Crossing the Brandywine Bridge
Fairwynn of Rohan had travelled a long way to escape attacks in the Westfold from evil Dunlendings who were under the command of Saruman. She arrived in Bree, only to find that Saruman’s reach had extended further west and he had sent evil men who were beginning to terrorize the Breeland countryside and soon they were crossing the Brandywine Bridge and entering the Shire.
Many of the hobbits in Buckland and the Marish in the Shire were getting anxious and they were enlisting the help of any willing Free People of Middle Earth to put a stop to the attacks of innocent farmers and travellers on the East Road. Fairwynn had earned the trust of some of the locals including Farmer Maggot, after Fairwynn ventured into the Old Forest in search of Doderic Brandybuck and Rollo Maggot.
After all, not even the locals, except for young foolish hobbits, ever venture into the Old Forest, especially at night. But Fairwynn had entered, fearlessly slaying wolves, bears, and other creatures who attacked anyone who ventured into the forest. Even the trees were dangerous in the Old Forest, yet Fairwynn used her musical skills to sooth the restless trees and she returned unscathed.
She was the talk of Buckland that day. Celandine Brandybuck introduced her to the townsfolk and they fed her supper and toasted her bravery. Fairwynn of Rohan spent many weeks travelling between Bree and the Shire via the Brandywine Bridge for she had come to love both places and the folks who lived there.
