Fantasy Faire ~ Untamed Ink


A Poem from UNTAMED INK
(A nicely illustrated version is available 
in special kiosks in the region 
example shown in the picture below)

In a town drawn in black and white,
every word was law, every wrong made right.
If it wasn’t printed, it did not exist.
Truth was whatever he chose to twist.

He owned the ink.
He owned the page.
He caged the world in a paper cage,
smiling streets in crooked line,
every soul by his design.

He grew bored of his perfect game,
so he called a thing with no true name,
asked for power, asked for more,
asked to own the world he tore.

The Devil smiled. No deal was made.
It simply opened what he’d caged.
From below, where silence slept,
something stirred the town had kept.

Great arms of ink dragged through the street,
painting truth where lies would meet.
You can’t print what won’t obey.
Ink remembers anyway.

I visited Untamed Ink during the Jail & Bail 
for Stabitha Nightwish
and a clowder of the Basement Kittehs.
 
To say it was "controlled chaos" is being generous,
but everybody seemed to be having a good time 
and were donating either to keep the miscreants
locked up or to let them go.
 
All donations went to Relay for Life, so it was a win for all concerned.

Fantasy Faire ~ Too Many Little Ships

  • In the midst of all the fun and excitement of Fantasy Faire, I took a moment to light a memorial candle for my son who lost his battle with the Unweaver a year ago today. He fought bravely and with determination for far longer than anyone thought possible and was content when it was time to go.  

  • Fantasy Faire gives those struggling with cancer in SL a place to temporarily forget the pain, for the caregivers to catch their breath and for those who mourn to do so openly while feeling the support of others who truly understand. 

  • Blessings on all those who participate in Relay for Life. Someday there will be a cure and the little ships will find a harbor. Till that day comes, we'll keep fighting!

Fantasy Faire ~ Heian + Aii's Spirit Fox

  • HEIAN is a fantasy region inspired by the spirit and worldview of Japan’s Heian period. In this era, people did not see the visible and unseen worlds as strictly separated. Instead, unseen presences were felt close to everyday life. 

  • Within HEIAN, oni and yōkai appear throughout the world. They are not portrayed as monsters, but as forms shaped by human emotions—uncertainty, desire, hesitation, anger—that have taken on visible presence. In classical tales, these beings are not separate from humanity, but exist alongside it, reflecting inner states rather than external threats.

  • In Oriental mythology, fox spirits (狐狸精, huli jing) are believed to be intelligent foxes that gain magical powers as they grow older. According to traditional belief, a fox can live for hundreds of years, eventually acquiring the ability to transform into human form. These spirits can be malevolent, benevolent, or neutral and are often associated with mystery, cunning, and otherworldly allure.
  • The fox’s ability to transform represents flexibility, cunning, and the idea that appearances can be deceiving. Fox spirits are often associated with feminine energy (yin), seduction, and mystical powers. The number of tails signify their expanded knowledge and magical prowess, with 9 tails being the ultimate.
  • In Buddhist and Taoist traditions, fox spirits sometimes act as intermediaries between humans and deities or as embodiments of karmic or cosmic forces.
  • Aii's shop in Fantasy Faire introduces their newest creation, Spirit Fox * for Legacy F and Reborn with huge huds of color and texture options. Claws, Ears, Tail, Geta and the Body Set are available separately or all together in a Fatpack. I'm wearing tattoos I already had (I have a long history of being a Kitsune) but check out the tattoos available in the Aerth part of the same shop. Demos for everything @ both the Fantasy Faire Shop and the MAIN STORE.
  • Skin is PAX from enLight *. A variety of colors including the latest fantasy colors are available with 100% donation going to RFL. 
  • Floro Tien Parasol comes with hold animation for either hand [13 colors + 8 Phoenix patterns in the hud] *

Fantasy Faire ~ Ebonfall Aetherium

  • Ah, the studies of magic… The delicate skills of aetherweaving, conjuration, transfiguration and more. Bending the very essence of the world to mend or maim. If you seek such knowledge there is no better place than the Aetherium. Enjoy your visit but be prepared; it's dark and the ways twist back on themselves. Enter with a light heart or at least a lighted lantern!

  • “Some secrets protect themselves and there are no secrets as well protected as those kept by the Order. That island is its own fortress and if they don’t want you there? You won’t get in. If by some fluke you do? Well… you won’t get back out.”

Fantasy Faire ~ Amon Galadrann


  • What can you do on a sleepless night? When Fantasy Faire is open, there is an obvious answer to that question!  
  • The Fairelands are somewhat less crowded between midnight and 6 am slt. It's a good time to explore. 


  • I opened my Fantasy Faire 2026 Teleport Hud (available at all the major landing points throughout the Fairelands), pointed my cursor and found myself in Amon Galadrann an ancient land occupying the space between where light meets shadow, where nightmares can be dreams and dreams can be nightmares. 
  • The main landing zone is high above ground level across a sky bridge from the Temple. It's a lovely region that will definitely give you your daily 10K steps. There are stairways...and more stairways...and yet more stairways... There are stores hidden away along the walkways surrounding the Temple, as well as in the Elven village at the bottom. 
  • I reached the village just as the sun was rising and it was glorious! Enjoy your visit!


  • Featured today are Poet's Heart Sharona Dress with pauldron-style metal Shoulders. [Sky Pack includes 14 dress colors, 9 metals 100% RFL donation]
  • Jewelry from Schelm includes Azure Bless Earrings and Seiryu Tiara. [Hud-controlled gems and inlaid colors on the Tiara]
