Rooms in The Shire

• A barn - Animals of every sort fill the small barn. You feel the hot breath of horses and cows on your neck and you feel the sudden need for fresh air. Other than that, you feel cozy and protected and don't mind staying for a bit longer. All the warmth and good vibes remind you of the days when your mother would hold you in her arms and sing you to sleep. You find yourself wanting to cradle all the animals.
• A chicken coop - You stand inside a rather crowded chicken coop. The cackle of hens fill the air. The only exit is to the south.

• Brandywine Bridge - You stand on a solidly built bridge. As you look down you spy gaily colored fish swimming with the current of Brandywine River.

You can hear hoofs scratching the ground in a frenzy and antlers rustling against the gates. They look eager to get out and the one at the back with the red nose looks downright vicious. He's the only one that isn't rattling his antlers he's just flashing you a menacing grin.
• The Watermill - Halfling workers are scattered everywhere, busy at work. You see the river to the west and get a compelling urge to grab the nearest worker and to toss him into the river. The entrance stands to the north while a door offers passage to the south.
• Took Hill - You stand on top of Took Hill, named after the legendary Bandobras Took. You feel honored to be standing on a hill named after your hero. From this vantage point you can see all of shiredom. You get the feeling that with ne stomp you could eliminate their great city. You can see the outline of Delos to the far east. Sounds of joyful celebration are heard from the fields west of here. The Brandywine flows by lazily nearby.
• Western end of grassy field - You are in the Healing Temple of Delos, where clerics of Isis work their powers with her blessing on all those in need of care. A feeling of peace and tranquility washes over you in waves like warm water on a cool night. Soft mats and cots are scattered around the room, as well as jars giving off an herbal fragrance that wafts through the room.
