The-Way-of-the-Sun

The Way of the Sun…possessor of a special magic.  Its fire and light never end, holding true through every turn of the hours.  Even when we can’t see it, the Sun shines and rises anew, and always forever in our hearts and souls.

These glorious Fairelands remain open until May 7th (although special events have ended; yet the RFL vendors, shopping, and the sims remain active and do so beckon). So far, the formal programming continues to close on an astonishing note.  By the end of Day 11, over 10 million lindens have been raised, the equivalent of $42,000 USD!!!

Wow…seriously, wow…

I have no idea how the World Creators, how all the many who toil and give form and shape to these Fairelands pull off such an amazing experience year after year…and topping themselves each time, no less.  There’s such incredible heart etched into all of this and with such loving care.  I thank you dear Fairelands organizers, builders, creators, coordinators, designers, writers, performers.  Thank you thank you thank you for creating such magnificent substance for our community’s shared passion and for providing such magic for all of us to bring the life of the Sun into.

The Way of the Sun…we shine on always, brightly so, ye fellow warrior Stars. Ever brightly so, dear Fairelanders.

Day-10-Sanoria-4

As is tradition, I am a day late yet again!  These pics are from Day 10, but today is Day 11, typically the last day of the glorious Fairelands.  Yet magic springs eternal here because yesterday The Fairelands Worldmakers displayed signs to announce that these Fairelands have been extended another week!  After last week’s Jail and Bail, methinks the Lindens quake in fear of the mighty Paws of the Law and generously granted another week to these magical lands.  So Day 11 upon us today and from what I see on the official weblog, total lindens raised so far are knocking on the 9 million linden mark and may have busted open that door, yay!  Yesterday’s events included the Masked Ball, which welcomed 70 Fairelanders on one sim, and two other huge hordes of grand souls on two other sims.  It was tricky to take pics of that event without crashing, but I managed to get one of two persons whose looks I just adore.  In truth everyone looked fantastic as always, I just found myself mesmerized by these two (last pic).  Wish I had details for those looks but I don’t…you bet I’ll swarm the Fairelands to see if I can discover them though…that is if I don’t get distracted by the amazing builds and multitude of things to do!  Another week!!!  HUZZAH!

  • Warrior Outfit (including helmet head and bow):  Intense Power outfit including leg harnesses, gloves, skirt, top, bow, helmet head from Bella Epoque.   This look is aptly named because it takes some *intense* playing of this gacha machine to get the helmet head (which is Rare).   Most definitely a cool look though.  Also this headwear is more than a helmet, it’s one piece that includes the mesh head specifically for this look.  (Location in Pools of Ethuil)

Day-7-Falls-of-Hope

I’m so mesmerized by the builds this year.  They are always gorgeous, always incredible.  I have no idea how the World Creators sustain their vision so beautifully as they have year after year.   And yet flying around as a DragonFae through the Falls of Hope brought of bit of Fairelands twinkle to my eye.  That is until Big Daddy Dragon cast me into his turquoise orb.  And then I remembered…Hope lives here.  Hope and courage, love and fellowship.  Ever, we face into challenges together.  Ever, we rise together as one.
