Yao : Thanks for reminding me that I still don't have, and still need those Orthanc items... :p

Audience Average: 6.53 - Jury Average: 7.75 - Overall Score: 7.02


Khelsi: I love this creation, the scene is immediately recognizable and feels very alive and dynamic with the wraiths and the fog.
This is technically simple but the reference and ambience are immaculate.

Yao: That one makes me smile, but also ruined my nights! Perfect recreation of that famous LOTR scene!

Audience Average: 6.55 - Jury Average: 8.125 - Overall Score: 7.18


Nago: I really like this idea—it’s both original and well executed. Congratulations!

Yao: This kind of setup that goes beyond the game is always a treat. The room is perfectly designed. Do you know when the next screening is?

Audience Average: 6.41 - Jury Average: 8.5 - Overall Score: 7.25


Nago: I absolutely love this cozy little terrace with its beautiful view!

Khelsi: This porch is so well put together that at first you don't question the architecture of the place, and then you realize there is no such building in any neighborhood.
This is incredibly cozy and inviting, and very much makes me want to read a book while watching the sunset.
I wouldn't change a thing. When can I move in?

Scenario: Avatar's entry gives mediteranean villa vibes - using structures to frame the views of the Lyndelby valley beyond. I can imagine myself sitting out there, reading, sipping tea and feeling like I am a part of nature from the comfort of home.

Yao: People often say there aren't enough windows in LOTRO's housing system. Apparently, Avatar has the solution! The layout is perfect, the view is stunning—is it available for rent on Booking? :p

Audience Average: 6.94 - Jury Average: 8.25 - Overall Score: 7.46


Scenario (LotRO Lead World Builder and Housing Master) :

  • Alessy's layout is a great self contained diarama, built at a size most other submissions stayed far away from. It tells a story within its own little world. It's very reminiscent of a space like the South-Gard Ruins and could fit right in there as a remnant of old Cardolan.
  • Avatar's entry gives mediteranean villa vibes - using structures to frame the views of the Lyndelby valley beyond. I can imagine myself sitting out there, reading, sipping tea and feeling like I am a part of nature from the comfort of home.
  • Chamilia's garden scene is the epitome of a design that absolutely screams to be turned into a single decoration item. It's composition is beautiful and it's something that I could see many home-owner's wanting to have for themselves.
  • Much like Avatar's submission, Donnabella's evokes a cozy and luxurious guest space that I would be loath to leave. It's got a great balance of decor density, arrangement and lighting. It looks full and cohesive but not cluttered.
  • Fluw's Hello Kitty just brought a smile to my face. It's an adorable use of decorations that brings a crossover I don't think anyone ever expected.

My Choice - Donnabella
This was a tough decision between Donnabella and Chamilia - but the comfortable setting and thoughtful balancing of decorations and lighting in the space make their submission the victor!


Here are the rewards:

  • First place (Avatar): 1500 LotRO Points + Sleeping Grey Cat
  • 2nd place (Falvi): 1000 LotRO Points + Sleeping Grey Cat
  • 3rd place (Tweedia): 500 LotRO Points + Sleeping Grey Cat
  • 4th place (Aenhir): 500 LotRO Points + Sleeping Grey Cat
  • Scenario’s Choice (Donnabella): 500 LotRO Points 
  • 5th to 10th places (in that order: Donnabella, Alessy, Fluw, Cira, Izabeaux, TheUndying): Sleeping Grey Cat

You'll received your rewards later today or tomorrow (don't forget to check your emails).


Many thanks to all, congratulations to the winners, and see you soon for new D&Co's adventures!
