Fantasy Faire 2024 Sim - Sunstone Oasis

SUNSTONE OASIS | SLURL

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!













Samsara - creators

Click here for a Shopping Guide to all stores on Samsara 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 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!

Fantasy Faire 2024 Sim - Samsara

SAMSARA | SLURL

Region by DaveOSaurus

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.
