Holding vigil for our beloved Lvl 1 😭

Despite these (temporary) changes, Furtherholm has become a place of sweet memory and relaxation, and I can honestly say it was so much fun celebrating Midsummer this year because of it. Thank you, #lotrodevs , for such a wonderful beach vacation for our heroes. Until next year!

With the festival goers leaving, the cats weren’t far behind. Some say they swam across the sea in search of treats. Others say that they were so talented at food collection that a Hobbit snuck them to the Shire in preparation for the upcoming Farmer’s Faire to beg for bigger, better snacks.

Of course, not all tourists have left the island. This poor woman - once given a picnic - has been waiting weeks for the return of her beloved after he went to go get some milk and pipe weed.

Now that the swimming area is empty, the best “pool” spot can now be enjoyed without the threat of being slapped by a fishing line, poked by a kite, or chased by a fleeing seagull.

The chef is gone, now forced to forage for his own lemons and herbs now that all the festival goers have left.

This poor soul is sitting on the counter unsure of whether he’s a patron or a new hire since the desk clerk seems to have gone missing.

Someone stole the beds. Guests must now sleep on the floor until management can find replacements.
