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.
