This is beautiful & I can't wait to read it!
You cover just about everything I've ever wanted in this volume with a single exception: you're deleting Bree. I don't normally complain, but that's one of the tidbits I've really been looking forward to.
Oh well, I guess you can't please all of us all of the time, but you come close with this book & I'm stoked

... Perhaps Bree will be covered in Ruins of the North? Maybe it's the basis of an adventure in that supplement so it gets detailed there? I'm not 'in the know' here but it does seem like an odd thing to leave out; especially considering that the Barrow Downs are getting covered.
... Or perhaps there's a "Shire and Bree" supplement on the way?

"The Adventurer’s Companion – Not long after the release of the new core manual comes the first supplement aimed squarely at players. Including a whole wealth of advice, ideas and background for making your own hero and company, as well as new Heroic Cultures including Bree-folk, Riders of Rohan, Dwarves of the Blue Mountain, the Elves of Lorien and Men of Gondor, a new Calling in the form of the Captain"

They're not "deleting" Bree, they just weren't able to put it into this particular supplement. Guys, they packed more into this supplement than I could have hoped for. Tharbad to Angmar...that's pretty ambitious.
Bree and Shire are probably big enough all on their own that they can get their own sourcebook.

Don't worry, we will cover Bree in the future! But it didn't fit into this supplement, either thematically (like the Barrow-downs does) or physically (it's packed already)!

It said a few, not a couple. So, don't kill that Woodman too soon.
Either way, I think his Woodman is not long for this world, Rich
Well he's wounded and unconscious at the moment, and he's the group's healer.

Wouldn't it be ironic if he was the only survivor though?

A TPK could be on the cards then... Will let you reboot with Rangers and High Elves!

Then we can go wreak havoc on Sauron's supply chain.
