If the Turbine guided tour is willing to ride through Bree, well, no stop in Bree would be complete without passing through the doors of the Prancing Pony, the most well-known inn in the Lord of the Rings universe. This newest addition to Turbine's The Lord of the Rings Online "Exploring Middle-Earth" feature takes a closer look at the inn itself, and some of the people you might meet within its walls.

The Pony, as it is affectionately known, is owned by Barliman Butterbur, the latest in the Butterbur line to run the establishment. At his beck and call are Nob and Bob, two hobbits whose job is to ensure that guests are well taken care of. You may see them greeting guests, making beds, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, or bedding down the horses in the stable. Useful little chaps, they are.

And if you're very lucky, you may catch one frequent visitor to The Pony, a close and personal friend of the proprietor. Gandalf the Grey himself.

Being an inn, The Pony will serve as a reasonable place of lodging, as well as a common meeting point for players and NPCs to trade news and goods. As this is The Pony, however, Turbine advises guests to be wary, as the darkness descending has set some inhabitants of the town on edge. "Agents of shadow have been seen throughout the darkening streets of late, so even when resting comfortably at The Pony, adventurers... should be wary of speaking openly to strangers, and certainly should be aware not to take more ale than is good for them!"
