The Land of Bree

Bree-Land Quest Guide

By Darkgolem







Bree is a mixture of forest, farmland, swamp and moor, spread out over
a large area.  Many adventures are found through Bree-Land,
ranging from 9th to 25th level.  There is to do without every
entering Bree (though you will want to).  The majority of quests
involve dealing with the southern bandits and orcs found in northern
Bree-Land, but in addition there are a smattering of quests of other
types found in the area.



The largest set of quests is the quest chain involving the ranger,
Saeradan.  To do this quest chain, you must do the "Rangers and
Rogues" quest found in Bree-Town.  There are also quests found at
Thornley's farm, the Horsefields, and one or two by themselves in the
wilderness.

Saeradan's spy will meet you at night by a grey rock in a stand of

Saeradan has sent you to meet a spy he infiltrated into the ranks of
the brigands, in hopes that he will reveal information about Sharkey
and his plans.



2.  Bring the spies notes to Saeradan



Saeradan remains at his cabin east of Thornley's fields.



The spy's notes further supported the brigand's letter, verifying that
Sharkey is no brigand himself, but an influential man of the south.
Saeradan should be warned.



(Author's note:  When you
arrive at the spy (who is located just
north of the north gate of Bree-Town, behind a boulder on the right),
and speak to the spy, two waves of brigand's will attack.  Be
prepared to fight, and bring a friend.)

and travel south, scattering the brigands and slaying their leader.

The meeting place is somewhere not far south of Trestlebridge.
