galu :)

Great video!

Have a Merry Christmas in your own little corner of the Shire!

Excellent!!! Cheers

Merry Christmas everyone!

So is this a rebranding of the lore overview you’re doing? But also transparently keeping up the older videos? Because I appreciate that

doesn't bree on the picture have 3 gates, Galu? Merry christmas, and thnx for the vid love the mod and vids you post

whondering around and making sure everyone turned off the lights HAHAHA thats a job for me!

Well, according to canon the Shire was granted to them by the king in Fornost. If Arnor is called to arms, they are a part of the kingdom and should provide troops to the muster. If Man didn't make note of them... Let us say that defeats are recorded differently than victories?

I believe that changing the name for Bree's generals to councillor/councilman or merchant, and naming the heir to the "speaker" or some such thing, would add to the faction's atmosphere positively. (However I have almost no clue if this is possible)

Men live in Forchel which is farther west of Bree

Hmmm... would the Papacy cardinal election work with Bree? The only grip will for that to happen is Bilob, he became a resident in Imladis and dosen't play much of a role other than writing his book. The only factions that would vote (with this mechanic function) are Bree, Rivendell and the Northern Dunedain.

ha like when you slaughtered a bunch of hobbits in the ar ardime campaign

Do Dol Ambroth

Why Dunland hold royal Tharbad at turn One ?

So basically Bree exists in the lore

Love this though I am no gamer. Hope the history is accurate.

Merry Xmaxs to all LOTR fans ;)

Great video arachir, as always - but it's Barliman ButterBUR, not ButterBEER!

Arachir why are the four hobbits not generals in the game? All the rest of the fellowship are, and it seems odd that sam, frodo, merry and pippin aren't.

Heh... breefly 0:28

👍

Does Bombadil figure in TATW?DAC?

I'd imagine Bree being much bigger due to increase in trade in the Arnorian times. It's only logical, it lays right on an important crossroads, in one of the largest and most powerful kingdoms. Bree i imagine is in Arthedain btw, not Cardolan, if we see the Great East Road (or the wall south of it) as the border, it would make more sense. The Witch-King i think wouldn't care all that much about Bree-land and the Shire, since they have no power to resist them, and they aren't Dúnedain, which he made his mission to defeat. I feel like after the fall of Arthedain, Bree would've become much smaller, i also doubt that the hedge really is there to hold off human attackers, seems more as a barrier aimed towards the Barrow-downs. Humans can literally go around onto the hill and assault from there. Also, isn't Eryn Vorn a bit further west compared to Bree?

I enjoy your storytelling but not the divide and conquer part of this video. Thumbs up!
