Roe deer

Thriving on the scant grasses of south-central Eriador, the fiara (S. "hart") is the most common wild herbivore in Cardolan and Minhiriath. They keep to small groups of four or five does and a buck and range all over the region. Extremely timid, though, they shy away from settled areas and seem much rarer than their real numbers would dictate.

It is fortunate that these small beasts are prolific, for no creature in northwestern Endor is hunted as often as the fiara. Eriadoran hunters have long relied on the fiara as a food staple, and cooks from Bree to Tharbad create dozens of dishes using this tasty feer meat.
