In the heart of the digital realm, where grids and codes intertwined, there existed a special place known as the Gentle Fire Grid. This grid was unlike any other; it was a warm, welcoming community where avatars from all corners of the virtual world gathered to share stories, create art, and celebrate together.

As Christmas approached, the Gentle Fire Grid buzzed with excitement. The avatars decorated their virtual homes with twinkling lights, digital wreaths, and pixel-perfect Christmas trees. The air was filled with the sound of cheerful carols and the scent of virtual gingerbread cookies.

One chilly December evening, the grid's founder, a wise and kind avatar named Santa Mint, decided to host a grand Christmas party. Invitations were sent out to all the neighboring grids, including the renowned OpenSim. The message read, "Merry Christmas from Gentle Fire Grid to OpenSim! Join us for a night of joy, laughter, and celebration with live singer's and DJ's"

On the night of the party, avatars from OpenSim arrived, their digital forms glowing with anticipation. They were greeted with open arms and warm smiles. The Gentle Fire Grid had prepared a feast of virtual delicacies, from pixelated plum pudding to holographic coffee.

As the night went on, the avatars shared stories of their adventures, exchanged gifts, and danced under the shimmering lights of the virtual sky. Santa Mint stood by the grand Christmas tree, watching the joy spread across the grid. It was a night to remember, a night where the boundaries of the digital world melted away, and the true spirit of Christmas shone brightly.

And so, the Gentle Fire Grid and OpenSim celebrated together, creating memories that would last a lifetime. It was a reminder that no matter where you are, the warmth of community and the magic of Christmas can bring everyone together.

Now we all are in the holiday mood, we offer you a winter adventure.
The ELEVEN CITIES SKATING TOUR. SKATE AND COLLECT STAMPS, WIN A PRIZE.

A skating tour , 12 sims huge , leading you through a wonderful winter landscape with some nice details underway, like cabins for a rest ( or a cuddle ), Icy waterfalls, animals, and more surprises.

How does it work?

Hop : grid.kitely.com:8002:Catronian Archipelago

On the landing place a teleport sign will lead you to the winter fair/ skating tour start point.
Find the information board. It gives you historical information about this funny Dutch tradition, and an opportunity to collect all the original stamps in this tour and win the 11 cities trophy , which in the Netherlands is like being a local hero.

You will get a map/ texture and when opening your world map, you will be able to locate all the checkpoints by comparing the map with your position on the world map. We introduced this bc too many people got lost on track and miss stamps !

Drag all your stamp textures on a notecard and sent it to me. You will be rewarded . I will mention names of the people who are in the "hall of fame" in this thread.

Oh, and don't forget to visit the market with all its freebees !

Happy skating!

Weihnachten kommt in großen Schritten näher, bescuht den Christmas-Advent-Markt mit Euren Freunden und Familie, vielleicht findet Ihr sogar noch ein paar Weihnachtsgeschenke für Eure Lieben dort.

Stellen Sie sich Folgendes vor: ein Wunderland im Herzen eines malerischen Stadtplatzes, mit verschneiten Wegen und funkelnden Lichterketten, die verspielt in der frischen Winterluft tanzen. Der Duft gerösteter Kastanien liegt in der Luft, die Kastanien sind tatsächlich heiß, eingebettet in kleine Papiertüten, die knistern, wenn man sie Ihnen reicht, und ihren nussigen, gerösteten Duft verströmen. Sie stecken sich eins in den Mund und es ist eine Symphonie aus Geschmack und Wärme, ein herrlicher Kontrast zu der Kälte, die Ihre Nase erstickt, und dem süßen Duft von Karamell
Die frisch zubereiteten Crêpes brutzeln mit Zucker überzogen und jeder Atemzug ist ein
Ein köstlicher Cocktail aus festlichen Düften, der Ihre Nase kitzelt und Ihre Seele wärmt
Vergessen röstet Marshmallows über dem offenen Feuer, die klebrige Süße der schmelzenden Marshmallows weht durch die Luft, ein Sirenenruf für Naschkatzen. Während Sie sitzen und genießen, werden Ihre Wangen von den Flammen rosig, während Sie versuchen, den perfekten S’more zu kreieren.

Heiße Getränke und dampfende Becher mit Glühwein und gewürztem Apfelwein werden herumgereicht und die Wärme dringt durch die Handschuhe bis in die Knochen. Sie können nicht anders, als an dem duftenden Gebräu zu nippen, die Gewürze von Zimt, Nelken und Muskatnuss drehen sich auf Ihrer Zunge und hinterlassen eine wohlige Wärme. Und für die weniger Abenteuerlustigen gibt es heiße Schokolade, die so reichhaltig und cremig ist, dass man sie wie eine warme Umarmung fühlt von innen nach außen, garniert mit einem Berg Schlagsahne und einer Prise glitzerndem Zucker.

