Dear Mother I hope this letter finds you and Da in good health. It has been a while since I have been somewhere long enough to write, and I'm sorry I haven't been able to sooner. Just know that I'm safe. I have finally made it to Lissos. As I write this, I am sitting the one of the coziest taverns I've been in yet watching the rain drum against the cobblestones outside. The food is good and the drink is welcome after a hard day's walk to reach this town on the coast. I shall have to ask the barkeep for the recipe for his spiced cider to send home. I know Da would love it. Ha ha! Tomorrow, I shall seek out the local guilds for work. I have nary an inkling of what kind of job they could have for me, but I'm eager to prove myself. Maybe it'll be hunting some beast in the woods near by, or guarding something important? Yes, Mother, I promise to be careful when I can. If I can manage, I plan on staying here as a home base for a time. Here, at least, the courier riders have a station and drop box for mail, which will make writing home more consistent. The people here seem nice so far. Given the trade that runs through town, they must be used to strangers coming through. Perhaps I can find a friend or two here? I will try to, for travel has been awfully lonely for a while now. That being my only complaint about setting out on my journey so far. In short, I am far from home, and I'm alright. Give my best wishes to Da and Henry, and give Lilly a belly rub for me when you can, to let her know I miss her Love Lyra
My darling Lyra, How fortunate it is to hear that you are well, it truly fills my heart with joy this day, I thank the Lord for His kind mercy. Your father, though a man of few words, was the most affected upon your leave to gain master apprenticeship. He locked himself in his study for 3 days straight and passed the days in great sulk! Rest assured he was able to give up on his mood when I prepared for him the Mooricks pie, his favorite dish. It would have been much sooner had I the spiced cider recipe that you've mentioned. You should know my dear that the key to unlocking a man's heart is through his stomach. Henry is well also, for a boy of his age he is surely a smart one. Sometimes I wonder whether he has too much of his father in him, always tinkering with some mechanical parts around the house than say playing with other boys from the village. The courier boy who handed me this letter scroll by the name of Sammy (you know the blue eyed dreamy one) had asked about your welfare also. I simply told him to mind his own business. Do be wary of the traders in Lissos my dear, they are a bunch of ruffians that will try to play tricks right from under your nose! However, do behave in a manner suitable to make your father and your family proud. Of this I am sure. With heart full of love, Mother P.S. there is a distant relation of ours who helps in running the school of archery in Lissos perhaps you'd drop by to say hi? P.P.S. Lilly's had her belly rub and a pat on her head and is now in the garden running around
yeah the 1 thing i really like is that this is an actual story! you can see ACTUAL PROGRESSION and different camera angles, if you have like some customers that come and leave sometimes its gonna be even more awesomr
The best music to vibe to and study. Period Whether its been a rough day or an unpleasant one, to whoever may read this things will turn out all right in the end. Stay strong
If you are seeing this and you are meant to be writing/studying, stop scrolling through the comments and go do that! And yes this is a message for myself in ten minutes.
I like how the drink and plate of food with the cheese and the bread slowly disappears, and it is neither too crowded, nor are the same customers present. It is so subtle, yet significantly shows that time has passed. Again, the sound of the wood crackling and the rain on the pane in the end is icing on the cake. Loved it!
I love listening to these with critical role in the background. It makes me feel like I'm studying in a tavern and an adventuring party is a few tables away.
I do the exact same thing but with Dimension 20! 10/10 the best way to spend a night in, especially during quarantine. It feels like I've been transported to my own personal adventure :)
I've just found this and my urge was immediately to respond to the 'Lyra' letter and suggest that when it came to guilds, if she encountered a group called Vox Machina she should avoid them like the plague! Even apparently simple jobs always become hazardous with them.
I've been a silent listener for a while but since I am back to working very hard (writing my master's thesis) for uni, I just wanted to leave a few words of gratitude. I've been putting your videos on for years now to study to, be it literal studying for exams, learning vocabulary, or reading through literature and papers for my essays, term papers and my bachelor's thesis. They never fail to help me concentrate and relax - even when I'm super stressed because of my schedule or a deadline. So thank you very much, you have been a significant part of my studies and a companion through six years of learning and working. Only three months left, and I'll hopefully leave all that behind - but your videos are gonna stay!
I was having a very bad day because of mental health issues. This helped me a lot to get calm. I love your mixes, Blue Turtle! Hope you get the attention your art deserves 💙
I'm currently creating my first D&D campaign I've run in my for my friends and I have dubbed this the tavern music in the hub area. Simply brilliant music. So glad I found this. Thanks RU-vid!
I’m probably gonna spend my whole summer obsessively watching every video and compiling a DnD 5e setting book for this. “You arrive at a town. The white walls of an inn shine through the fog and rain, drawing you in. Warmth and peace kiss your face and the weariness of travel drips away from your wet clothes as you find a place by the fire. As everyone in your party make themselves comfortably, you all just totally vibe for like an hour, gaining the benefits of a short rest.”
Don't forget to smell the roses every once in a while. Time goes by so quick, it's easy to forget about all those little things that make life meaningful.
