Neighborhood Presentation
The Neighborhood:
Have you ever dreamed of living among the River Hobbits of Lyndelby? Well, now you can, in this brand-new neighborhood.
This branch of the hobbits, usually rather wild, now welcomes you to its village at the footsteps of the Misty Mountains, in the Wells of Langflood region. A hobbit neighborhood, surrounded by mountains and the ancient ruins of Sundergrot. Now it’s up to you to decide whether you want to live in the heart of the village, or a little further away!
The Town Square:
As with all the other housing estates in Middle Earth, the Lyndelby neighborhood contains many basic goods and services in a central area of the village.
This includes a vault-keeper, auctioneer, forge and relic masters, supplier, healer, housing furnisher, task boards and collection boxes, and crafting stations. In addition, there is a housing broker here which will make visiting other neighborhoods quite convenient!
