Bree was the chief village of the Bree-land, a small inhabited region, like an island in the empty lands round about. Besides Bree itself, there was Staddle on the other side of the hill, Combe in a deep valley a little further eastward, and Archet on the edge of the Chetwood. Lying round Bree-hill and the villages was a small country of field and tamed woodland only a few miles broad.

Bree-land is a small plains-like biome with some forested variants. It is within the larger region of Eriador. Located east of the Barrow-downs, west of Midgewater, and south-west of Chetwood. Orcs don't spawn here as the rangers of Eriador guard the borders of this land - however, no Rangers spawn here either, although perhaps the occasional ranger will spawn to visit when the land is filled.
Bree-land is one of the few places in Middle-Earth where maple trees grow naturally.
In The Lord of the Rings, Bree-land contains 4 main villages: Bree, Combe, Staddle, and a town called Archet further north on the edge of the nearby forest called Chetwood. Bree-land is mainly inhabited by Hobbits and some men that share their ancestry with the Dunlendings and Rhudaur Hillmen. The Bree-folk, big and little, and their structures will be added to the mod at a later date.

Structures
No big structures generate here, but in the future the structures of the Bree-folk will dot the land. Occasionally, you may stumble about a small stone ruin.
Mobs
Due to the watchful eyes of the Rangers, this land is completely free of Orcs. However, Gundabad Orcs and Wargs do occasionally invade.
In the future, men and Hobbits of Bree will spawn here.
Vegetation
Bree-land is mostly composed of plains, but trees occasionally grow here, including the uncommon maple tree, from which you can harvest some tasty maple syrup. Occasional temperate deciduous forests dot the landscape, which contain beech, birch, oak, and, of course, the seasonal maple. Flower growth rates are average, as well as tall grass and its variants.
