Langen Esturi Nilme Iondu'il, Dreamweaver of Fayrin's Rest, an Elven Bard (Pronunciation: NILL-mee EE-un-duel)

Appearance

Nilme, Circle 153- 448 AV (2/3/2024)

You have an oval face with delicate features, slightly pointed ears and sparkling violet eyes.  Your silver-streaked black hair is very long and silky, and is worn loose.  You have dew-kissed skin and a delicate branch of rosebuds tinged in the diluted hues of a sunrise augmenting a gracefully slender figure.

An intricate shadow emerald lotus rests on your forehead, just above your eyes.

Your left ankle has a tattoo of a school of silver-flecked violet dancerfish swimming through a rippling musical staff.

You are wearing a silversteel pendant centered with a sparkling heartstone, a brushed silver locket, a dramatic onyx shadesatin gown with a tumultuous windstorm gossamer skirt, a translucent loveglass band set with a heartstone half note and some stormy grey slippers laced with windstorm gossamer ribbons.

Nilme and Useff, as painted by Eruwyn- 439 AV (September 16, 2021)

The textured sheet of drawing paper is drawn with: Painted in vivid colors are a pair of Elves linked by their subtlety held hands as they stand before a grand brick fireplace. The woman on the right has a delicately curved oval face with sparkling violet eyes and hair reminiscent of a meteor shower during a moonless night. Touches of silver foil are added to the strands to create a shimmering effect. Her svelte figure is displayed appealingly by a corseted alabaster gown. The man on the left has humor-filled, mismatched eyes, one gold and the other hazel. His hair is painstakingly plaited into countless beaded braids that peek out from under his charmingly tilted bowler hat. Dressed as if to contrast the female, he wears a loose shirt and pants a few shades darker than his skin. Noted at their feet in silvery script are the words, "Starfall Dinner."

Nilme, as painted by Eruwyn- 434 AV (May 26, 2020)

The sheet of opaque paper is drawn with: Perched at the edge of a seat is an Elven woman, her toes tucked against the cross bars of her seat. She leans forward, her expression intense, though whatever she is watching is not in the picture. Her eyes are inked with silver and enhanced with touches of foil to give them a shimmer when the light crosses them. Lips, the lower larger to give her a faint pout, are tinged pink and are slightly parted. Hair of silver-streaked black is arranged in a smooth braid that falls down her back, contrasting against the deep emerald of her gown. Her lithe figure, though motionless, seems at the edge of movement, perhaps toward whatever her gaze is set upon. Artful use of shading hints at a certain grace to the curves of her form, while the curl of her fingers draws attention to callouses there. Tucked into the lower corner is an "E" and the date, 434 years, 261 days.

Nilme, Circle 33 (2005)

Nilme has pouting lips, pointed ears and thick-lashed silver eyes. Her silver-streaked black hair is very long and thick, and is worn loose. She has pale skin. She is very young for an Elf. Nilme is wearing a black leather arm quiver with silver clasps, a black leather cloak trimmed in silver, a Bardic Spirit Knot hair-clasp, a delicate ivory collar with a dangling pink heart, an ivory silk blouse with delicate embroidery, a slender silver bracelet set with dark red ruby teardrops, a woven silver hip chain adorned with polished amber beads, some flowing ivory silk pants tied at the waist with pink lace, a black suede garter with narrow silver buckles, some black thigh boots, a sturdy silver backpack, a clear blue albredine ring, an albredine crystal ring, a bronze jadeite gwethdesuan and a platinum kyanite gwethdesuan.

Nilme, as a Young Bard, abt. Circle 6- 372 AV (June 6, 2003)

Nilme had silver eyes and long, thick, blue-black hair which she wore in an intricate Elven braid. She typically wore some Bardic Spirit Knot earrings, a light cinnamon cloak, a crimson brocade instrument case hung from a strap of woven silk cords, a snug moss green dress, an aqua glass ocarina-shaped bracelet, and some beaded sapphire velvet slippers.

