For the Love of Fantasy
A build about what many of us love most about ESO: Fantasy.
Relevant & inspiring article by Neil Gaiman: "Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming"
Especially this excerpt:
We are all Prisoners in TES, escaping.
Tips for visitors:
PC/NA
Ald Velothi Harbor House
The custom-made stream at the entrance is among my favorite parts, though a little hard to capture in stills.
This secret hollow is better seen "in person"!

Relevant & inspiring article by Neil Gaiman: "Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming"
Especially this excerpt:
"Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you’ve never been. Once you’ve visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in. Discontent is a good thing: discontented people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different.
And while we’re on the subject, I’d like to say a few words about escapism. I hear the term bandied about as if it’s a bad thing. As if “escapist” fiction is a cheap opiate used by the muddled and the foolish and the deluded [...]
If you were trapped in an impossible situation, in an unpleasant place, with people who meant you ill, and someone offered you a temporary escape, why wouldn’t you take it? And escapist fiction is just that: fiction that opens a door, shows the sunlight outside, gives you a place to go where you are in control, are with people you want to be with (and books are real places, make no mistake about that); and more importantly, during your escape, books can also give you knowledge about the world and your predicament, give you weapons, give you armour: real things you can take back into your prison. Skills and knowledge and tools you can use to escape for real.
As JRR Tolkien reminded us, the only people who inveigh against escape are jailers."

We are all Prisoners in TES, escaping.
Tips for visitors:
- Crouch at the foot of the bed, face the door & in 1st person view look skyward
- In the bed, try /sleep
- A creature escaped the pages of a lorebook left unshelved. Can you find which?

✭✭✭✭✭You have a gateway to lands beyond the world you know. They will call to you, as you grow. There will never be a time when you forget them, when you are not, in your heart, questing after something you cannot have, something you cannot even properly imagine…
I don’t know how I missed this build when you first posted! I love your style (and influences)!
