One evening after much journeying a traveller from far countries came, as the lights were being kindled in many a window, to the summit of a hill amidst the houses of a goodly hamlet. At that time the desire of new sights is least, and even the thoughts of a wayfarer turn rather to supper and to rest and the telling of tales before the time of bed and sleep is come. And so the traveller thought, "The hour of rest is at hand, and though I know not even the name of this fair seeming town upon a little hill here I will seek rest and lodging and go no further til tomorrow, nor go even then perchance, for its breezes have a good savour. To me it has the air of holding many secrets of old and wonderful and beautiful things in its treasuries and noble places and in the hearts of those who dwell within its walls."

Stepping as if by chance, he turned aside down a winding lane, till, a little down the slope, his eye was arrested by a dwelling whose many windows shone forth with a most warm and delicious light, as of hearts content within. Then his heart yearned for kind company and impelled by a great longing he turned aside at this cottage door. At his knock the door was opened in welcome and at his inquiry it was told to him that this house was called Mar Vanwa Tyalieva or the Cottage of Lost Play.

This is Mar Vanwa Tyalieva where the tale fire always burns brightly and all are welcome to partake of music and refreshment, solace and fellowship. We are a small kinship which prioritizes immersion into the world of Middle-earth and creating a friendly, home-like environment. We pursue a variety of activities, including role-playing, exploration, music and performance, crafting, housing and generally striving to be a force for good in the game world.

We actively seek to create alliances and friendships with other kinships and individual players on Ithil. Join our band, get involved in our RP efforts or star in one of our plays regardless of your kinship or lack thereof.

MVT takes its inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien's earliest writings found in the Book of Lost Tales volume 1.
