I haven't introduced myself for the past 3 years since I first appeared on this game in 2017. You may consider me who I am as a helper, guide, or a good friend. So, let me introduce myself and my story (in 3rd person).

This is Widmung, he is one of the 3 deer owned and operated by Jeweleye, who himself has been playing this game for the past 15 years. Widmung is the German word meaning Dedication. Certainly, he is based on the beautiful piano composition and lieder (The first song cycle of "Myrthen" Liebesleid S.566 Opus 25 No. 1) of the same name written by the Romantic Era composers Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt. Usually, you see him meditating in the sunlit mushroom circle overlooking the pond and bridge. Occasionally, he likes to greet curious and friendly players who come to meet him in his circle. Despite his eternal age, Widmung has a pure soul in his heart. He looks scary to others, but he is very sweet, gentle, and calm. Widmung trusts players that welcome him into societies, gatherings, or events. Sometimes, when Widmung sees new "unique" 5th-generation player pictograms that appear in the forest, he's on a mission. He likes to give flowers to new players (mostly fawns) so that they will keep their flowers if they like to. Eventually, when he seeks players who need help with their appearance, Widmung can help them to become amazing characters. Widmung is considered to be a guide to the forest, he will show the resources on how to get pelts, antlers, and masks, to new developing players who come here in this game. On holidays like Easter, Halloween, and Christmas, Widmung enjoys bringing candles from the playground to everyone in the forest, he brings them as a gift. He doesn't care if they like it or not. He always bows and treats the players with respect. Widmung is a very kind, loyal, wise, helpful, playful, and respectful player to others. Mostly, in the afternoon or evening, you see him occasionally in the game but sometimes, he has other stuff more important to do.

The 46 pictures of fine art (shown above) tell the story of Widmung's life. (There are 7 of these images that show my older deer avatar, Jeweleye.)
His best friends, in most of the images, appreciated him for keeping company and for helping them to have unique sets of forest magic.

Synopsis


Maestro Widmung was once a fine piano virtuoso of the Victorian Era. He enjoyed performing in numerous concerts and toured all over the Forests of Europe to play his song of dedication.
However, he was cursed into an Imperial Austrian grand piano made from Rosewood. His pure soul was permanently trapped inside the instrument.

Many decades have passed and Widmung's piano sat like a time capsule in an empty music hall in Vienna. One day, a fine gentleman named Julius Oculus, bearing the player's name of Jeweleye, wanted the antique piano to become his grandchild.

Julius then took the Austrian grand piano with him and travelled to The Endless Forest. He freed the pure-hearted soul of Widmung and transformed him in becoming a devoted grandson.
Widmung was tasked to help new deer as a good deed, and therefore, he passed Jeweleye's legacy of finding new pictograms and befriending new players , out there in the Wilderness.

Yet, his piano form is inside within him, and his pure soul sings out a chord into a sonata or a symphony, calling others to a warm gathering of dedication and devotion.

Nice one, Saater! <3 I tried to wake up Widmung, but the game froze and crashed on my old computer. (3 times) Sad

Its great seeing everyone here! I had a successful, yet challenging fall semester completed! I have plans to make for this year's Holiday Season:

If the Forest's atmosphere cooperates on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day, I am planning on making a Candle Run: that is by giving candles, from the Playground to every kindhearted player in the Forest.
It is part of my holiday tradition of bringing presents to deer of all ages. Everyone is welcome to participate in this Holiday Giving! Idea

I hope to see all of you there! Smiling

Sad I'm so sorry! Saater behaved like a stupid child with his sleeping father. Of course, if nothing happens before Christmas, I will take part in the Candle Run. I love this tradition very much, and it is an honor for me to be a part of it.

Weihnachten (Christmas) 2025

I was hoping for the Forest to snow in the twilight, but alas, there was no change at all. (Just like last year)
I am glad to see the candles available in the Playground. Widmung delivered his gifts to about 12 players on his Christmas Candle Run Dash in the forest.
He will continue to deliver more of his gifted candles on Christmas Day.

I have met new faces in the Forest, and they received their gifted Candles of Faith. It was a pleasure meeting these deer!

Also, I want to thank Demigoddess for helping out those new players to receive their Forest Magic sets! Eris, Saater, P, Demi, and I are now a big team! Perhaps we should call ourselves The Fabulous Five
It was great having all of you for the mission to shed light onto these players! Idea

I am making my own character design on Adobe Illustrator, so it's going to be a surprise! ^^

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Idea Idea Idea

God bless all of you! Smiling

Das fröhliche alte

TEF_Widmung_Grand_Piano_Steinweiss_Style_Copy_Signature

Das fröhliche alte österreichische Konzertklavier (The Merry Old Austrian Grand Piano)

To conclude our great year of 2025, I have finally finished my illustration of Widmung as a unique inanimate object.

My inspiration comes from listening to classical music on old formats such as mechanical reproducing player piano rolls (played by the composer) and Victrola 78 rpm records.
Another is by looking at the works of the American graphic design artist, Alex Steinweiss. He was known for inventing the album cover for Columbia Records in the 1940s.
The reason why Widmung wears his zombie pelt is because it states an expression of old age.
Inside of him is a piano harp, made in the late 19th century. Some strings are out of tune, yet it makes a hauntingly beautiful sound.

Here's the story:

Maestro Widmung was once a fine piano virtuoso of the Victorian Era. He enjoyed performing in numerous concerts and toured all over the Forests of Europe to play his song of dedication.
However, he was cursed into an Imperial Austrian grand piano made from Rosewood. His pure soul was permanently trapped inside the instrument.

Many decades have passed and Widmung's piano sat in an empty music hall in Vienna. One day, a fine gentleman named Julius Oculus, bearing the player's name of Jeweleye, wanted the antique piano to become his grandchild.

Yet, his piano form is inside within him, and his pure soul sings out a chord into a sonata or a symphony, calling others to a warm gathering of dedication and devotion.

I wish everyone A Happy New Year! Idea Idea Idea Godspeed 2026! Smiling

We had a wonderful band concert. Our first one in the year of 2026! It started from a quartet and grew into an octet as more beloved friends performed altogether!
Thanks to our band leaders: Dr. Julius (Jeweleye) Oculus, Mr. P, Maestro Widmung, and almost every member of the Forest's Fabulous Five.

We were like musicians improvising our rhythms. The melody grew stronger, and the notes flew in every glissando through the air.

Our concert is dedicated to Saater, our precious friend! Idea

I have an update to share:

Recently, I have heard that we have lost one of our beloved friends in the community. We will honor the life and memories of Sealtiel, the sister of the deer, Flaccitheus.

Now, as of January, I am back at my university. My obligation now is to work hard for every assignment. I am currently busy. Puzzled

This is going to be my last Spring Semester. I expect to graduate with my Bachelor's degree in the summer.

My deer, Widmung, will be available on weekends depending on the workload for my obligations.

I will check back on the community several times if I see something new.

I hope that everyone is doing well. Thank you all for spending the time with my deer characters, and I hope to see you all soon, when I have the time.

Have a good night. Smiling

So thank you for leading the way, our forest guide <3
