When Darkness Falls

• Though Ostara's Altar focuses more on light colors and brightness than the other Dark Passions events, there are plenty of items for those who only wear black because nothing darker has been created.

• EXCLUSIVE Rina dress from Blue Blood [6 colors with black / Reborn Legacy F - Perky - Petite]
• Ostara Crown from Faunus [3 colors Hunt Items] 
• EXCLUSIVE Hexumbra Esme Eye Makeup [8 colors EvoX BOM]
• Miamai Blooming Facepaint Cheek Decor [EvoX BOM tintable]
• EXCLUSIVE Tealeaf Treasures Spring Rings [6 metals / Legacy M or F, Reborn]
• Eventyra Spring Magic Dust Nails [6 colors / Hunt item]

• I added a tattoo not available @ Ostara's Altar 2026, but from Ostara's Altar 2024. That's one of the nicest things about the items from Dark Passions events: the quality and styles are so good that they become part of your personality. Rebirth Tattoo from Leave Your Mark Tattoo. You can find it in their Main Store.

• Wings from Aii ~ Ancient Wings in sizes XS - XL. Wear them feathered or not with optional Jewelry and Armor. I'm wearing size M in their most primative form.[20 preset Wing colors + hud driven Feathers, Armor and Jewelry]

The Story of Gothilocks

• Once upon a time there was a little Goth who loved getting close to nature. One day while wandering in the woods, she found a big stump with an odd door and some windows in the side making it look like an enchanting little house. What might lie behind that door? Should she enter?
• It's up to you to decide what happens next! The EXCLUSIVE Forest Window Kit* from Starlight Designs includes the Forest Door and 3 styles of Windows, which allow you to make any basic shape look like a house. The animated Forest Swing* and Forest Tree Stump* add to the fun.
• EXCLUSIVE Lunaria Magic Candle Circle* can be resized. 

• Cute pastel and black outfit is Shiloh* from The Little Bat with 2 skirt colors, 8 graphics and gartered Leggings.

• Discover the makings of your own story @ Ostara's Altar!
