Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

The Perils of Power

September 05, 2025

This ended up so much more moody than I had imagined at first. The regal lady, with her ornate headdress and dramatic gown (I love how the horns of the Escoffion by Grasshopper Street are echoed in the Melisende gown by Ruxy), seems both powerful and vulnerable, drinking her wine in solitude even though there are other glasses on the table. Did she expect someone to join her? What happened to keep them away?

The Escoffion is closely modelled on an actual historical headdress and can be extensively customised with textures and tints. It comes in a rigged and an unrigged version. The Melisende gown also offers several texture options for different parts of the gown.

The Labyrinth set of wine glasses, bottle and decanter is made by Cerridwen’s Cauldron and the Darkmoore chair and the table are by Noctis. Like the escoffion and the gown, they are available at the new round of We Love Role-Play, and everything is discounted for the duration of the event.

I am not sure the royal couple are entirely pleased with each other…
