Okay. I overlooked the lore explicit mentioning that Bree was the most western settlement of men at the end of the third age. That closes the case imo ... although I still find this difficult to accept based on other parts of lore and logic, especially considering geography, time, fertility of the land, the events during the last years of Arthedain and Angmar, etcetera ... it just doesn't make any sense, unless the significant former Arthedain lands (excl. the Shire) are entirely populated by other folk. :)

This does raise another issue though: What explains the presence of Rangers of the North west of the Shire? And if they would not be present in that significant area ... who controls these fertile lands? I mean, Angmar was destroyed, the Rhudaur with it ... and yet, in those barren regions the mod makes us believe there is sufficient populous available to muster significant armies ...
