“Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.” — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
If you’re a Hobbit in search of a burrow, be sure to give Sootcrest in the Shire Homesteads on Laurelin a snoop!



Sootcrest follows in the footsteps of full homesteads like Bramblebury (home of the Bramblebury Gazette) and Songburrow (home of the Grand Order of the Lost Mathom) in providing a place for likeminded (Hobbit roleplayers) to gather together.
The Hobbitry-in-Arms makes its home there:
- 4 Brookbank Street – Hobbitry-in-Arms (kinship burrow)
- 4 Myrtle Court – The Dancing Coney (our inn!)
- 5 Harrow Road – The Hobbitry Maker’s Hall (crafting facilities, open to all)
- 2 Chalk Road – The Hobbitry Mathom-house (our trophies and mathoms)
There are several burrows available if you’re looking!