Just sitting down by the computer to write again, fire place is going right behind me and I even got some mead. Now all there is left is to start your wonderful music. Thank you.
I listened two this while writing the first 25,000 words of my book. I feel as if it is time for me to move on, yet i would like to thank you for this beautiful music collection!
This has been helping get me through one of the toughest depressive episodes I've ever dealt with. Thank you for putting together such a cozy ambience and sanctuary :')
Are you still making a game with her as the main character? My partner and I would love to play anything you create. Your art style is phenomenal and incredibly soothing, thanks for the lovely videos either way 😊
I love to imagine my own story with your videos, I feel like the man who appears at 16.40 has smthg to do with the adventure, either a friend that will help me later, or an enemy.
This video may be two years old, but by the gods I love this playlist. The song choice here is absolutely perfect for writing, be it a new dnd session or my thesis paper. Thank you so much for this, Blue.
This is just incredible. I am so happy to have stumbled upon this channel. It really feels like a living and breathing ambient world, as if I could just walk into the tavern and take a seat. The detail and love that you have put into this really shows. I know that I will use this beautiful ambience countless times (and I am going to tell everyone I know to check out your channel). Thank you for this and all of your other gorgeous videos!
I have anxiety issues and often suffer loss of focusing on the task that I really need to be engaged in. I am truly grateful for this playlist bc it helps me to keep stable mood and focus on the thing I'm facing r now. Srry for the bad writing :P And again thanks a lot! I hope you, Blue Turtle have a great day.
Call me silly, but really hope you might make a game and SOMEHOW manage to include amazing little quiet moments like this. Perhaps they only need to just create here in the now, and that's good enough for me! But cheers to the warm and cozy feel your music choice and especially your artwork brings. There's nothing finer than this. *cheers with tea*
Man this is so good. I remember listening to this while studying a few months ago, and it's already nostalgic. This is legit the best channel for background music.
it is so rare when I instantly just subscribe to a channel just after one video... I have no regrets coming across you. And the fact that you have made these illustration is just fantastic ... I'm in awe. Love your videos!
The visuals of these mixes really take things to the next level. By including multiple angles, a polished look, and just enough movement and ambient sound to keep the world engaging, you make me (and I would think most other viewers) feel as if I'm in a new space where I can focus, rather than my dreary dorm room. Thanks for making this!!!
i happened to look up and saw the oxcart with hooded figure slowly cross at 15:33. love the detail and subtle changes. my only request would be to have some of the rain and thunder rumbles heard from inside the tavern. ot perhaps between tracks. that would bring this to perfection-plus (since this is already pretty perfect)
Just stopping by again to say thank you for these creations. I listen to them all the time while I'm working, and sometimes I'll put it on our TV when we are playing board games. The art and the music make such a wonderful atmosphere!
I love every single video. They bring me to a state of such tranquility. The animations are impeccable by the way. This is one of my favourites. It reminds me a lot of the Prancing Pony from Lord of the Rings. I can just picture Strider sat with one foot up on his chair and the other dangling off the side watching as the four hobbits toy away their anonymity. And as a concluding not, can I just say how absolutely beautiful the fires are in these animations. People could really learn a thing or two from the quality these videos display. To live in Lissos; 'tis but the heart's dream...
I had a dream with so many noteworthy moments in it. I took the time to identify the symbols and things that I felt were most prominent. Even though it might just be my own subconscious playing director and presenting me a movie. *_Sitting here in this tavern on a rainy day with one cold breeze window open and a fire crackling next to me as I write has been an soothing journey on its own._* Thank you Blue Turtle.
I literally fall asleep to this sound for 5 months now! Its super relaxing in stressful moments and to fall asleep! I wanna thank you for this amazing video ✨ Love the sounds of the rain as well
I'm constantly in awe of the stunning animation and beautifully composed music on Blue Turtle's channel. Thank you for sharing your incredible artistry with us!💗💗💗💗💗💗
Yes Blue Turtle shared their incredible artistry with us. But they did not post it so you could shamelessly copy it and post it as "your own" on your channel.
Very chill, best of the fantasy ambiences I can find. Perfect for a day of writing. I love the little bits of worldbuilding that your videos establish too.
I love everything, but especially the little details outside. The gentle curve of the tower, the hanging root from the little tree, the various windows and doors, fences and bushes, bricks and weathering on everything. The ruts and puddles, and especially the little culvert underneath the tavern steps. Very thoughtful composition.
I am commenting twice based on the amount of views I've contributed. This collection, animation, et al has done me and my partner wonders. It's our go-to for date night. Thank you
This playlist has been a godsent for me on a day like today! A nasty storm is making its way past my island over the next few days, and I'm staying inside and slowly unpacking boxes of boxes of stuff into a new apartment. This is really helping make the move all the more cozy despite the bad weather, so thank you! I shall be hunkering down and riding it out while pretending, in my heart, that I'm waiting it out in a cozy tavern instead (where i don't have to organize boxes of stuff)
THIS IS ALL I HAVE WANTED!! Just discovered your channel and magical world you have created. I love having these to escape to when I am doing homework or studying. More fantasy ones !!!!!!
