THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU HERE

A town is more
than its buildings.

Familiar faces, a neighbour’s market, and the joy of a good find. Discover the social side of The Shire.

A FEW FAMILIAR FACES

Good company.
Unexpected adventures.

Some people help you find your feet. Others send you out into the world. Make time for both.

A WARM WELCOME AT THE INN

Hugh the Innkeeper

Build an Inn and welcome Hugh to your Shire. His guests bring stories that lead to the granary, the river port, distant shrines, and even the mystery of Baron Osbert’s stolen seal.