About

Interests

Nilme, also known as Nilly Mae, Guild Mom, or Nilmeeeeeee, strives to be kind and is easily amused, generous, insecure, forgetful, and directionally challenged. She tries to focus on gratitude and keeping a positive attitude. Nilme spends her days with the love of her life, Useff Budna. They travel frequently and enjoy exploring and finding adventures. When she is composing and performing through song, story, and acting, she is truly in her element. She is a current member, and on the council of, the Tavern Troupe Performing Order, is the council chair and a member of The Arthe Repertory Team (TART), and is frequently commissioned to write original songs specific to a person or event. She was an original member of the Theren Theatre Players, which has since been irreversibly changed, prompting her decision to disassociate herself from the group. She loves participating in the always-fun Tavern Troupe events, is thrilled that the arts are extending through the Realms, and is excited when she has the opportunity to perform on stage. Daerlynn Soulmyste resurrected The Arthe Dale Concert and Performing Series in 439 AV. After Daerlynn went on hiatus, Nilme took on the responsibility for arranging and hosting the event. It is one of Nilme's great joys and a tradition she is very proud to be continuing. Helping those who are new or returning to the guild, is one of her passions. She believes very strongly in the importance of those established in the guild taking the time to welcome new bards, encouraging them, and letting them know they are vital members of a widespread, yet closely-knit family.

Pets

Jarrod

Jarrod is named after our favorite Bowyer. She is a lop-eared chestnut puppy, a large-pawed youngster that combines an oversized head with a short body. Her fur is a glossy red shade, slightly wavy, that lies close to her skin along the body, longer along the ears and tail. A white bib marks her chest, bright against the deep chestnut of the rest of her coat.

Snowball

Snowball (Snowbie) is a long-haired pure white cat who looks more like a fluffy pure white ball than a real animal. He has a slim feline head and large slitted eyes that reflect light. With a bottle-brush tail and a solid-colored body, he holds a rather regal bearing, as if knowing who is really in charge of the household.

Eshret

Eshret, which means 'Comfort' in Ilithic, is a rose-beige Rissan cat, known to be lithe, hard and muscular. She is colorful, with a distinctly ticked coat, medium in size and regal in appearance. Her eyes are almond-shaped, large, brilliant, and expressive.

Beebee

Beebee is a blue-eyed ebony kitten (Tier 3) who was gifted by Hoshii and Wintidal.

Jewelry

a translucent loveglass band set with a heartstone half note (Gift from Useff Budna to match the one I gave him.) Five slender rings of polished loveglass are bonded together to form an infinite, circular music staff, inlaid with a sparkling melody of tiny diamond eighth notes. A stunning heartstone half note rests over center staff, the radiant gem a counterpoint to the brightly-hued metal that gleams like expertly blown glass. A stylized 'N' nestled within the arms of a 'U' is delicately carved in intaglio relief on the surface of the stone. There appears to be something written on it: "To my sweet, bard girl - yours forever, Useff." A silversteel pendant centered with a sparkling heartstone (Gift from Useff Budna) Covered in tiny diamonds, a diminutive "U" and "N" are bonded together between a stunning heartstone, the symbolic duet reflecting their combined light in all directions. The letters are fused at the waist, giving the impression that they are holding hands, while the stone appears to float above. Engravings in tiny script adorn the back. There appears to be something written on it: "To my Dazzling Duet partner -- all my love, Useff"

Perfume

Stargazer Nights, From Scentsations (a fluted perfume bottle engraved with stargazer lilies) The heady scent of stargazer lilies fills your nose with an almost overwhelming aroma. Subtle hints of sandalwood cut through the flowery perfume to soften its intensity. Desert Night Perfume, by Perfumer Uramih, of Muspar'i (a black quartz bottle) You smell like a sultry night with a hint of spiced wine. You smell like a velvety night embracing sweet promises and the scent of blooming jasmine. You smell like a star-swept night filled with the hot passion of.... hey! Are you old enough for this? An opalescent glass perfume bottle engraved with delicate jasmine petals, from The Parfumerie The sensual scent of delicate jasmine petals blended with sweet roses fills your nose. Hints of sandalwood and leather oil add a smoky touch to the hedonistic aroma.

