Ostara's Altar ~ Fae and Elven

You will find a number of Fae and Elven mods at Ostara's Altar. 

Faunus will introduce you to an elven race that I hadn't encountered before:

The Eladrin are a subrace of elves in Dungeons & Dragons, specifically those native to the Feywild, a realm of unpredictable beauty and magic. They are deeply connected to the seasons and often exhibit traits and appearances reflecting the season they are attuned to.

Faunus brings an EXCLUSIVE mod to create an Eladrin persona for human mesh bodies. Purchase individual pieces or get everything in the FATPACK with 25% off. 6 flower colors. Male and female versions are available; try the DEMO. 

The female dress is sold separately.

Ostara's Altar April 12 ~ 26

It's time for Ostara's Altar, a seasonal event featuring Second Life's favorite Gothic, Fantasy and Alternative creators, who have gathered to bring a touch of spring color and lightness to our mystical world.

Ostara, also known as Eostre, is the Anglo-Saxon goddess of dawn, spring, rebirth, and renewal. She represents fertility, new beginnings, and the awakening of nature after winter.

One story recounts how Eostre found a bird with its wings frozen to the earth. She saved it by transforming it into a hare, which retained the ability to lay eggs. The transformed hare was so grateful to be alive its eggs appeared in bright colors and patterns. 

Join the Hunt for mystic eggs like the one I'm holding in the second picture. No hud or hints necessary. Hunt Eggs may be hidden anywhere in the event area. The Hare has been everywhere! Pay the L$25 finder's fee to add the contents to your collection.

Whether your magic is dark and mysterious, light and ethereal, or you just enjoy wandering through the bounty of spring while shopping, you'll find clothing, body mods, home furnishings and accessories to fit your needs, all in a beautifully landscaped region where you can take photos in themed scenarios.

What lies beneath - a Tribute to Grendel's Mother

Grendel's Mother is a tertiary character in the epic Old English poem, Beowulf. The character is not named in the poem and all we know about her is that she lives with her monstrous son in a flooded grotto and tries to warn her son about the dangerous human warriors he might encounter if he leaves the safety of their lair. Grendel ignores his mother's advice and they both die as a result.

I decided the Mother wasn't a monster in the usual sense, just a very powerful female shapeshifter with a few unusual features, who represents the dangers awaiting anyone who seeks to confront the unknown, either in the world or in themselves...

• As always, Aii provides the clothing and accessories to bring my fantasies to life! 
• You'll find the unisex outfit, BlackMage, at Midnight Order till February 20.  PBR textures give each piece an extra touch of realism. There's a huge hud of colors and textures to personalize the look. 
• Demos are available @ Midnight Order and in the Main Store.
• Aii's Mythical Mega Makeup Pack lends a unique touch to any look with Forhead art and Eyeshadow in 6 styles and 7 color combinations in the MAIN STORE.
• Aii & Ego Forbidden Ritual Animesh Tentacles in the MAIN STORE.

• Adding an eerie otherworldly touch are the Ghost Mage Hands. Imagine malevolent spiritual hands compelled to serve from beyond the veil. What might happen when they turn hostile to their binding mage?
