The Shire

The Shire is a rarefied, peaceful land, unwittingly protected from the outside world. Its inhabitants do not suffer change, and on the whole avoid excitement. They enjoy their quiet, rural existence, and the rolling fields and gentle green hills of the Shire are the perfect place to live out such a rural idyll. Very little happens in the Shire: outsiders are not welcome, and any of the big folk who do make their way there are always treated with suspicion. Adventurers are certainly not knowingly tolerated within its borders.
