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.
'Ah, welcome to the gates of the Bree community, Player! We have built this neighbourhood to accomodate the migration of people from the South, but there is room for more. Perhaps you would be interested?
'Don't let mere rumours of war and strife from afar dissuade you! With your patronage, our community stands poised to become the most prosperous neighbourhood in all the North!'1/1

'Ah, it is good that you have come by, Player! We've just recently completed some of the new homes that we will be offering to the prosperous and industrious folk of Thorin's Hall here in our community.
'What with the Men, Elves and hobbits all clamouring for our ore, business is brisk indeed, and it has brought many a fine miner and forge-crafter to our doors of late. You too, it seems.
'Well, waste no time, I say. Go ahead in and take a look around. You will find whatever it is you are looking for! The craftsmanship of our builders is second to none other in the Hall, and your money will be well spent indeed if you buy a home from us.'1/1

'Greetings Player, and welcome to the community of Duillond. The shipwrights of the Grey Havens labour ceaselessly to make ready the White Ships that depart into the West, but for many who come here the wait may still be a long one, and more come each day on the wings of the dark tidings that now stretch across the land.
'Thus we have found it necessary to build new villages here along the river's edge where travellers may await the day of their departure, or for those who do not wish yet to sail into the West, who choose to live here and provide services for those who do.
'Please enter our fair community and see if there is anything within that might suit your need, be it for but a short while or for a long time to come.'1/1

'Hallo there, Player! Have you come to take a look at the fine holes of our community?
'Not in living memory has the Shire seen such a time of growth and vitality as this! It is a time of industry and wealth for the taking if you know how... why, you would think we had all become dwarves or something!
'So for those with the ambition and means, a home of your own is not out of reach any more! You can go ahead and take a look for yourself if you like. I'm quite sure something will catch your eye!'1/1
