Öndheim is known as the Realm of the Spirits. It is a place where departed souls take rest during their journey from the mortal realm to the what lays ahead. Heavily inspired by Nordic and Viking landscaping/architecture, featuring ancient stone structures in a cold mountain region in front of the sea, that fights in opposition with the fire element. The land is embraced in a hazy and magical atmosphere, with teal, light green and aquamarine colours.

We step from a realm that is all about the magic of books and into a Nordic realm. Welcome to Ondheim! A town that seems to be carved out the very mountain it lays at the foot of. Giant shards of Selenite seem to glow to guide you about. While the ghostly figures of those on their way to the afterlife watch as you journey though this realm. There are even a few secret places to search out and find!

Click here for a Shopping Guide to all stores on Whispering Pages I will not be posting store SLURL's individually, as my goal is for you to go to the faire to buy the items there! If you want information on 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 you can get at their faire shop only. And not everything I have on.
SLURL to Whispering Pages


Shopping time! This sim has a wide range of creators including some pose makers! One of which, I had put the items in the wrong sims folder in my inventory so it will show up later on and I will make sure to not you get it at Whispering pages!

The sim's designer store is not ready yet as the amazing people being this book sim needed a bit of a health break. But I do hope bits of the sim will be around to buy when they are up to setting the store up!




The first outfit I have for you all is a matched set by Rainy Fey Creations, both the gown and the tux are called Vythellin . I love the ruffles on the gown and it matches the vest on the tux.




The next set is available for a WIDE range of avatars and bodies, including Dinkies and the Jomo avatars. It is by John Dee's Emporium and is called the Astrology set. Its kinda like work out wear so was fun to wear.




This lovely gown is called Lyra and is by Tayren's Fantasy Fashions . it comes in a range of colors and ombres and comes with the hair roses and the choker! Its quite grand.




Now to move onto the first of two outfits by Cygnet's Dreams, and both I paired a pose from Global Nomads. In this one is a fun fairy dress simply named for the leaves it is patterned after, the Ginko dress. The pose is called Finding Dragon and comes with the lil draggy and book! They have a whole line of dragon and book poses in fact!




This is the other outfit by the above creators, the dress is called Petal dress. The Mushroom hat is also by Cygnet's Dreams! This pose is called The Dragon Supremacy pose. I also am wearing a chest tattoo from Arkhive called Mara. Its a very lovely and intricate tattoo that goes from neck to navel and you can get it in a lot of colors.




Moving onto decor now, this lil cutie is by Collect and is called Here's my Heart. For the obvious reasons I rather adore him.




This last item is one part of a set by Mindgarden Creations that recreate the Asgardian Bifrost bridge and building from the movies. This set here is the bridge itself and an archway. The bridge is SO Much more impressive in world as its animated and sparkly! Also Huge.

Fantasy Faire 2024 Sim - Whispering Pages

A mystical forest where scribblers and authors have found refuge since time immemorial. There are huts with pillars and windows made of books, where traders sell their wares creating an endless marketplace for the preservation, re-creation and exchange of words and writings – hidden in the library of memories and countless booksellers and readers. A place where every visitor is welcome to actively write his or her own life story, to hold on to it or to let it go and start anew. At the tree of writings and many small reading corners, along the paths… Are you ready to write your own story?


*Official text from the Fantasy Faire page*

This is the sim that features the Roleplay classes. Info and schedule will be found at this link.

Whispering pages is a book lovers dream build. A forest full of buildings of books, Book plants and a massive library. And so many critters having reading parties. Its just a delight.

The central highlight of the build is the Tree of Writings which is a massive tree with leaves of book pages. Its just stunning. I am hoping it will be for general sale but I bet its gonna be a live auction item! it'd be worth it!

A field of poppies covers the middle of the sim. as well as tributes to people AND pets that have been lost. I believe you can submit your own loved ones to be added to the displays but I am not 100% sure about it, or if its true how to do that.

The EEP is also gorgeous and I will keep looking to see if I can snag it!

SLURL to Sunstone Oasis


Sunstone Oasis is home to the majority of the Tiny and dinkie community creators. So if you have one and want a wide range of new clothing and other things for your avatar COME HERE! The Fairlane Pawlece are also at home here. SO if your looking for them, come to their headquarters!
There is still some things for full sized avatars though! Some come take a look at them. And some decor. Plus skins for a wide range of animal avatars!



Which speaking of the appliers for creature avatars. I grabbed two freinds that had the wolf and Fox avatars from TWI and put on my wild cat to show off these skins from Multifarious's gorgous Vale skins. Which has a few other critters you can get them for as well. And not all of them are green! But all are lovely!




Next up is a colorful outfit set from Zan's. He has a whole line of retro patterns for his vintage styles based on Classic 80's textures that are great fun to look at! This one Adar and I have on is the pattern I loved the most. Just scan through his multi hud vendors to find the one that catches your eye.




This stunner of a gown is by Secrets of Gaia and is called Wings of Hope. It comes in a range of colors as well as you can change the beaded straps and decor on the back. I just love the way the flowers and butterfly look on this one.




