Tales from Inverness - A beginning - Ava's Chronicles in SecondLife

Tales of Inverness is a Scottish Highlands Roleplay region, set around the year 1780, which is around the time period of the first season of the (then) Amazon series, Outlander is set. I’m going to include some of the introduction notecard below:

Dearest ladies, gentlemen, lairds, and hopeful debutantes,

Welcome to the world of Tales of Inverness, where the glittering social ambitions of London’s Marriage Mart meets the rugged beauty and fierce loyalties of the Scottish Highlands.

Our story unfolds in the year 1780, amidst clan rivalries, noble intrigue, whispered scandals, grand balls, arranged marriages, secret romances, political tensions, and Highland traditions.

I heard about this place through a friend and being a fan of things Scottish, I had to go check it out.

The arrival point is in a skybox providing a bit of information about the place and interestingly has three exit points.

One is clearly labelled as such and walking through it will teleport you to the main street. The second exit is less obvious but more fun in my opinion, but you’d need to have seen Outlander to find it; it’s in the stone circle off to one side. Walking into the large vertical stone will teleport you to similar stone circle on the ground, a short distance from the town. The third exit is through a tree stump archway that takes you to a fairy ring on the edge of town.

You will find all the usual buildings you’d expect in the town; a church, courthouses, bakery, various shops, the Tavern and town houses.

Currently two of the shops is occupied and it’s hoped other creators of appropriate clothing & apparel will occupy the others. There are plenty of opportunities for taking up a character role in the various locations.

There is a Midsummer Masked Ball event scheduled for 26th of August at Noon SLT, which would be a great opportunity to come and meet the existing community members and see if you’d like to be part of it.
