Bree Commons Day

Each Stersday marks the beginning of the Bree week, when its shops and markets open to the public. “Commons Day”, the Bree-folk call it—though few now recall why. Old wives of Bree say it comes from the tradition of inns opening their common rooms to weary shoppers and workfolk seeking rest or a tall draught of beer after a full Sterday.

Come one and all to the Dwarven Caravan Market! This is a Dwarven-themed RP market event that will take place EVERY Thursday at a different trading settlement along the major trade route used by Dwarves to get to their mines in the Blue Mountains. This trade route will take the Dwarven Caravan Market through Thorin’s Hall, Gondamon, Needlehole, Bree, Ost Guruth, Rivendell, and Gloin’s Camp. And every market will have a unique RP situation to connect it to the context of a wider Middle-Earth.

The smell of pipeweed and the sound of merry laughter drifts from the open door of the Inn of the Prancing Pony. It is a Highday, and like every Highday, Barliman Butterbur has opened his  common room to guests from lands near and far to sample his beer in exchange for coin, conversation, and a promise 'not to go up into thin air, thank you very much!'
