Fantasy Faire 2012 is on its way and I’m about to unleash some information, and copy stuff from press releases and their blog! Hurrah! Even if you’re not into fantasy roleplaying, this is a superb event, last year there was fun, games, live music and fabulous events along with beautiful scenery and it’s all for a good cause too, last year’s event raised a very impressive USD$26,917 for Relay For Life, which was a Fantasy Faire record.
This year the event will run between April 21st – 29th, but let’s get the ball rolling with some posts on what has been announced so far. I’ll start with reposting the blog post from the official site about the sims that will be at this year’s event, you can read the original blog post here.
FANTASY FAIRE 2012
This year’s Fantasy Faire will include eight lavishly landscaped shopping sims created by some of the top designers in Second Life. While each sim with have a unique feel to it, they will be connected as one Fairelands, a Fantasy continent. Whether your style be steampunk or fae, mer or gothic you will find yourself at home on several, if not all, the sims and enjoy exploring them all.
The sims:
Devil’s Locket (by Lauren Thibaud/ Piedras Chama/ Nonna Hedges)
A small chain of islands that earned its name not only for the treacherous navigation of its waters and the amazing, but explosive, firegems that were mined from its volcanic depths.
Jungle Bungle (by Mayah Parx)
A living forest where candies lay like pebbles along the edge of a chocolate lake and the smiling trees dance in excitement as they watch the fae race rose petals on the currents of the wind.
Meandervale (by Marcus Inkpen/ Sharni Azalee)
A surreal meadow where the streams meander as well as thoughts and, in fact, reality itself.
Ruins of Nu Orne (by Elicio Ember)
A lost stone city of an ancient civilization, hidden in an exotic fantasy jungle where vegetation overgrows the magnificent ruins, and cupolas and spiraling buildings merge with the gigantic ferns and mushrooms.
Shadow’s Claw (by Laufey Markstein)
A mountainous terrain thick with the scent of pine and covered with rocky crags that ride all manner of secrets, possibly even dragons.
Shifting Sands (by Kayle Matzerath)
The Hourglass holding the Sands of Time has cracked and spilled creating a desert with untold treasures awaiting discoveries by the intrepid explorer.
Siren’s Secret (by Elicio Ember)
Caught between lava vents on one side and the bridges and towers of The Tides on the other, these rocky sea caves are a refuge for the sea creatures who hide in the depths of the kelp forest.
The Tides (by Alia Baroque)
The silent ruins of a lost society who harnessed the power of the strong and heavy sea and ruled across the waves.
