The White Downs in The Lord of the Rings Online

The White Downs, or simply The Downs[1], were a series of low hills once forming the Shire's western border, and later the boundary between its regions the Westfarthing and Westmarch.[2]

History[]

The White Downs was an initial border of the Shire when the lands were granted to the Hobbits by King Argeleb II of Arnor. In it were built the Hobbit towns of Little Delving and Michel Delving, which was the Shire's capital and largest town. Here, at the Free Fair held every seven years on Lithe, the Mayor of Michel Delving was elected.[3]

During the War of the Ring at the end of the Third Age, Sharkey's Men had turned Michel Delving into a prison, where many important Hobbits were held.[4] After the return of the King Aragorn II Elessar, the Shire was extended past the White Downs and the Far Downs beyond all the way to the Tower Hills, and the area beyond became known as the Westmarch.[2][5]
