Barrow-downs

The Barrow-downs or Tyrn Gorthad are a set of downs east of the Old Forest. This is a dark and gloomy place that contains many barrows of the old kings of Arnor. It's not a nice region to live in, but a fearless treasure hunter can find many treasures in the ruins and barrows. The Barrow-Downs are bordered by The Old Forest to the West and Eriador.

Structures
The Barrow-Downs biome contains three structures: In addition, there can be found single ruin stones all throughout the biome.
 * Ruined Dunedain Towers - These towers found often in Eriador, have several floors and a treasure chest on the top floor.
 * Barrow-Downs Barrow - This structure is exclusive to the Barrow-downs. The barrow looks like a hill (similar to the Hobbit Hole) but contains a small room inside with a buried treasure chest. In the future, barrow wights can be expected to guard the chest.
 * Dunadain Ruin - This mini-structure is a tower without rooms inside that can reach from 3*3 up to 7*7 in size.

Mobs
The Barrow-Downs have all the normal animals, including wild boars instead of pigs, but no birds, butterflies or rabbits.

No orcs spawn here as this region is still under protection of the rangers of Eriador (and Tom Bombadil.) In the future, however, there will probably be Barrow-Wights inside the Barrows.

Vegetation
The Barrow-Downs contain few sparsely located trees that can be oaks, spruces, birchs or dead trees. There is an increased amount of double tall grass here, which can also grow inside the barrows and their entrances.
