I, therefore, in my best conscience selected 12 creations that I most prefer.

My Selection

#1 – Aenhir
Creator’s description:
“The Middle Earth hides several wonders of antiquity, one of which is the Golden Tower of Glorendel, built at the dawn of the Second Age as one of the most distant watchtowers the Noldor maintained in the Hithaeglir (the Misty Mountains), even before Elendil the Tall founded Arnor.
Since then, long years have passed and even the elves left and forgot this tower, which however was discovered by the river hobbits who settled Lyndelby, and preserved the tower as a tribute to the awe of beautiful people.
Even if today its upper levels are abandoned and empty, many mysteries and wonders of ancient wisdom still lie in the deepest foundations of Minas Glorendel.”
#2 – Cementarri
Creator’s description:
“I wish I had the ability to create something really out of this world but I’m just too grounded in the soil and in all things natural. Hoping this spot would be inviting to anyone wishing to while away a few hours listening to the soft ripple of the fountain while a gentle breeze caresses their cheek.”

“Gandalf and his 12 apostles.”
