Fianna Rua is Irish or Gaeilge for Red Deer. This is a fictional part of Ireland for my own exploration of my Irish heritage.
Red deer are our largest and the only native species to Ireland. They are believed to have had a continuous presence in Ireland since the end of the last Ice Age.
Some folks might remember this land from grids long past when another version of it was called Ravenbaile. Fianna Rua is it's rebirth.
When you arrive you will land on a smaller island nicknamed but never formally named Gobachán which means Puffin. The puffins are care of Dabici Staulino. Walk down the old stairs to the dock to get to Fianna Rua proper by touching the teleport sign.
This project is still very much under construction. Don’t mind my mess as I figure out its direction:)

As with all my regions, Fianna Rua is a safe space and very 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Agender plus many more) positive. Ireland has come a long way in terms of supports for the community and harm reduction. Historically, not the best on all of this, but becoming better and safer everyday.
There is a wooden Puffin statue in the Old Bridge Inn up on the shelf that's also available. And these fun Punk Puffin tshirts in the clothing shop at the corner of Merchant and Mermaid's Lane. The Puffin graphic on the shirt comes Pixel Labs on Pixabay. The shirts are for Classic Avatars but textures are included for BOM users.
Puffins are charasmatic birds; sometimes nicknamed the clowns of the sea. While globally they're not classified as endangered they are vulnerable to extinction they suffer declining populations due to climate change and food shortages related to overfishing. It should be noted that Eurpean Puffins are listed as endangered. Pollution, oil spills, hunting and invasive predators are all factors in this.
Love Puffins today:)
 | NightshadeCeres: the thing is: i wanna have all your shirts in RL, not only in pixels? 1 hour ago |
With tofu scramble, a plant based sausage patty and tempeh bacon instead of the meats.
I also stuck the vegan and carnivore at the same table because those are always great conversations:)
At Doyle's.

"Fifteens are a popular, no-bake Northern Irish traybake named for their core ingredients: 15 digestive biscuits, 15 marshmallows, 15 glacé cherries, and sweetened condensed milk. This sweet, sticky, and chewy treat is rolled in coconut, chilled, and sliced. They are easy to prepare, perfect for tea, and often served as a nostalgic treat."
On the right in that same section you can see Irish Cream Horns.
"Irish cream horns are a classic pastry made from flaky puff pastry wrapped around a cone-shaped mold, baked until golden, and filled with whipped cream or pastry cream. They are often dusted with powdered sugar, offering a light, crunchy texture paired with a soft, sweet filling."
This batch doesn't have powdered sugar but I assure you they are still delicious:) And all are free to copy/buy for 0:)

"An Ulster fry is a traditional Northern Irish breakfast, often served all day, featuring fried bacon, sausages, eggs, black/white pudding, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Key, defining elements that distinguish it from a full English breakfast are the inclusion of soda bread and potato farls (potato bread) fried until crisp."
There is some debate about the inclusion of baked beans. Traditionalists say no but modern Ulster Fry plates have them and I like them so I included them. There's an attribution notecard in the contents and this beautiful plate can be found in Doyle's Coffee House (it used to be a pub in pervious incarnations of the build but we have a fair few pubs:)

We also have some lovely scones with clotted cream and black current jam and fresh hot cross buns with whipped butter which some folks enjoy for the Easter week and weekend:)
| | NightshadeCeres: what is black-and-white pudding? (me looks interested even if not sure if i could eat everything as a part-time vegetarian.) 13 days ago |
| | John Sheppard: Good to see you creating! Or re-creating as the case may be. Looks interesting. I also have Irish heritage. 26 days ago |
Some more work in progress with a Chemist and a Post Office. Not nearly done. Are we ever done? LOL
