Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I am standing in a large settlement with many streets, vendors, a couple of auction houses and some taverns to whet the thirst. It is obviously the capital of this region.
Where am I?
2. Well I'm feeling a bit thirsty and it would be best if I rest the night before trekking across this marvelous region. I make my way to a busy tavern which is filled with both men and little folk... Hobbits I believe they are called.
The Tavern-keep is friendly enough although a bit forgetful. Butterbur I think his name was.
Where am I?
3. After a good night's sleep I travel south-east to a small village on the edge of a pond named Little Staddlemere. To my surprise I find well tended fields and Hobbit dwellings throughout the area. One could think that I had strolled into the Shire! However this village is in the middle of Bree-land!
What is the name of the village?
4. Walking through Chetwood South I come across a huge tree growing in the middle of the Great Eastern Road. It is obviously very old and its form is silhouetted against the ruined fort of Ost Baranor.
What is the name of the tree?
5. From the tree I travel east and find a flat expanse of treacherous bogs, home to insects and cricket-like critters named neekerbreekers. Scattered throughout are a number of ruins, now mostly infested by goblins. The air is dank here; not the most picturesque place in Middle Earth, however useful if you and a group of friends want to stay out of sight of black riders.
What is the name of this wetland?
6. Travelling further east from the wetlands I come to a range of hills. These hills continue into the Lone-lands and include the notorious peak known as Weathertop. In Bree-land east they are the foothills but they contain many dangerous creatures and, more recently, orcs.
Where am I?
7. Heading due north along the ranges I make my way past Far Chetwood to a large lake which contains five islands. The lake is fed by a river which passes through some breath-taking gorges to the lake's west.
Although visually stunning, the area has very few inhabitants except for wildlife which roams freely around its shores. Visitors are warned to keep a good distance from two wood-trolls named Tarburz and Durharna who have been known to frequent the area.
What picturesque lake is this?
8. From the lake I travel west to find rolling grass plains spotted with some old ruins. This is horse country and the area is fittingly called the Horsefields. A little further along I come to a farm that breeds and sells horses. The horse-master Eogar, son of Hadorgar, is well known throughout Middle Earth for the superior horses he breeds.
What is the farm's name?
9. Travelling south-east I come to Archet Dale, an area of lush terrain surrounded by high hills. In the eastern corner of this dale is an old ruined fort, once an abode of the Men of Arnor. However these days it has been overrun by brigands known as the Blackwolds.
Although a significantly historic and fascinating site, travellers are warned to be wary if visiting here. If a Blackwold asks you to hand over everything in your possession, you are not being checked for customs; you are being mugged!
What is the name of this ruin which has adopted the name of its current tenants?
10. To complete this tour of Eastern Bree-land let's visit a place that dates back to the early days.
Heading south through Chetwood toward the enchanted tree we visited earlier I come to an enchanted pond frequented by a beautiful river maiden named Willowsong.
What is the name of the pond?
