THE WORLD FROM MY WINDOW: TOLKIEN IN TSL

"I spend almost all of my time at my home in Tolkien, Dun Grey Dawning," Aesop Thatch writes from Teen Second Life.  "The build is a rambling set of timber-framed buildings set into the side of a hill, and surrounded by a heavily forested area. I have friends that drop  by often, and many newcomers find the build and spend some time here, to find some peace in the world or to learn about it.  The build is idyllic, with paths running through the forests, soft piano music, and many little places for people to stop and just admire the view on a bench or rock."

And where in the world do you live?  Take a look at the entire Window series for inspiration, read the details for submitting to NWN's World From My Window series, then send me a screenshot or video link of your SL home or favorite haunt.

I find this very interesting. If I'm not mistaken, the Teen Grid is sort of a parallel world to the Main Grid. The layout and landscapes of the TG mirror those on the MG. But the region names are different. I have been able to deduce in the past that the Teen's Tolkien region is what we know as Rodeo on the Main. Thatch's build is, "a rambling set of timber-framed buildings set into the side of a hill, and surrounded by a heavily forested area." The Teen's Tolkien region and the Main's Rodeo region seem to have both developed into a heavily forested area.

You're exactly right, Salazar. I'm good friends with Aesop, and a group of us own several thousdand meters of land in Tolkien. I saw images of Rodeo on Snapzilla and was absolutely in love. Aesop allowed me to do a lot of the landscaping and planting on Dun Grey Dawning, so I forested it like Rodeo.

Also, the trees help block out the god-awful mall behind the hill. GOD-AWFUL.

Thanks for the info, Dolus. I'd love to know more about what you folks are doing and about Dun Grey Dawning. My family and I are responsible for the Forest of Kahruvel in the Rodeo region. Check out what we are up to at (http://homepage.mac.com/salazarjack/default.html). It's so cool to see these bits and pieces about a similar world that exists alongside the one I'm in, and mysterious since there is no direct communication between the two.

Wow, Dolus, if you'd told me that I wouldn't have been as set against some of the changes you wanted to make. BTW, when do I get my waterfall? ^^

Salazar- Yes, one of the reasons I wanted to live in Tolkien was because I've had the opportunity to view your builds with my sister, an MG resident.
