The Key to Hope - Farewell to The Faire




Click for Bigger



Official faire events ended Sunday with the big Live auction bringing in over 1.6 million Linden alone. And according to the faires web sight its currently sitting at L$25,064,199 ($100,256 USD) at the end of Sunday and with it still being open for shopping till Wednesday thats bound to go up a bit more!

I had a grand time this year showing friends around the faire. Exploring the sims and doing quests and sim hunts. And I got to be a chess piece in Avatar chess! Purple rules!


The Children of stories Roleplay went splendidly and for the second year in a row we got a group shot!

We got several new people that I just know will be back next year and I can't wait to see what we do.


So one last day to say farewell to the fairelands, then they will fade into the mist. But we know, as always Junction will arise again and bring with it new fairelands next spring.

So this isn't a full goodbye....its only a goodbye for now..

The Clouded Mountains by Gidgette Adagio * Official Text from the Fantasy Faire Webpage *


The Clouded Mountains is one of the prettiest forest sims I have ever had the pleasure to explore! And so much to find! Caves with lil hidden rooms, Houses with their creature inhabitants tending to things. A wee lil school! All sorts of things! Just..ugh I could take days here finding everything! Its so brilliantly done.

And then there that it is the quest sim! Learn about how to start the quest here and you get a LOT for a little Linden to do the quest! and the Sims will be open till the 11th so you have time! It will first take you to most of the faire sims and then here to the Clouded Mountains to finish it.

And this is the last of this years Fantasy Faire sims. I'll do a wrap up on Thursday after the sims close down!

All of my photos of the sim can be seen at this link here






I must show off the outfit by Belle Epoque that you get if you buy the deluxe hud. There is also a matching Mens outfit as well.

I'm honestly not quite sure what Iridescent Keys is sim wise other then a buffer sim between Effervescent Clefs and The Clouded Mountains and a sorta extension of Effervescent Clefs party simness. But its still a beautiful sim! Just, its mostly underwater! I think theres even the remains of a few older Fanatay faire builds under the water but I'm not 100% sure about that

Opet - Creators

Click here for a list of all the stores on Opet with SLURL's to their main stores and click here for an All sim shopping guide link. I will not be posting SLURL's individually, as you can get them all at that handy link. If you need one for an item I have on that is NOT at Fantasy fair, and that will mostly be hair and poses, Ask for it! I'll be happy to tell you, if I remember what I used, but I am trying to highlight the Fantasy Faire exclusive items, or items by FF vendors only. And not everything I have on.

SLURL to Opet


Some of the best stores on this sim! So lets take a gander at a small handful of them!

All of the poses I used for these photos are from Astalianda's various Isis pose sets.





This first outfit is not the relay item by !dM deviousMind but I just could not resist getting their Bastet outfit as it fits the sim theme better. And learned that the secret color was this pink one! Perfection! I did also grab their relay offering but its more of an oriental style.





This simple but elegant silk gown is by Faida and is called Magali and I paired it with Wasabi's Shiloh hair, which is also simple but elegant!






The last outfit is Fallen Gods Relay offering for the ladies. And I WISH I had a way to make my head match but...I don't . It's a just mind blowingly detailed skin, and the outfit I have on. The outfit comes with some extra items that I do not have on and the skin goes on the face for both normal and EVO heads. It's called DYNASTY female, Ankh Ed. I've also got on the Thoth's Acolyte Reward which are hand/arm tattoos that blended well with the skin! Those are free if you go to Thoth's Sesh Hall






Now for some decor! Of course I have to show off just SOME of what you can get at meadowWorks. First here are her Ark of Anubis and Sobek God of the Nile. She has SO MUCH more in her shop as well!






These are also by meadowWorks. They where made special for Alia and he had them about his shop on the sim and people loved them so much they put them up for sale! They are the Sacred Ark of The Golden Penguins. Grab yours as they may not be around after this!







Golden Unicorn Fireworks is back with more fire bangs for you! Showing here are Dragon Tail Fountain and Cosmic Adventure Fountain which you can see in action at this link





And the last item I have for you is this Scuplted Planter by the Home store called Sphinx Cat planter

Opet is the stunning sim designed by Alia that is a love letter to Ancient Egypt. A sister sim to his Golden Delta from 2016 that once again brings his amazing builds along with highlights of statues by Garvie Garzo of meadowWorks. Who I am so happy to see back creating!

It's really just about near impossible to not take a good photo of this sim. Its just full of small details! As well as a daily quest with Thoth Apprentice. Which Ive managed to do every day this year! Just find Thoth's hall and start! Sadly theres only a few days left but you can pick up a few!

Got some cute things from Aarkenfen. You CAN get sim bits like the statues I just...haven't yet. But DO drop into the store for Dandelion dreams and check those out AND bits from Fantasy faire past builds by them! Heck you can even get that brilliant blue sky EEP for Aarkenfen in the store!





Lets start with this Green and leather pirate outfit by [JANGKA] called Mystical! I really love the pattern on the top. And it comes in two versions one with the overjacket and cape and one with out!





Ok this outfit was tricky to do as I mostly wanted to show off the amazing Geode Kintsugi Tattoo by K9nnor. Kintsugi is the art of repairing pottery with gold. Or turning something broken into something more beautiful then before. And I just felt it so fitting for fitting for RFL. I wasn't sure how with out resorting to a swim suit but then the problem got solved when I went into the Static store in Basset Town. Their Chrystalline Armor was the perfect way to show the tattoo. There is also bits that extent up the neck and onto the face but obviously I can't show that part. I also paired it with torment.'s taric [halo]






Now for the first of two Couples outfits. This one is by Gypsy wolf Designs and I have on Pirate Lita and Adar has on Pirate Damian. Both are complete outfits with boots and gloves! And I again like the patterns on the tops! In fact I think I may have worked with some pleather IRL with the pattern on Adar's outfit.






