Shire
The Shire is the village home of the happily ignorant Halflings. The area is patrolled by Shiriffs and the Shire is led by the Thain. Famous bars in the Shire include the Green Dragon and the Ivy Bush. The Shire is renown for its pipeweeds and tobacco plants.
The Shire is northwest of Midgaard, west of Boscaccio, north of the Darken Woods and south of the Icy Cliffs.
