Not all those who wander are Lost

On Tuesday I attended the Jail n Bail event of Dacien and Marcel Blackwood, builders of the Nox Aetherna region in this years Fantasy Faire. The Fairelands Watch hauled them in for questioning over a suspected Ruckus? To the soundtrack provided DJ Ketsui Naiboo, Fairelanders gathered to cast their votes as to whether giant bats should be allowed to roam the Faire, by paying RFL Donation vendors. As always at Jail n Bail events, a fun time was had and plenty of donations made!
Time has finally arrived for you to come to the Faire! Welcome in one and all!

The Airship awaits her, hovering just above Bloodrose Castle waiting to set sail for the Fairelands. Of course the downside of airships like this one is boarding them. Since landing can be tricky, it’s much easier to take a balloon up to it, which gives you a fabulous view of the majestic vessel.

24 Hours to go and counting down!
The Mists are growing thin as the time when the Fairelands and the Mortal Realm will overlap for a spell approaches. Some select mortals, Builders and Merchants, have been permitted ahead to prepare the way for the masses of Fairelanders that will join them soon.
There is another group who may enter the Faire, at an allocated time to herald its arrival the day before; the Chroniclers.
We Chroniclers are reminded each year as the Faire draws ever closer, not to enter until the signal is given by the Lady Sonya. Presumably something nasty happens to errant Chroniclers that disobey this creed, but we don’t know what.
I purely by chance was reading the relevant section in the Bloggers instructions notecard at the same time as I unpacked this outfit by Jazabelle from the Blogger room. It’s called “The Sword of Justice” and made me wonder about those past errant Chroniclers, might the scene above be similar to that of their Judgement?

See you at the Faire!
It’s always good to start with a clean slate when starting something new, I’m sure most people would agree with that. At Fantasy Faire however you collect a LOT of stuff, especially if you complete the annual Quest. Sadly some may or may not see virtual daylight from within the depths of your Inventory, remaining in their boxes for eternity.
So this year I’m attending an “Unpacking Party”, which I believe involves everyone digging out all the stuff from last year that you never opened, to the accompony of DJ’s and in the company of other Fairelanders.
Well, I did get some stuff unpacked in the hour I was there, but there’s still plenty to be dug out! So not quite a clean slate yet, but who knows I might have time to do the rest before the Faire…maybe?
The Fairelanders of Fantasy Faire gather to explore other realms in Second Life. I shall definitely be attending!
Unfortunately the time was moved by 4 hours to 5pmSLT instead of 1pm so I won’t be able to attend.

The Fairelands have faded back into the Mists for another year, but the Company of Faire Folk will be continuing to ride out … or walk, fly, amble, swim, or otherwise navigate as you prefer. This year, we are planning a series of off-season Tours, giving the Company of Faire Folk a chance to meet […]
The Company of Faire Folk welcome you
This is the first time I’ve written something like this and it really is a challenge, so please bear with me.
This is my 4th year as a Faire Chronicler and I’m proud to be such, but this year is very different. I previously have done this because it’s a great cause to support, obviously I’d known people who had Cancer, but previously not lost someone close to it. My Aunt passed shortly before this year’s Faire and she is missed. She was not geographically close to me, so seeing her in person was pretty rare, but I knew she’d be there on the end of the phone. I probably took that for granted because I didn’t speak to her often either. This may bring up the question of “how were you close then?”, the answer is that she had a great impact on my childhood. My family would visit theirs and many happy summers were spent with my cousins when I was growing up. I could always talk to her, usually back then to complain about my mum, as youngsters and teens are prone to doing.
Obviously later we talked about more adult topics, but it was those summer years that formed a trust bond you think will never be broken, but her cancer did that far too soon. She was a shrewd business woman that passed that know-how onto my cousins, who have become successful in their own right because of it.
So I Relay in her memory, in the hopes that fewer aunts and mothers are lost to the dreadful disease of Cancer. I’d never cried for her loss until I wrote this, I’m not good at showing my emotions, but putting these thoughts on virtual paper has allowed me to let them out. The thought of her not being there at our family gatherings makes my screen go blurry.
I was uncertain what I might use as an image for this post, if any at all, but then I remembered one of her wishes; she wanted people to dress in bright colours at her funeral and her favourite colour was Blue, so I searched the Faire for something suitable.

So this year we have a very quaint looking village for our Quest location. It looks far too safe, it must have a dark secret, surely? After all our Quest is called “The Seven Layers of Joy”, which to me isn’t dissimilar from “Nine Circles of Hell”, perhaps the Unweaver can’t count. I’ll play along and dress suitably for the setting and wait until something unpleasant happens..off to see the Bard Queen!
I wrote the above early last week,but then I got carried away with the Quest and forgot to take pictures as I went along!
As it turns out, the layers refer to those of a big cake, so whether it is Hell or not depends if you hate baking or happen to be on a gluten-free diet!
Fortunately since then the Quest Express HUD has been released. For a 5000L$ donation this will let you skip as much or as little as you want of the Quest. Since the Faire is now into Extra Time granted by the Lindens, it’s just in time for you to whiz around and grab all those prizes!
You can grab the Expresss HUD HERE at Fairelands Junction.
I suggest you enable the “auto-accept inventory” option in your viewer before going to the end, to save to having to accept around 139 inventory offers. You’ll likely have to relog twice however for all of them to arrive, due to them all arriving so quickly.

I saw this complete outfit costume from Fallen Gods and knew that its perfect home was in Ogham Grove.

Yesterday was the second annual Fantasy Faire Masked Ball, as usual it was very busy. Held over two Regions there were over 150 avatars in attendance,all dressed in their best finery. As many will know it’s quite tricky to be in such an environment without computer stability issues. However I was able to capture a few images to show those that weren’t able to attend, or did attend but were unable to view the whole scene.
