That doesn't necessarily mean much. Erebor managed to include two new Heroic Cultures and covered a fairly wide area despite it's short page-count. However, that doesn't bode well for Lindon and the Gulf of Lune. I expect this book to include both Heroic Cultures, Dwarves of the Blue Mountains and Men of Bree, from the Adventurer's Companion. That means the region of the Blue Mountains is likely to be included as well, with the Notable Locations: Halls of the Dwarves; Mines of the Dwarves. I might also expect to see the Halls of Thorin Oakenshield covered if they are distinct from the previously mentioned Halls of the Dwarves.

Much of Western Eriador is either unpopulated or sparsely populated, leaving only a handful of Notable Locations and Persons to describe--especially if the Bree book leaves out The Shire. Besides those already mentioned above, I can come up with: Mithlond (the Grey Havens); the White Towers; Annúminas; the Old Forest; Eryn Vorn; and the ruins of Lond Daer. I do fear that we might not get Elves of the Grey Havens as an Heroic Culture.

Thanks, timb, though I wish we had a little more to go on.

It's waiting for C7 now, since that info is only to be taken with a pinch of salt until then :)

Assuming that the design team want feedback on the Bree sourcebook in time to incorporate some of it into the print version, the book must become available for pre-order fairly soon, yes?
