Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) 02:32, April 25, 2017 (UTC) Actually, during the war of the ring the dundedaib couldn't defend Bree very much and Bree started being attacked by bandits and such. They made a guard and police force because of it, as seen in the books, with real guards. This being said this is an instance of gameplay>lore, to make an actual faction you need a military. Even the shire has shirrifs, and in the book they had like five. This being said, I recommend a Breeland armor for troops called Greenway Guards, which will be quite rare, then more common but still uncommon breeland miltia, which will use whatever armor and weapons they can muster. Then maybe breeland merchants who have iron armor and are very rare. Bree armor would be bronze tier, having dunlrnding and rohirric influences and even ranger. Open to ideas You're quite wrong, I'm afraid. Bree was harassed by ruffians and the like, and three men and two Hobbits were killed, but no police force or military was formed. The common folk defended themselves at a pinch, I gather. The only mention of any armed Breelanders was the Gate-keeper, who carried a cudgel during the troubles.

Bree does not need a military. They are usually protected infallibly by the Rangers, except for a short time during the War of the Ring. So no one should invade them. Any invasions would be intercepted and dealt with before reaching Bree-land. Even when Bree was not protected, only a handful of bandits attacked them. They do not need a dedicated military to defend against bandits. Okay, so, there could be a NPC named Bree Gatekeepers. They would wear bronze armour and a bree gambeson, which is dull red and grass green. This NPC could be armed with a Breeman Cudgel which would be crafted on a Breeland Crafting table with the same recipe as a sword but with two wood instead. There was only one Gate-keeper at a time. And he only used a cudgel at one time.

Rather than a common mob, just have only one spawning in the town of Bree when added.
