Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Strange Companions

Strange Companions

They wander through the misty woods together, the horse wearing saddle and bridle but with no rider in sight and a tattered shroud covering much of its curious, shining coat, the black wolf padding along at its side in silence but with unnerving awareness in its eyes.

A final post to say farewell to this year’s Dog & Pony Show, ending in just a few days. I am wearing the final new Teegle release, the Wolf Avatar, and I’ve prettied up my Pegasus (wings hidden) with the spooky Nitemare Shroud from Static (you’ll want this one for Halloween, for sure) and one of the gorgeous fantasy coats from Auro.

Fantasy Faire 2025: Ghost in the Grotto

Delving deep into Yuum Baalal Grotto is not for the faint of heart. There is old magic here, the air is thick with it, and you never know when something long gone might rise again.

A Ghostmare seemed like the steed of choice here, with mysterious markings across her shining coat (by new-to-me brand Auro) and her beautiful tack (from the Flying Pony) something out of a fairy tale. And for our intrepid explorer, fine armour with a mirror sheen to it (courtesy of Mesh Entity) and a magical elven sword (by Sarer-S-Creations). Even so, one must tread carefully.

The Ghostmare series of coats are all quite lovely, with PBR as well as fallback textures. There are also special RFL editions available. The Russell tack has a great fantasy look to it and that is always great to have on hand when a more modern set would look out of place. It, too, has lovely PBR textures. The same goes for the armour, which really has a superb sheen in the right light. And the sword is a very pretty fantasy sword which includes a HUD with some cool magic effects.
