#lotro housing

[rannadylin]

Welcome to Wendelind's!

So I splurged and bought a Lyndelby house on LOTRO...and I ended up getting the Stately Deluxe because I was just kind of non-committally visiting the neighborhood and thinking about eventually getting one for Wendelind, my River Hobbit, until I saw the secret underground waterfalls in the basement of that one and then it was a NOW! BUY NOW! MUST HAVE INDOOR FISHING! situation... :-D

I've been decorating it for the past week (goodness that takes a while, even with all the housing decorations saved up in my storage it took a concerted effort of parking alts at the housing furnishers in the various regions to ship Wendy the floor tiles and wall paints and things that she needed...) and it's about ready for visitors! So...Welcome to Wendy's! (I feel like I need to insert a 🍔 here for...some reason... XD)

Lots of (lovely!) pics are going behind the cut, click to take the full tour of 2 Glenmouth Path, Lywel, Lyndelby Homesteads on Evernight. :-D

A convenient place for visitors to hitch their steeds, featuring Lennidhren's Rivendell horse on the left, Cerphedis' Sporting Steed on the right, a couple others that just looked cool in between, and Corbous' Mathom pony snacking on the hay.

Statues lining the path to the house. Not sure if I'll keep them there; the elf statues seem a little out of place in Lyndelby, but I had them from an expansion pack and hadn't found anywhere else to put them yet so we're trying them at Wendy's.

In the decorating process I found out that you can take pet skills! And make them into housing decorations! Either with mithril coins or with a pet harness from the Curator, and WHAT LUCK! The Curator was in town. So Willem Whiskers and his cub are visiting, and frolicking near Wendy's grape vines. Wendelind, who, as a River Hobbit, is currently questing in Cardolan, doesn't even know who Bingo Boffin is; so I suppose the lynx friends came to visit with Lennidhren!

She may be tall for a Hobbit, but it's still hard for this wee lady to see over the grapevines, so she has a very out-of-place Arnorian dais and bench to give her a slightly better view of the gorgeous landscape beyond her yard.

Just inside the house, she has a cozy reading room with a window seat, stack of well-loved books, and raspberries! The window seats were the second selling-point of this house, other than the waterfalls. Window seats, Waterfalls, and Wendelind. It must be the alliteration.

Candaith is another NPC that Wendy hasn't even met yet; nevertheless her house features a small Grey Company shrine. Gotta plan ahead for when she gets to those levels, after all!

The dining room is almost ready for visitors! Lunch is currently roasting on the fire pit. Tallfolk visiting will fit better at this table than Wendy does, though...

A couple of bedrooms! I think the first is the master bedroom and the second is the guest bedroom...

This little closet...might be haunted?

Some mementos of...places Wendy hasn't even been to yet. XD I suppose Lennidhren may have set up this room!

And last but very far from least is the underground waterfall swimming/fishing room!

Thank you for joining us on this tour of Wendelind's Wee Warren. Dinner is at 1, but if you are early enough for second breakfast...wait, this isn't the Shire. Do they have second breakfast in Lyndelby? Well, if they don't, Corbous probably (enthusiastically) introduced her to the tradition anyway!

Okay, one more LotRO Harvest Festival poll to close out the season:

We took a kin wide photo! Not everyone is here (they'll be photoshopped in), but this is 45 (!!!) people, the most I've seen on in my 2 years of being part of Second Breakfast ☺️ this was wonderful to be a part of

The Houses of Lore have got to be the creepiest place to work in Minas Tirith.

Evidence:

Random statues and stuffed carcasses of terrifying animals.

"You know what would make a great exhibit? A skeleton in a throne!"

"That's a great idea!"

The war banners make sense for a museum(?), but the spider? How did you do that and WHY did you do that??

This is genuinely beautiful. Except the guy randomly dumping a jug full of water at passersby.

W H Y ? ? ?

Why is this alchemic lab just. right there in an open room? And is the skull necessary?

This is a horrible angle for the statue.

being a High Elf on the last quest of the Before The Shadow epic questline is very funny to me

Elrond: "Speak, then, of how you came to this place of safety: Rivendell, the Last Homely House East of the Sea."

Imryth: I live here, Elrond. I have literally been sleeping in your guest room for three thousand years

Welcome to Frostbluff. Home of the annual Yule Festival.

YULE. A winter's festival of feasting and great merriment, of gift-giving and bonding. As turns the new year, the season proclaims that all is not lost, even in the times of Death and Shadow. It is a joyous midwinter celebration observed far from my home in the woodlands, to the west where dwell the great peoples of Eriador.

Well I'm going to take this as an indication that they're actually trying to fix the mannequins
