Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

The Raven Woman

May 18, 2026

A small settlement near the edge of the woods, and a pale-haired woman in black and red, rumored to understand the speech of birds. Certainly, there is a crow that is often seen with her.

I am in love with the Sunniva gown from Rakshasa. It has such beautiful detailing and so many texture options. You can also choose between long or short sleeves. Here, I went with short to better show off the leather gloves from HopScotch. These are actually for men only, but I think they look pretty good on a woman too, especially if I imagine them as sturdier gloves for handling a raven or perhaps a weapon?

The gown and the gloves are from We Love Role-Play and the same goes for the fence and the buildings, a whole kit from XIV which includes several different buildings. Sturdy and rustic, they make up the perfect foundation for creating a village.

Fantasy Faire 2023: The Wild Wanderers

April 21, 2023

The Fantasy Faire is open and I’d like to invite you to join me in little bit of exploring of Nysaris, one of the sixteen shopping regions of the Faire. Accompanying me on my walk around Nysaris are my two companions, a wise owl and a fierce wolf.

As usual, you will find credits at the end of the post, including direct slurls to the stores at the Fantasy Faire.

Fantasy Faire 2022: A Respectable Woman

April 25, 2022

She came to Bassett Town at dusk, driving a trader’s cart pulled by a piebald mare. There was a raven sitting on her shoulder and she held her rifle in a loving way, but she was dressed like a respectable woman, with a large cross around her neck.

Fantasy Faire 2020 - Wood Walker

April 27, 2020

What wanders the lush woods of Queensgarden? A creature of legends, an elusive wood walker. Her skin is nut brown and dappled like a deer’s, she has long, claw-like nails and eyes like those of a cat, and she wears clothing made of leaves. At her side, a large wolf, a companion but nevertheless a wild animal.

With everything on offer at the Fantasy Faire—from skins to companion creatures—it is easy to create a fantastical character of your own, whether wholly original or, as in this case, loosely based on a pre-existing source. And remember, you will be shopping for a good cause if you buy from the RFL vendors that raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Today also marks the beginning of the first part of this year’s Faireland’s Quest, don’t miss it!
