Topic: Forest of Brethil

  Welcome to Brethil (Beleriand MUSH)
Brethil - the name means 'Silver Birch' - is the dwelling place of the Haladin - the Second House of the Edain (Beor and Hador being the other two).
The forest provides for many of the needs of the wood folk - wood of course for building and fires, abundant plant life about the fertile river valleys, and plenty of fish and game for food, as well as shelter from the creatures of Morgoth that roam beyond the borders.
While the more peaceful side of Brethil life was never focused upon by Tolkien, we know that the Haladin are a nature-loving people, and prone to wandering off through their forest at random, for the simple enjoyment of nature.

Now the year passed and there was peace for a time in Brethil and Niniel was fully healed and had grown extremely fair, and Turambar could restrain himself no longer: he asked her hand in marriage.

Yet with the change of a name he could not change wholly his temper, nor wholly forget his old griefs against the servants of Morgoth; and he would go hunting the Orcs with a few of the same mind, though this was displeasing to Brandir.
