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!'

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 this month’s Unexpected Market! This is a RP market event that will be a bit different than the usual Dwarven Caravan Markets that Durin’s Folk hosts. Once every few months there will be an Unexpected Market in which the Dwarves of Durin’s Folk visit some exotic, distant trading settlement that is well off the usual Dwarven trade routes. So come and join the Dwarves of Durin's Folk as they travel to random trading settlements across Middle-Earth in order to bring to them wealth and prosperity! And perhaps a healthy measure of mischief too!