This cute floral outfit by Micachan is a full sized version of one of their Dinkies outfits. It's called hydrangea loves and the butterfly on my nose is animated!




I had to dig out my Dinkie avatar to show off this CUTE fairy look. It's by Frangipani Garden and it is their Flower Fairy outfit. You an also buy the wings on their own which may work for full sized avatars if you want smaller wings.




Moving onto decor Here is two items. The gorgous spring tree and swing is by FlyingArts and it is their Tranquil Tree. The fountain is by Multifarious and is their Sunstone Oasis Fountain. The fish move!



On the sim the dinkies chose to set up on you will nearly always find Little Big Desgins and their work never fails to blow my mind with the details. Among their Relay offerings this year you will find the Gothic Revival dollhouse and the The Bookshelf Shops. Click the names to get a closer look inside.

Fantasy Faire 2024 Sim - Sunstone Oasis

SUNSTONE OASIS | SLURL

Region by Nix Onyx

Centuries ago, an ancient civilization, now lost to the sands of time and the encroaching desert, thrived around an oasis. Historical records reveal that a catastrophic drought forced these people to abandon their homes.

Subsequently, some lost travellers stumbled upon this once-forsaken oasis, mysteriously finding one of the wells beginning to refill and allowing them to survive. In time these travellers found other nomads and traders and made a secret market in the deep desert where people from disparate parts of their scattered clans can gather to trade and celebrate together.

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

This is the sim that features the Children of Stories annual faire rp. Info and updates will be found at this link. And I'll have photos of it in my wrap up post .

Sunstone Oasis is a simple but stunning sim. A half deserted desert town, but one that is, for the moment anyway, bustling with new arrivals for the market. You walk along the walls of the main buildings and down stairs to the massive pool that is filled by water from the mountains via an aqueduct.

On the edges in the older parts of the town are market stalls. Some smaller then others. Seemly run by a group of kids. The other? Traveled in recently.

But be wary while you explore! Sand storms can happen!

This sim is worth chilling about in for a while as the EEP for it is just amazing. I got distracted from photo taking due to it. You can watch the moon and sun rise and at times it will trigger legit sandstorms that change how the sim looks. PLUS you can buy this in the main shop! It comes with all the levels. The land setting version, sand storms to put about AND an eclipse version of it!

SLURL to Samsara
 

Due to having the  Literary Festival Samsara does not have as many shops as the other shopping sims do. But it does have one of my favorite stores! Petrichor!! They make such pretty things with all kinds of options. 

Also I forgot to take close ups of the jewelry items so, click the make it big link and zoom in. 

 


Lets start with this outfit that is entirely by Petrichor! All of their items I have on are in their Relay vendors. The dress is Amarylis and the horns crown and ..floaty thingy are from a set called Arien Horns . I really loved the whole celestial theme on the jewelery and the dress. 

 


These next two outfits feature Adar's first showing this year. AND in his newly updated avatar! The people that made my head at last released a dragon head, wings AND tail. So he's all bentoed up at last! Full credits are on the credit tab of my blog. One day I need to add links to that. 

ANYWAY 

We are both wearing outfits by Psyche's Pstyles. Adar has on their Roguish Shirt and I have on their Lady in Velvet Dress. I like how rustic both of them look. They are very simple but still look good! 

 


 

This next dress is by *Second Moon* and has some neat things with it. It comes with some secondary attachments that put small moving light sources aimed at the dress that makes the texture sparkle. You can also make the dress a extremely sheer if you have a desire to do so. But it will still sparkle! 

 


 

Next up the first of two gowns by Les Encantades called Claribelle . It comes in a lot of colors and you can mix and match parts of it. I just love the almost butterfly wing look to the overskirt. I paired with it a new item but not a relay item from Petrichor. Its a headdress and other jewelery items called Zaedalin. I could not resist the rose theme! You can change the color of so many different parts. Its just lovely! and comes with so much more then what I have on. 

 


 

This second dress by Les Encantades is called Ithiriae. Again you can change different parts of it. I paired with it a crown also by the same designer called Meliae's Crown. 

 


 

And last some items to rez out! All by Roped Passions. in the back is Quartz Be With You Purple, then from left to right, it is Brandi Stained Glass Hope Butterfly, Peace And Quartz Plant Purple and Toadstooling Around Lights Purple. I just love the faeness to it all!

The air in Samsara hangs heavy with the memory of scents and echoes of rituals performed centuries ago. The remnants of intricate carvings on weathered temple walls depict scenes of birth, life, death and the promise of renewal. A sense of timelessness pervades the atmosphere, as though the very essence of rebirth is woven into the fabric of the jungle.

Stepping from the temperate forest of Junction into the steamy jungle of Samsara is an experience! Right away you feel transported to ancient ruins tucked away in perhaps India.

Fallen statues covered in moss peek out at you when you head to the massive falls. A trip up the hill takes you to old carved stone buildings and back down another hill to where the Lit fest is held. Then going back up you may find many other surprises tucked away in the jungle wilds.
