A village of gold prospectors, the village is well known for its hospitable nature. The Old Hare is an inn of great reputation in the Mir district .
Dudley is little more than a hamlet, and effectively comes under the jurisdiction of Doromir. Although Lord Azeroth (and later Lord Darkmoon) are responsible for the land, and collect the rents, the hamlet is usually run by the Dudley family . Grin Dudley, a successful entrepreneur, founded The Old Hare inn over fifty years ago, and made a small fortune with the local miners. Since then, a small village has grown around it.
Dudley produces very little, and is rarely visited by outsiders. Dudley’s Ale, a clear golden beverage, is popular, though, and the wizard Morandor regularly imports it. The local blacksmith makes a tidy profit selling tools to the miners, and the local healer is often sought out by injured workmen.
Despite its small size, Dudley is quite a wealthy little town; four tin mines and one gold mine are located in the foothills of the mountains, less than a few miles from Dudley, and thirsty and hungry miners often pay well. Gold and tin pass through the village in abundance. The nearest mine, the goldmine known as Shankie’s, ensures that a reasonable amount of wealth flows through the town, and Dudley and Marka have been able to up their prices significantly. Of course, the rulers of Doromir ensure that the rent is increased in proportion to the wealth.
