Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Mistress of the Manor

April 05, 2026

The April round of We Love Role-Play opened yesterday and my first choice of scene to build ended up a touch gothic. In a stark manor inherited from a distant cousin, a young heiress has taken up residence all by herself. She dresses as she would for the city and stands out in the gloomy suroundings.

The Rosalie Gown by Ruxy sets features soft draping and delicate structure which gives an impression of refinement without excess. The silhouette feels period-inspired without being rigid, and the spring green paired with the patterned panel adds just enough contrast to catch the light in subtle ways. I paired it with the Edith earrings by Sublime, understated but elegant.

The manor by PROPS! dominates the countryside it sits in and within it is dark and austere. You have a choice between two different size, much appreciated as many builds in Second Life run too big for my tastes. The smaller size also suited the main furnishings which are also available at WLRP; the antique wing chair from Lorien and the dressed from Laminak.

The Watchtower

October 13, 2025

Every year, she visits the isolated watchtower and looks out over the ocean. And every year, she leaves in silence and goes back to her life.

We Love Role-Play for October is in full swing and this round mixes in plenty of Halloween-inspired releases. But for this post, I stayed within the classic fantasy realm, using the imposing tower from Nocturna Deed to set the stage. Inside, I decorated with pirate-inspired items from Laminak (there are more pieces to the set than is shown here) and for my outfit I selected the beautiful gown from the Muses and the stunning silver choker from Sigma. The choker is fitted mesh and it really makes for a much better jewellery fit for necklaces, even if that of course limits which bodies you can use it on.

The hair is the Cider style from Wasabi, a high braid that can be worn over either shoulder and with or without bangs for maximum versatility.

Be Welcome

April 07, 2023

The large inn lay furthest out on the peninsula and served travellers coming both by land and sea. The dusky interior was cheerfully lit by torches and by the smile of the tavernkeep’s daughter.

There are so many new releases that I absolutely adore in this post. First, make certain not to miss the Spring Edition of the Asha hair from Wasabi, out for 50 Linden Friday. This is my favourite braid in Second Life and it is so pretty with the flowers. I had already decided on wearing Asha for this post and then the special edition came out and made the look even better, its so sweet together with the lovely Emma gown by Les Encantades, a new release for We Love Role-Play. The dress can be worn with or without the embroidered corset and the fullpack you can mix and match the colours.

Fantasy Faire 2022: The King’s Maid

May 06, 2022

For the daughter of a very minor rural lord, with a keep of wood rather than stone, being found a place in the royal household was considered quite the achievement. That her duties were those of a servant rather than a lady-in-waiting did not matter to her kin, as long as she served in the king’s own castle.

The last weekend of the Fantasy Faire is upon us. I haven’t yet managed to do the Quest so that is what I hope to do with my weekend, as well as sharing some final blog posts with you. The focus of this one is a grand furniture set from Laminak featuring a canopy bed, bedside table, chest and wardrobe. I love the look of the woodwork on these pieces, they are truly fit for royalty.

I also took the opportunity to show off the Terra Sigillata Wine Tray and Wine Jug from Del-ka Aedilis. These are of course Roman rather than medieval, but work well enough in place of other kinds of pottery. There are subtle designs on all the pieces, very much in the classic style of Terra Sigillata.
