Story:
I started building this place in my mind shortly after my best friend left this game back in early 2019 to start her new life. It was also one of the few reasons I wanted to start over in this game. Why? Simply because I love that particular garden and I simply couldn't destroy my previous garden, Gardens of Time - Shali's Garden. Too many memories I build there with so many of you, but it is the place that also bought me the best memories from my life! The place which inspired me to start decorating in the first place. The place which helped me made so many friends. And the place where I met my best friend Shallein. And to this date I will never forget those days when I used to woke up and she was waiting for me there in offline mode, waiting to take me in a new adventure, or furnish together, or talk, or just cheer me up, surprising me every day with something new. Those were the best days of my life.

One other reason for starting over was that I grew tired of raiding and drama of all sorts. But more than everything I wanted to be alone. I only wanted that one friend I could talk to and play with, without anyone else intervening. And I wish I started earlier. Maybe you wouldn't had pushed us out of this game now. When two friends come to raid together in your team, by all means please let them play together! Don't jump in between them! This is why she gave me this new name and we moved on on another server and when that didn't worked out and she left this game I decided to start all over again. That didn't worked too well either. But I'm not upset. I learned some really hard and precious lessons and it couldn't have been possible without you. Thank you everyone who was a part of this.

I worked on this place alone for almost a year now. My best friend said that her garden I made for her was perfect so I wanted to build a better one! But truth be told no matter how much I try I simply can't surpass myself and certainly I can't build a better garden without her presence here. And then I want her gardens to be better than mine. Even through she is always present in my mind wherever I go, I really feel her absence sometimes. When I heard the sad news that she got sick earlier this year I couldn't continue decorating. I just couldn't. I wish it was me but not her! I was never same ever since so I'm truly sorry If I upset some of you. I'm sure you understand.

Khajiit Village 100500 - I promised you once I will build you a khajiit town but I feel I never deliver that promise yet. Yours was a bit disconnected from the rest of the garden so I wanted to make it a bit better, with tents on the side of the cliff, on top of the plateau, up in the trees and all over the place in general. Its still not perfect but it is a start into that direction. Maybe one thousand years later and after one thousand versions of it I will get it right but until them this is only a small sketch of it. It feels so empty without you!

Note:
Please keep in mind that this place isn't finished and it will never be for a very long time. Normaly I wouldn't rush to finish things and upload but these are special circumstances. It is hard to decorate without ESO Plus. It is hard with the current item cap, which I already reached months ago. But without my friends here it is too much for me. My curent plan was to finish the airship and then try to animate it and make it fly around the place. Unfortunely I cannot do this alone. I need time, inspiration and a bit of help. So feel free to contact me about that. Then ofc I wanted to add a bit more details. I wanted to add few more lights in those two giant trees and eventually build a third one if the item cap would permit in the nearby future. Only time know the answer to that question.
Also lately I wasn't feeling to well and I just wanted to give you this small memory from me. I know I upset many but I also know I was an inspiration for even more. If I was wrong towards you forgive me and If you were wrong towards me know that I forgived you already.

Special Thanks: Project Trials - I could not have reach that far without you guys. It was a pleasure meeting and raiding with you. Thank you for your understanding and patience. I will always miss you.

To my best friend Shallein: Be strong and come back soon! I feel your absence so much and nothing is same without you here. I wanted you to know that you are important to me and that I never meant for any of this to happen. I saw my friend happy so I was happy with her. I saw my friend sad so I was sad with her. I saw my friend sick so I was crying with her. Nothing wrong with that. I only wanted to cheer you up like you always used to and if I ever did something wrong please let me know and forgive me. I'm worried for you so write me soon! Okay?...

Wait a second, I remember the last time you posted....should have changed your forum name too. I'm getting the heck out of this topic! ziiing

This is a very pretty looking village, and it was ideal to film at night, as I think the combination of the orange/rust from the Khjiiit tents and the candles looks warm and inviting. Clever to use the stepping stones in your walkways, for they blend into the environment seamlessly, less disruptive to the feel than straw or bamboo walkways. Nicely done!

It is a shame you were so limited, as a few more cats around and some furnishings in the tents would have made it feel more lived in. But, for the slot limit you worked with, you did a great job.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks too. I plan to make few more movies during other times of the day from this garden in the nearby future. Feel free to get inspired and improve this place if you have some ideas. Then share that back with me.

I plan to finish that airship one day. But the amount of items required and lack of ideas is a huge step back for me right now.
I also wanted to add a lot of lights up there in the tree crowns. In the initial strech I used to add tents up there too.
And I have to think whats going on there because the item limit seems to be really low! Must be the 30+ tents and 30+ candles alone. Or the amount of items used for each of the giant trees, or flying isles, or the cliffs.

I love decorating but the item limit is a huge step back for so many of us. Also the fact we can only have one instance of the house also affect things because if you want to make something new you either have to delete your old house or move over to a new account or server.

I was also thinking to split the whole garden in two parts. The ground level and then deny building up details up top. And then the upper level and reduce the amount of details on the ground level.