Instruments

Strings An e'erdream lap harp in the shape of a wren with a single outstretched wing, (Designed by Kaedan) The body of the wren emerges from the base of the resonator as if taking flight, its head pointing straight up towards the heavens. One of the wren's wings is folded tightly against its body, while the other stretches to the top of the harp's resonator, forming the other arm of the well-crafted instrument. An image of an e'erdream tree, its lacy foliage and flowers spilling across the surface of the finely grained wood, has been inlaid in Elven silver into the resonator's surface. An elegant sana'ati khurmary depicting the singers of the Ru'atin Peri'el This modest harp, 'Breath's Journey,' is favored by the Ru'atin Peri'el. Detailed in high-relief carving upon the curved neck, two women are portrayed mid-song. A lustrous nacre of tiny music notes and shar'nath blossoms, arranged as if floating on an unseen musical staff, drift down the slender body to the image of a woman singing over a sleeping dragon. Crescentic scales of kertig, draconic opal, and diacan scintillate with iridescence on the slumbering creature. There appears to be something written on it. "Aiding Peri'el as she sings to the World Dragon". Woodwinds A luminous silvery flute engraved with spiraling songbirds From the meticulously polished embouchure to the platinum open-hole keys, fine details are evident in the artistry of the instrument. Swirling around the keys, a series of wrens and nightingales have been carefully engraved, subtly accentuating the flute's extraordinary craftsmanship. An Elven silver piccolo with rose gold keys Hints of rose, red, and orange overlay each key complementing the lustrous silver barrel. Percussion A black ironwood tapani inlaid with ivory knotwork chains The tapani is a double-sided drum formed of a circle of polished black ironwood stretched across with two pieces of hide. The hide is laced in place with lengths of stiffly braided blue and ivory white cord. Running parallel down the middle of the tapani is a single chain of elaborate knotwork fashioned from slivers of ivory inlay.

Drinks

Blosu Lorel Wine: (Elves) Highly impressive! The delicate mix of flavors is subtle and crisp, bringing ecstasy to your lips and tongue. The work of a professional Elven winemaker. Talan Sathra Wine: Unbelievable! The scent is ever so delicate, like a fresh spring day. It has an intensely rich flavor, yet not overwhelming, with just a hint of sweetness. A true masterpiece. Blackberry Stout: Quite sweet and delicious! Bardic Blue Wine: Mellow and fragrant bouquet

Weapons, Armor, and Shields

Large Edge A silversteel longsword embellished with knotwork and the Bard guild crest The fatally-sharp blade stretches out from the curved crossguard that houses a stylized mistglass treble clef among raised Elven silver knotwork. Below the handle's songsilk-wrapped, leather grip shows indentations from frequent use. Counterbalancing the lengthy blade is a disk-shaped pommel inset with a shield-shaped medallion enameled with the image of a wren perched upon a fisted gauntlet over a lute of gold. Encircling the medallion an engraving reads "Here comes Treble." Small Edge/Staff An uthamar-bladed dreamweave fan dangling scattered star charms. The thin starlight white metal blades are well honed to a sparkling razor-sharp edge. Ranged a Nisha Shortbow ('Useff, the Canon Dux', from Dreamheart's Legends of Elanthia Collection, received as a gift) This Mistwood Nisha is finished to a soft sheen. Delicate accents of jade, traced by minute silvery strains, meander the length of the limbs, expressing their own visual counterpoint. It is named for Useff Budna, a born leader of a bard; who also knew when it was wise to follow. He was extraordinary in combat and a fiercely loyal friend. 37 Nissa 436 Shield A violet-washed shield inlaid with silversteel and mistglass wrens ( Designed by Kaedan Nethrel) A chime of ghostly mistglass wrens is cunningly inset within the deep violet surface of the shield. Their wings outstretched, the wrens take flight as if startled by a sudden noise. The central boss of the shield is a clenched gauntlet wrought of Elven silver, which has been placed above a lute of gold. A single silversteel wren, eyes focused outward, perches proudly on the gauntlet, seemingly unafraid of that which has scattered its comrades.

Quotes

"The meteor of a poem is how hard it smacks you in the face." -Useff Budna Kaedan says, "I replaced the chairs with thrones."" Kaedan says, "Goes well with my breathtaking arrogance." "It's a large world, Iondu'il." -Shavay Silvamon "Blind Squirrels!" (Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.) -Nilme's Da Kaedan says, "If you irked me, I would want to fight you."
