Fantasy Faire 2026: Requiem

Fantasy Faire 2026: Requiem

With only two more days left of the Faire, the time has come to wander Alia Baroque’s Requiem. Here, among mausoleums, graveyards and solemn statuary, we are reminded of death and reminded to live. The sim is undeniably gothic and as such I could not resist wandering through it like an unquiet ghost who, lost and bewildered, finds a tombstone with her own name on it.

The sinfully red gown (which can be clicked to raise the hem in a very naughty fashion) is by SoapBerry. I have not tried them before but I could not resist this gown, which also includes a bloody version of each colour. The torch, just like the lantern I showed in an earlier post, is from Titans, another brand that I have not purchased from earlier. I am also wearing a necklace from On a Lark which can function as a scripted collar or just be worn as a regular necklace.

I tried to really make an effort this year to browse new stores at the Faire and even if it can be overwhelming I can definitely recommend it. I went through a few sims at a time, to keep myself from rushing. So make the most of the last few days and don’t forget to pay special attention to the RFL vendors to keep raising money for the fight against cancer.

Fantasy Faire 2026: Exploring the Aetherium

Fantasy Faire 2026: Exploring the Aetherium

Ebonfall Aetherium (sponsored by Quills & Curiosities) is a grand creation, a place of magic and learning hidden within a mountain. Staircases that seem made for giants wind up through dark halls and at the core there is a mystical garden full of swirling energy. This is the place I chose to explore next, adopting the guise of a student of the Aetherium. For such purposes, I carried with me a book of spells by Vortech and a candlestick from Titans to light my way through the darker passages.

For my garb I chose an elaborate gown of brocaded silk, with a pearl-adorned bodice. Made by Petrichor in collaboration with Belle Epoque, this gown offers so many beautiful colours and combinations and it is made for a range of bodies. The deep neckline offered the perfect framing for a lovely necklace from Ashbourne & Burleigh Couturier.

The dramatic long hair, which frames the face so beautifully and has a soft curl at the ends, is not from the Faire but its beautiful for fantasy looks. It is a Truth Collective release from Truth and Wasabi.
