The Nuns of Midlam Abbey

Another Kickstarter from Midlam Miniatures. The figures are always high quality and their service is par excellence!

The Nuns of Midlam Abbey live lives almost totally separated from the brothers, a condition which is overseen by the Abbess, Mother Mia. They are renowned for their weaving, intricate tapestries, fine wines and healing arts.  

There are many reasons that women choose to enter the Abbey.  Some are daughters of minor nobles who prefer the life to marrying some terrible old Knight.  Some are drawn to the nunnery through their faith, some in their quest for knowledge and some seek peace and shelter from a harsh and unforgiving world.

For the most part, they are respected and held in reverence, but some ask questions. They are said to have a number of members of the lost village of Hexham amongst their number and have accepted the confessions of former Moon Cultists and let them into their order. But against all speculation and rumour, they are protected by the the walls of the Abbey, the Seal of the Baron of Midlam and their faith in the Lord.Midlam Miniatures

  1. I was not expecting to see a post about Nuns today, but I will CONFESS that I have kicked THE HABIT of scrolling through blog-posts too quickly and I stopped and admired this fine of group of tiny SISTERS. I like them a lot — fun and funny!
