The Willows of Nienna is a mystical sim enveloped in beautiful hues of amethyst and lapis lazuli built on a foundation of watery tears of hope. I found myself entranced by the sheer beauty of the build and totally captivated in the ambiance. There is a feeling of sadness and longing combined with a strong sense of lasting hope. I do believe if J.R.R. Tolkien envisioned a world for Nienna it would resemble the Willows of Nienna.
Nienna, whose name means “Weeping” or “She Who Weeps,” is acquainted with grief and sorrow. Those who listen to the Lady of Pity learn wisdom and endurance in grief. The reason I mention this is because of the last line in her literary description “But she does not weep for herself; and those who hearken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope,” is a suiting mirror of the hope that spurs us forward as we relay.
Kilik Lekvoda’s build captures the very essence of Nienna and has given us a glimpse into a tranquil garden that enriches the spirit. The build is so successful that one does not even have to know the backstory of Nienna to totally understand the concept.
Take a few moments today to sit by the waters on the Willows of Nienna. It is a great place to reminisce and allow your stresses fall into the turquoise waters of hope. We are not in a hurry, because the crown we are seeking is amaranthine, unfading.
The magnificent build hosts over 20 designers. Keep In mind that every linden spent using an official Fantasy Faire vendor in these stores, sends proceeds to the Relay for Life fund total. Together we will find the cure!
The event dates are April 19th – 29th, 2018. And, don’t forget to share the pictures you take in the official Fantasy Faire Flickr Group.
