Fantasy Faire 2024: Almost the Last Stop

May 05, 2024

The end of the Fantasy Faire draws near, but there is still time to experience the magic of the Fairelands for two more days, until the 7th of May. I have paid several visits to The Last Stop, the underwater sim designed by Teegle, but so far I had not done any photography there. That was, of course, an excellent excuse to do a bit more poking around on the back of the gorgeous Hippocampus, the second of the new Teeglepets.

Like the Kelpie, the Hippocampus is half horse, half sea creature. But despite is foreboding name—Scylla—the Hippocampus has a much more benign appearance than the sharp-toothed Kelpie. Mythologically, they are often seen pulling the chariots of gods and goddesses of the sea or being ridden by nymphs of the sea.

There are already a ton of beautiful appliers out, both from Teegle and other creators, but here I went with the gorgeous default applier. Its too bad you would need a very big aquarium to keep a Hippocampus! ;)

Also from the Faire is the lovely gown by Portal, its shimmering fabric a nice match with the iridescence of the Hippocampus coat, and a delicate circlet from PANIQ.

Fantasy Faire 2024: Walk the Plank

April 25, 2024

Adventure calls at Plankbarrow Harbor, where many broken ships have come to rest and a twisted array of ropes and planks shaped into a town of sorts. A hideout for pirates and treasure seekers, with dangers lurking both on the rickety wooden piers and below the waves. If you plan on visiting, you had better keep your wits about you and a trusty dagger at hand. Not all encounters will be friendly, especially after dusk.

The Muses Wanderer outfit almost looks made for the Atriane Gloves from Senzafine, or vice versa. A great base for a pirate look, with the ostentatious hat by Attitude is an Artform adding a lot of flair (and sitting nicely on the curly hairstyle by Analog Dog). The necklace from Portal is rather understated but has an interesting design and the obsidian dagger from Oblivis Solem looks appropriately menacing.

I am late to report this, but LL has allowed the Faire two extra days before the Fairelands fade away, which means you will be able to explore, shop and raise money for RLF until the 7th of May!

Temple Priestess

Sunset over a beautiful temple and an ancient olive grove by the sea, and a priestess is bringing a tray of offerings.

What is the note slipped between the pages of the slim volume about? A warning? A secret assignation? Perhaps the message was found by chance, meant for someone else entirely?

From We Love Role-Play’s September round comes a collaboration between Portal and Barracuda. The Oren set, which includes a belted tunic and pants, comes in a silk and a rough leather version. Each includes several colour combinations for mixing and matching between tunic and pants and the set includes fits for Legacy Male and Legacy Athletic.  This event exclusive release is sold at 25% off.

Also from WLRP are the Lune eyes by Musa, which you can see a close-up of in the second picture. The colour I am wearing is from the Fantasy pack and you can get it and the other colours at 30% off while at the event.

Finally, I’m using yet another torch from the set by Tirrany Designs, which is 25% off.
