      |  The Shirelands are a place that are open to the various        |
      |  travelers who wander into the Forest of Tears. However, a      |
      |  section of that city has survived the immigration and          |
      |  corruption of the Tall Races. There, the holbytla - or, as     |
      |  most call them, halflings - dwell. Mostly elders who detest    |
      |  the influence of Man and his ways, these hobbits are a simple  |
      |  folk. This section of the Shire is called The Burrows, and it  |
      |  is where the old ones make their stand.                        |
      |                                                                 |
      |  Ironically, it is rumored that the meeting quarters of the     |
      |  Darkhaven League of Halflings exists in this part of The       |
      |  Shirelands.                                                    |
