Like all gardens, the Realm of Estë is quiet at this time of the year. It is only natural, for winter is a time of quiet reflection and slumbering.
A few visitors still pop in to add their greetings to the birthday thread or to join the old trees that linger about the Moonlit Lounge.
Deeper in the woods of the ‘Realm Activities’ the old oaks of ‘Quiz Mania’, ‘The Healing Garden’ and the ‘Misty Mountain Project’ lie dormant, waiting silently for the sun’s first rays to lift winter’s chill.
A small group of squirrels are seen busy gathering nuts from their winter store to share with something known as the ‘Council Courier’.
Now and then there’s a rustle in the bare branches of the ‘I Predict’ game or a flurry in the ‘Dream Analysis’ bush, but then quietness falls and the Realm goes back to sleep.
Yet all is not as peaceful as it seems, for beneath the soil new life is waiting to spring forth. Rumours of new leaders and a Realm website hold a tantalising promise for the Spring.
With Eru’s blessing it is hoped new shoots will grow and blossoms will open once again and shine forth, heralding the awakening of the Realm of Estë.

One response to “About the Realm of Estë”
Congratulations on a most uplifting newsletter from a former realm inhabitant!
I must confess, I miss Este’s Gardens!
I am busy exploring the stars, and working on some poetry in the Realm of Varda!
Next month will be our newsletter chance!
Hugs!