Die Standbesitzer sind ein fröhlicher Haufen, ihre Augen funkeln mit der gleichen Begeisterung wie die oben aufgereihten Lichter, man erkennt die Details, die diesen Ort so besonders machen. Girlandenstränge waren über jede Oberfläche drapiert, das Rascheln von Tannennadeln war zu hören frisch geschnittene Kränze, ab und zu eine Schneeflocke, die vom Himmel herabflattert.

Der Carpe Noctem Weihnachtsmarkt ist nicht nur ein Ort zum Einkaufen; Es ist ein Erlebnis, das Ihr Herz mit der Magie der Jahreszeit erfüllt. Es ist ein Ort, um mit Freunden und Liebsten Erinnerungen zu schaffen, die Freude am Geben und Empfangen zu genießen und einfach im Moment präsent zu sein.

Fügen Sie Carpe Noctem zu Ihrer Winterreiseliste der zu besuchenden Orte hinzu. Zu finden unter:

Our lore / backstory
To avoid being killed in a vicious nightly attack, King Maximus, and his advisor Steve, had to leave the continent temporarily. What was ment to be only weeks, became years as they crashed in unexpected islands reefs.
They finally travelled back with trusted people to reconquer the Throne, and on arrival found something quite intriguing. The seven kingdoms were left without rulers, almost emptied, even from citizens!
The former King and his group investigated, one land after the other, questioned the rare livings still around. They discover that dragons came back in mass, and took over by the force of their claws and fire, into what is now called the Flaming Era.
Everyone will try to unite, finding ways to regain control of the kingdoms.

Happy Holidays to all, here is a little group gift, there is blink for the light and it is holdable.
Enjoy
We lava U!!!

SkyRealm embraces Spacetime. A complex and fascinating subject, and it continues to be an area of active research. The insights that have been gained from relativity have revolutionized our understanding of the universe, and they continue to challenge our intuition.

Fred Beckhusen-Ferd Frederix Thank you, for lending a hand in this project. Fred took a model with over 800 parts then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and a script that helped to reduce the level of detail. He made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the mountain. Without Fred's help and guidance, this would not have been possible. Sincerely thank you, Fred. Jamie Anna Wright thank you for contributing to the clock collection. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:SkyRealm

White hoarfrost on the trees
and the snow invites you to dream,
the branches glisten like frost
and the lake shines clear as cold,
the sun shines in the rich blue
of the sky and wherever I look
I see snow on the edge of the forest,
oh, you winter wonderland.

Christmas-Advent-Market
Picture this: a wonderland nestled in the heart of a quaint town square, with snowy paths and twinkling fairy lights that dance playfully in the brisk winter air. The aroma of roasting chestnuts fills the air, the chestnuts are indeed hot, nestled in little paper cones that crackle as they’re handed to you, releasing their nutty, toasty perfume. You pop one into your mouth and it’s a symphony of flavor and warmth, a delightful contrast to the cold that nips at your nose, and sweet scent of caramelizing
sugar coating the freshly made crepes sizzling and each breath you take is a
delightful cocktail of festive scents that tickle your nose and warm your soul, not
forgetting roasts marshmallows over an open fire, the sticky sweetness of the melting marshmallows wafts through the air, a siren’s call to those with a sweet tooth. as you sit to enjoy your cheeks turn rosy from the flames as you attempt to craft the perfect s’more.

Hot drinks and steaming mugs of mulled wine and spiced cider are passed around, warmth seeping through your mittens and into your very bones. You can’t help but sip at the fragrant concoction, the spices of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg pirouetting on your tongue, leaving a comforting of warmth and for the less adventurous, there’s hot chocolate so rich and creamy it’s like a warm hug from the inside out, topped with a mountain of whipped cream and a dusting of glittering sugar.

The stallholders are a merry bunch, their eyes twinkling with the same enthusiasm as the lights strung up above, you notice the details that make this place so special. Strands of garland draped over every surface, the rustle of pine needles from
fresh-cut wreaths, the occasional snowflake that flutters down from the sky,

The Carpe Noctem Christmas Market isn’t just a place to shop; it’s an experience that fills your heart with the magic of the season. It’s a place to create memories with friends and loved ones, to revel in the joy of giving and receiving, and to simply be present in the moment.

One of my mother's favorite flowering bushes was the Forsythia with it's bright gold flowers and lime green leaves she often cut a few branches and put them in a vase of water on the dining room table, it was simple but very pretty. So I decided to make a Forsythia bush and make it available to all who would like one, it could make great hedges or privacy walls, it's mesh and resizable and only one prim. You can find it in our ''Garden Center" here at the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia
PS I upgraded the bush to be totally 3D which is more prims but well worth it for how pretty it looks, it's now 10 prims instead of 1 but the first one looked cheep this one actually looks real.