And the last outfits I have for you is the other couples outfit. This time they are by Tayren's Fantasy Fashions (TFF). Adar has on Edward and I have on Elizabeth. These outfits come with everything and even have HAIR. But I chose to not go with the hair. And yes i like the pattern on this one too!






now for some decor, This is Dreamland Design's Fantasy moon gate which is just fabulous! Toss a TP or Experience script into that middle part and you have a great way to transport people about your sim!





And now this cutie is by EED Home&Garden and is called Giving wings and its such a cute lil fairy and flowers! Love it!

Aarkenfen's main building is one of the most unusual ones I have seen in secondlife. A stone giant's head riseing out of the water. I dunno if it was once alive or was always a statue but its pretty dang amazing. I love the mixed critter statues you find scattered about as well.

There is a mini sim hunt as well that tells the story of the sim. It starts at the landing point look for a lil face button then have a go! Its not hard and you get pressies!

SLURL to The Hunros Mine


The shops in the mines are 95% clothing for Tinies and other small avatars. So if you have one of those this is the place for you! And while I do have one I was not feeling 100% today so didn't track it down to show off some of them. Sorry!

I do have a few things though. And I've been told that the Children of Stories Shop in the mines will have some items added as well. Like Ridable moles and elfkin avatars!

For now though let me show you what I have!






This black gown with a rainbow underskirt is by ThimbleWytch and is called Colors of Cancer. And next to me is a Dreamkin, which you can get from this years Faire treasures wootable






Next up is a fun cute full avatar. No not the mole. The square with the legs! Which you can see pop about the Mines at times when the "magic" explodes. so now you can bop about as a bit of magic! It also comes in the blue you see in the sim but I of course had to wear the pink! It's by The Silas Gallery and you can get it in the Children of Stories shop!






And now this is the Sniffer Moles outfit that the kids wore for the rp. which you can get for yourself! and the magic extractor. Both are available at the Sniffer Moles Camp







Now onto some decor. Little Big designs never fails to delight with their just..mind blowing Doll houses and this is another! And has PEOPLE. This is their Farmer's Market and while in the shop you can see it larger when you get it its small and adorable!





And the other one I have. which is also kinda something you cna wear. is this amazing hot air balloon by Birth. It's got a lot of textures to pick from so I settled on this candy pattern!

I spent so much time in The Hunros Mine this year. Its the sim that hosted the Children of Stories Roleplay! Which is over now so you can read all about it at the link here and if you just want to read the wrap ups you can do so here and all the photos I took over the rp can be seen at this link . Those photos are also the best way to see how the Mine changed over the course of the Rp. As it does look different now then it did at the start!

You may go into this sim thinking oh its a mine, thats gonna be dull. YOU"D BE SO WRONG! Hunros Mine is an absolutely stunning entire underground city. Big enough for an airship to fit in! And the focal point is the Large "bell" that glows and lights up the caverns.

Theres the city to explore but also under it, are the mining tunnels. And whooo you can get SO lost in those! I still cant make my way in them with out getting turned about. But theres things to see down in them! You wont find Loom and his friends with out going into them! or Mother Mole! So explore this build..explore it a LOT

SLURL to Basset Town


There's quite a number of amazing shops filled with all kinds of goodness to find in town! From amazing clothing, fun gadgets great furniture and other decor, and as the Teegle shop is here HORSES! So have fun exploring







Here is the first of two amazing Couples outfits I have to show off. Adar and I have on Hotdogs Respectable suit and Respectable Dress. Both are in relay vendors of the shop right as you enter! You get both male and female of each in the Relay vendor and theres a hud with a range of dark colors! So well made! I like how I could have had HIM in the dress and me in the pants!

And while its not a relay item, or anything anyone can buy at all. I do have to give a shout to to my friend Eldorzi for the custom poses he made me for this and the next Photo as well! Working with tails and wings for poses is not an easy job!






The next couples outfit is by Contraption and while we had to wait a bit the jacket was WORTH the wait! Adar has on the Atreus Frock *magus* edition made for Relay. Which is this fabulous western coat with glwoing runes on it! You can change the color of the runes and how much they glow. You can also pick the shirt, cravet, button and waist coat color. We are both wearing High-waisted Trousers *Bassett* and instead of matching him in my own Frock coat I picked the Thibaut Waistcoat because it looks like what you have on with the coat only, with out the coat on. And it comes with several color options as well.






And onto a solo photo for Adar, Hes here showing off the Quills & Curiosities Hunters garb. Which is a really nice "bad guy" outfit if you are so inclined to play that type.







And the last outfit I have is a cute country gown by NAMINOKE called [r-l-f]+*N* Dress 2022.05. I paired it with one of the hairs by KMH called simply Hair F195 RFL .





Moving onto decor this fabulous desk and shelves comes with EVERYTHING you see on it and is by (:ERG:) and its their Jeweler's Research Desk.






And this bit is one of two decor items you can get from the Neo Victoria project . this ones called The unexpected visitor.


Image from Gyazo


And I had to go with Gyzo for this last item as I wanted to show the hud. it's a Kazzo from Lvl9 and honestly is one of the best things ever. As you can see on the hud it has several songs, and second page of them and I LOST it when I heard the Jurassic Park song played. Pick this up just for the fun of it and the relay donation when you buy it! It will not dissapoint in amusement factors.
