Die Ära von Valenwood / L'ère Valenwood
This is a 14th. century French virelai written by Guillaume de Machaut 1300 – 1377
Falinesti
"Sprawling across both banks of the river stood the mighty graht-oak city,
with groves and orchards of lesser trees crowding it like supplicants before their king.
At a lesser scale, the tree that formed the moving city would have been extraordinary:
gnarled and twisted with a gorgeous crown of gold and green, dripping with vines and shining with sap."

And that music is both perfect to accompany that image, and truly wonderful simply for it's sounds...I believe I even heard a hurdy-gurdey being used for the backing!
Brlliant works, dear Claudia!
I have to admit that I love Oblivion the most from Bethesda games. It was written great, was well staged and was just fun.
The buildings are very nice. I like the forests very much. There are also wonderful mods and textures for it.
Many thanks to all modders.
Have a nice week. And thanks again.
