Scenic Tour: Vale of Anduin

I've recently started a little Beorning and so far I'm finding it an interesting class but it doesn't feel fully developed. The starting area was the same. The Vale of Anduin is a pretty little glen but the village seems practically deserted and the introductory experience was so short that you don't really get to find out what it means to be a Beorning. You get sent on your way to Archet and instead of giving you quests to level up and learn your class and history, you're just automatically made level 5 - what a shortcut!

Who lives here? What are other Beorning like?

Sigh. Home alone.
