The Watcher Roams Nova Nadiya

Having grown tired of the stares of the Frostweald villagers, the Watcher decides maybe It’s time to explore furhter afield. Having heard of an icy lake in a place called Nova Nadiya, she decides to investigate. She may like the cold but she still needs shelter, blizzards are horrid whatever your preferred climate, so she will have to find somewhere before she decides to move.

Entering the area there are signs of Human habitation, hopefully they stay there.
It looks pretty peaceful
But signs of old civilization suggest otherwise
Oh what’s this?
Uh Oh..Dragons!
They seem to be sleeping, or at least not interested in her
A possible candidate for a new home?
And another?

There seems to be a few possibilities for a new home, though having dragons nearby might be an issue. Alternatively they may keep people away and only the most determined would seek her out.

I wanted anothe opportunity to show off these fab items from Fantasy Faire! (Including the new skin since the previous post)
So you need a cute headshot for that too!

Mysterious Watcher of Frostweald

They’re scared of her in Frostweald, she’s not entirely sure why.

Maybe it’s the fact she can wear barely anything in the climate that makes them wrap up in furs and boots, but she can’t help it. They have species here that are “cold-blooded” that bask in the sunshine and “warm-blooded” mammals; if there was a description for her race the humans would probably call them “furnace-blooded” or some such nonsense.

She needs the cold in the way that reptiles need sunshine. Which is why she stood on the top of the hill above the town, feet planted deep in the snow and a cold breeze to cool her. Some of the locals can’t comprehend this so they’re scared. Those that did understand the temperature thing were scared of her abailities; this made a lot more sense. Of course the fact they weren’t entirely sure what she could actually do, other than not freeze to death helped a lot to preserve her image of mystery.

The Skin Party – Comedy and Tragedy

Each year at Fantasy Faire Alia Baroque of Fallen Gods Inc releases a pair of limited edition avatar skins. These aren’t just limited to the Faire though, they’re limited to a single 2 hour party(technically called the “Jail n Bail of Alia Baroque”) after which they won’t be available again. It was this party is therefore very well attended. This year I was able to go.

It wasn’t even known where in the Opera Faire region the party would take place, til the last minute. So a number of people gathered in what seemed to be a likely spot for a party, to wait.

Time ticked by and everyone chatted until the dreaded Region Restart Gong sounded. So much for reserving a space in the region.

Everyone returned and made their way to the party’s location, which turned out to be a platform floating above the water. Here we saw the skins displayed and many bought and started wearing them.

This year there were also vendors in the neighbouring region as well, which was good from a fundraising perspective.

Exploring Opera

This Region designed by Alia Baroque of Fallen Gods Inc was kept under wraps for some time. The notice that it was “Finished” was several days after the Faire was open. Those with early access saw a rather amusing sign at the region border with the heading “Dont’t Panic!” (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy) requesting no photos were taken, but also another Sci-Referene “This is Not the Opera you are looking for”. It was worth the wait though! Here are just a few snapshots of the region, but I suggest you go have an explore and experience it for yourself.

Blogger Challenge: My New Shiny – Moon Reflections of Aquarius

I featured a couple of items from Second Moon in a previous post, I couldn’t help wanting to use them again with this dress also of theirs. It’s gorgeously reflective in the right light, such as at the Isle of Aquarius. Second Moon is an old store that’s making a comeback, having originally opened in 2007 but closed in 2013. Now it’s back with some lovely shiny stuff!

Blogger Challenge: I Remember The Rave That Never Happened

It’s tricky to remember something that everyone in attendance will deny it taking place, but as they say “if there’s no pictures, it didn’t happen”. I fortunately do have pictures! This certainly was a challlenge though due to the sheer number of photos I’d taken. But I’d say that’s the sign of a good not-a-party-at-all, if you want to capture every moment.

Waiting….while the Regin rebooted..

The New Girl at Flambois Academy

The new girl has arrived at Flambois Academy of Magic and she’s already causing trouble. She has a black eye to show for it, but her opponent came off worse, meaning they got the blame and punishment for the fight.

She pours over the books in the library when anyone’s around, but the feet go up as promptly as they’ve left. It’s not that she’s a slacker, she just has inherited natural power, there’s just not much the books can teach her. Her problem is theory and lore tests, so she learns as much of that parrot-fashion to scrape through, she was admitted on the strengths of her practical skill after all.

Safe Haven Oasis

Emerging from her forest homeland she enters the Oasis town to find it eerily empty, quiet of the hustle and bustle she might have found here normally. She wanders here and there, the stores still open and full of wares for purchase, but no customers as yet. No doubt they will arrive and shower the merchants with coin in the the near future. She hopes a merchant may show themselves, because she’s in need of somethig to cover up from the brighter sun than the shadows of the forest.

The Broken Path of Aquarius

The mermaid loved to swim near the city where the path had been damaged. The magic that had held it in place above the water persisted, so the pieces were suspended in mid-fall below the waters surface. The glow of magic reflected so beautifully through the water it made for a lovely swim.

No-one is quite sure any more what caused the path to break, it must have been a considerable impact to be stronger than the magic, but then the path was only intended for the passage of humans and other land-dwellers. The common speculation is that a visiting giant had tried to cross, given the scale of a statue on the shore. Giants had not been seen in these parts of the Fairelands within living memory and the Fey lived very long lives.

The New Guard at House Strife

Standing guard on the street corner she tries to get used to the weight of the swords. She’s trained with them, she’s competent in using them, but wearing them for an extened period of time? Her hips were getting sore. She draws them and gives them a twirl, she’s not meant to draw them unless she’s actually going to use them, but she needs to ease the weight for a moment. How did she end up here? She always thought she’d end up going to the House of Testament, she liked books and history! But oh no, no such luck. When she came of age she took the Test and it said Strife! So she’d done the training, got the House protective tattoos and gear. She really shouldn’t complain, being responsibilbe for the citizens safety was something to be proud of, but why did the swords have to be so damn heavy!
