Raising The Shire

The Lord of the Ring Online Adventures as Told by Hobbits of the Shire

Welcome!

Come in and sit yourself down. A hobbit will serve you ale or red wine a-plenty and the best provender of the Shire. You will soon discover that we hobbits are not to be trifled with. Just ask those tough ugly orcs in Dol Dinen in the North Downs, for as little as we are, some of us have felled the likes of them, even alone! Folks around here think that our group of hobbit warriors have cracked just like Bilbo Baggins. But we'll let you decide...

The Defeat of Mazog in the Tower of Dol Guldur

Posted By on October 25, 2010


Pareth and her companion Celadyn were asked to assist the Golden Host as they battled throughout the Tower of Dol Guldur. They fought valiantly and secured the Entrance Hall, the Audience Chamber, the Lower Mustering Hall, and the Upper Mustering Hall.

Finally in the Armoury, Mazog, the evil general of the enemy, openly mocked them. And Broin, the dwarf who sought to retrieve Zigilburk, fought beside Pareth, fearlessly. The battle was over quickly and Mazog fell at the hands of Broin.

Pareth and Celadyn were curious about the mithril axe that was so prized by the dwarves and Broin was proud to show them the special weapon. “Come, friends, for it is done. Mazog has been defeated and Zigilburk is returned. Let us leave this foul place.” Broin said.

But Pareth was not quite finished with the enemies who lurked in that tower. For the elves had told her about evil minions who lurked in the dark recesses of the tower and who attacked them from behind. When it was all over, Pareth had slain several more of the enemy in the encounters throughout the halls of the tower.

The elves were grateful for Pareth’s assistance and they thanked her and invited her to share a meal and rest with them. Pareth accepted their kind offer for she was weary and within minutes of finishing her food, she fell into a deep dreamless sleep.

The Demise of Commander Tarsh

Posted By on October 11, 2010


Pareth received an urgent message from two dwarfs she had befriended on previous missions to eliminate the enemy. Taad, a hardy champion, and Jorgin, a skilled rune-keeper, both wrote Pareth, requesting that she meet them in Eregion outside of Mirobel.
Their intention was to defeat the Commander of the White Hand Uruks, Tarsh, who led the invaders who had taken over the School of Tham Mirdain.

Tarsh was a huge brute who almost got the best of Pareth, and had it not been for her dwarf companions, she would have been felled by Saruman’s evil commander.

“Pareth!” yelled Jorgin. “Back up! You are hurt! Let Taad finish him!” And Pareth instinctively knew the dwarf was right, and she backed up and was able to drink a strong healing draught that sustained her until the evil commander was defeated.

Taad and Jorgin rushed to Pareth’s side as she clutched her arm in obvious pain. “It’s all right, my friends, it’s just a scratch!” Pareth tried to reassure her companions, but they knew she was badly hurt. So they got her out of the crumbling school and to the camp nearby where Elven healers tended to her.

Pareth healed quickly and she earned the respect of the two dwarves that day. She was a woman indeed, but she was a warrior of Gondor, and she would go on to fight many more battles before her time was done.

Crossing the Brandywine Bridge

Posted By on September 23, 2010


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.
