History & Atmosphere:
In the Celtic traditions of early Britain, lakes were understood as thresholds—places where the human world touched the Otherworld. Offerings of blades, torcs, and crafted metal were placed beneath the water as gifts to unseen powers. From this ancient ritual landscape emerges the myth of Nimue, the Lady of the Lake: guardian of stillness, giver of the sword, and keeper of the mysteries beneath the surface.

This ambient experience drifts through Nimue's realm—misted shorelines, shifting light, and the quiet presence of a woman who belongs to both water and legend.The music is original, inspired by early modal patterns, natural drones, and gentle harmonic textures meant to evoke Avalon’s timeless threshold.

Perfect for sleep, study, relaxation, reading, writing, and background atmosphere.
