Lothlórien
From MUME
'Lóthlorien, the hidden land between Celebrant and Anduin, where the
trees bore flowers of gold and no Orc or evil thing dared ever come.'
--- JRR Tolkien, Silmarillion.
The fair land of Lothlórien is a place of beauty and peace, no winter nor evil will make the great trees of Lorien wither. It is a place of ancient magic, long forgotten lore and great craftsmanship. Lórien remains from a world that is now long forgotten and that has passed away ages ago. Yet, it may not be easy to find the path through the protecting forest, if you are not of elvenkind yourself.
