Quest:Homesteads of Eriador

	Quest: Homesteads of Eriador Description: With the rumours of war, the encroaching enemy driving the inhabitants out of the rural areas of Eriador, and further strife drawing settlers up from the southern lands, smaller communities are springing up in the North. An agent you encountered has suggested you might take the opportunity to purchase your own home by speaking to one of the brokers that can be found near the major communities throughout Eriador. Category: Housing Quest Level: 15 Ísleif (NPC) 'Greetings, (your name)! I have something to offer you. Since the eviction of the Dourhands, the prosperity of Thorin's Hall has been on the rise of late -- and with the Men of Bree-town clamouring for our goods, even more so! 'Such riches seem to draw folks out of the stonework, if you will, and so we've recently been opening out some wider tunnels and adding room for people to move in as they seek work in our mines and crafting-halls. You should go take a look and see if anything there fits your own needs! 'Seek out Rúni at the gates of the Thorin's Hall community. There is always room for another hard worker here!' Badennas (NPC) 'Good day, (your name). While you no doubt know that the presence of the Elves in Middle-earth has dwindled in the past age, it might surprise you to know that the communities along this river have grown in recent years as more and more of our brethren arrive awaiting their turn to sail into the West. We have even found it necessary to raise a new neighbourhood to accomodate those who are making the journey, as well as those who may not be travelling no further, but wish to live here and aid in the work we do here. 'I must admit, it is rather exciting to live in a community where there is such vibrance and life, and I have delayed my own journey twice already to remain here and enjoy the company of so many purposeful folk. 'But I digress. Should you seek your own dwelling here in our community upon the shores of the river, find Barchiril at the gates of the neighbourhood and speak with her. She should be able to help you.' Graland Whitfoot (NPC) 'Greetings (your name)! It's a fine day to be looking for a place to live, isn't it? The Shire has been most prosperous of late, most prosperous indeed, as the Men of Bree-land have come to rely upon us for ever greater stocks of quality produce and our unmatched flavours of pipe-weed. 'Of course, prosperity draws people to it, and our communities are growing. We even have a new neighbourhood now just south of Michael Delving. If you would like to see it, one such as yourself might even be interested in purchasing one of the new properities we have for sale there! 'Seek out Andy Brockhouse at the gates of the Michael Delving community and see if any of our fine holes suits your fancy!' Tad Ashmead (NPC) 'Greetings, (your name)! Hear me out for a moment, or you will miss the opportunity of a lifetime! As anyone with an ear to the ground knows, troubles in the South have brought new settlers here from across Eriador. With such a migration may come such blights as crowding and refuse -- even the rumours of war from the North, as well as the South -- and old Bree-town lies huddled within these old walls, becoming ever more pressed as each new arrival joins the throngs. 'Now a new settlement has been founded within a stone's throw of town! In the hills south-east of Staddle, new homes and estates are being built for those who have arrived of late. There is room for more, however. 'Seek out Nan Henwood at the gates of the Bree community and find your destiny as a proud land-owner in our fine township!'
