Nilme, by Others

Artwork

Nilme and Useff at the Starfall Dinner, 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, Performing at a Song Circle, 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.

A Song for Nilme, by her Mother, Bardess Achrennight Filanti  

Sung at Achrennight's Concert as part of the Arthe Dale Concert Series, 375 AV (March 27, 2004)

You see Achrennight Filanti of Therengia, an Elf.

She has pointed ears and jade eyes. Her black hair is very long and thick, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over her shoulders. She has rosy skin. She is young for an Elf.

She is wearing a tall pewter tankard, an open front-laced white silk shirt, a delicate ivory collar with a dangling pink heart, a shadowy black silk handfasting cord adorned with ebony beads carved to resemble a pair of sleek wolves, a wooden arrow pendant engraved with a howling wolf, a willow backpack, a tiny nightingale charm, an enticing gypsy skirt of gold and crimson gauze over black gossamer, a beaded crimson silk corset with tightly drawn ivory laces, a pale green spidersilk pouch pinned with a golden phoenix charm, a supple black leather flute pouch, a velvet-lined crimson sack embroidered with a fiery phoenix, a soft gold suede garter with a ruby phoenix buckle, a delicate twisted gold hip-chain, a low-slung leather hip belt, a crimson brocade cloak trimmed with plush white ermine, a lacquered scarlet instrument case painted with golden wrens, a flute-shaped ivory hairpin and some sleek red leather thigh boots laced up the back with steelsilk laces.

Achrennight says, "Well, while I figure out which fun song to sing, I might as well sing a song written about my daughter Nilme. I really should get around to titling this song.. but here it is. A song for Nilme"

Achrennight quietly sings in a mezzo-soprano voice:

"She was sitting in the guild, quiet and forlorn.
I sat down, smiled and asked her tale.
A tale of sorrow she did weave, like I've heard before,
But only in the ballads from the days of yore."

Achrennight sadly sings in a mezzo-soprano voice:

"And in her eyes, I saw hope,
That chased away her fears.
Her song, taken from her heart,
And all her tender years."

Achrennight longingly sings in a mezzo-soprano voice:

"For all her years, she'd been through much.
It made my heart ache and yearn,
To give her something to smile for,
Just like in the ballads from days of yore."

Achrennight wistfully sings in a mezzo-soprano voice:

"And in her eyes, I saw fears,
That brought back memories old.
Her song, I had taken to heart,
And it made me grow bold."

Achrennight tenderly sings in a mezzo-soprano voice:

"I offered her a place in my family,
A place in my heart and soul.
She smiled and is alone no more,
Her song became a ballad of days of yore."

Achrennight lovingly sings in a mezzo-soprano voice:

"And in her eyes, I see love,
That chased away her strife.
In her I feel naught but pride,
That will last me all my life."

Achrennight gazes down at the floor.
Achrennight blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue.
Achrennight says, "I just wish I had half her talent in writing songs as she"
