| - Deephallow was a village near the Shire's southeastern border, built on the banks of the River Brandywine. Deephallow lay on a road that connected it to the nearby towns of Rushey and Willowbottom. The Shirebourn river and Overbourn marshes lay about one mile south of the village.
- Southernmost of the Riverman settlements in the Marish,Deephallow is run by Thuidimer Stormroarer , the "strongest and greatest warrior in this reach". He is also , sadly , a smuggler and a great bully . Thuidimer lives on a dry hill rising from the marshes, a mile north of the mouth of the Shirebourne , in an old Arthadan estate house built centuries ago for no reason anyone has been able to discern . The building's name , Deephallow House , suggests that some sort of religious or magical purpose lay behind its construction , but only the manor's stones know the truth . Thuidimer speaks to the house occasionally , a habit that startles his family and servants , but noone beside the master of the house ever hears it answer. From Deephallow , Thuidimer runs honest trade from Sarn Ford to the Twilight Hills , while selling banned herbs in Rood and banned weapons to the Pendle and Durkin clans to the west . Prince Minastir , who declared weapon bans in the Southfarthing to prevent tensions between Man and Hobbit from turning into massacres , has only begun to seriously investigate matters in Flynettle . The task is difficult ; Thuidimer is cunning and his Riverman henchmen fiercely loyal . Most of Thuidimer' clan, the Ottertail , live in raised huts that flood out every spring . Slightly farther up the Shirebourne , the ground is marginally less boggy and Stoors have settled in . The Ottertail resent this , because they have long been prevented from moving up the "Elf Stream " by the Siranna Lord Sularin . The Elves seldom appear along the river anymore , and Rivermen fear of the misdwindling. Sooner or later , the Ottertail may take what they think is their due .
