Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Lady of the Autumn Keep

November 07, 2025

She stands by the window as the day wanes, the forests below her turning to flame beneath the fading sun. Beyond the mountains, the chill of winter gathers, but for now, her hall is warm with light and memory.

The the new Gable Hood from Grasshopper Street, debuting at the November round of We Love Role-Play, is an n exquisite piece that brings historical depth to fantasy styling, with embroidered detailing and metallic trims that frame the face gracefully. It’s also a rare find: a headpiece that complements both historical gowns and creative fantasy attire with equal ease.

The Madelyn Gown by Rakshasa features elegant brocade textures, a shaped bodice, and flowing skirts that capture a sense of quiet nobility. The combination of deep green and gold feels regal, particularly under warm indoor lighting like this, and it looks beautiful together with the hood.

For the setting, I used Moon Coven’s Medieval Small Palace, also available at We Love Role-Play for this round. Its tall windows and richly textured interiors make it an ideal backdrop for portraits, evoking the mood of a secluded noble residence.

The Brewer is in Town

August 12, 2025

The brewer has come to town to sell his wares, with a wagon full of bottles and barrells. This neat prop by RiG! Artifact Design is available at the current round of We Love Role-Play. It includes two seated and one standing animation for male and female avatars. The horse is not included, it is Teegle’s Irish Cob which I just added in for some colour. The house in the background is also a new release for the event, Moon Coven’s Medieval Fine House, an elegant two-story building for a medieval town or village.

Finally we have the Marl Tunic from Stitched, available for Jake and Legacy. The belt is integral but the tunic can be worn with or without sleeves.

The Longship

September 13, 2024

Time to get in touch with my Viking roots and set sail on a longship. At least virtually and once this ship is ready to be launched. Right now, it is still in the shipyard and needs to be guarded against those who might steal or sabotage it. Fortunately, I have some wickedly sharp weapons from Angelicus on hand.

The shipyard with the in-progress longship is a new release from Moon Coven for We Love Role-Play. It comes in a handy rez box that allows you to easily adjust the positioning once it is rezzed out. This is a beautifully detailed build with ladders and walking planks that allows for proper roleplay as a worker on the ship and there is a room with tools and drawings of the design as well for added atmosphere.

The weapons from Angelicus are also from WLRP, a set of prop weapons with different options for how you hold the spear and on which side the knife and axe hangs. They are modifiable, which is good because I needed to size up the belt.

Finally, we have the Fosca dress from Les Encantades, also from WLRP. A bit of a ragged dress with some runic embroidery at the neckline and a raven design on the skirt, so very appropriate for the Norse theme.
