This is the Castle display area at Lunaria Emporium where you can walk through them all. My first attempt at building in SecondLife 15 years ago was a castle and I never looked back. There three available for purchase in different styles and they all have multiple hidden chambers and passages to discover:

The Ceridwen castle, done in a fantasy/fairytale style in a silver and amethyst color palette with a special hidden room below

The Caerwyn Fortress complex, which is a massive, detailed fortress in the Norman / Celtic tradition with realistic 13th century textures. The fortress was inspired by the remains of Harlech Castle located in Harlech, Gwynedd, Wales

The Caerwyn Keep, designed with a smaller footprint in mind

A medieval covered stone bridge to match

There's also a partially finished Camelot Keep that I hope to get back to someday, but it is not currently available. All the castles are available on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?cat=50600&store=13957705 and can be delivered directly to your inventory on your grid.

If you don't mind hypergridding, all venues are 20% off Kitely Market prices if you get them directly from my main store.

This is the Entertainment Venues area at Lunaria Emporium, where you can walk through all my main ballrooms, clubs, and lounges. All of them include the decor and furniture that you will see inside each one, or you can find the decor separately in the main store building. These structures tend to be large and complex with a mixture of mesh and prims, and they make heavy use of materials textures which can only be seen with higher graphics settings enabled. Remember to use Shared Environment to see the sky setting shown above.

All of these venues can be found on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?cat=50600&store=13957705, and can be delivered directly to your inventory on your grid.

If you don't mind hypergridding, all venues are 20% off Kitely Market prices if you get them directly from my main store.

This is the main Roman display area, and you can walk through all the Roman structures here. This is one of several display areas at Lunaria Emporium at ground level surrounding the main store. Each area has a theme and has its own EEP sky setting to accentuate it. Make sure you have Shared Environment selected as well as higher graphics to see the shadows and materials.

You can reach this area by clicking the Roman sign in the lobby on the left side, or by taking the bridge, hopping a boat, or flying.

This is the Statues/Roman room on the second floor of the main store building at Lunaria Emporium. Here you can find multiple high detail statues sourced from complex stl scans of the real world versions, then optimized for Opensim and fitted with multiple textures available through touch menu. All statues carry a commercial license embedded inside noting where you can source your own stl version if you like. Additionally, there are wall vendors displaying various Roman structures with a teleport tab to walk through them all. You can find this room by clicking the Roman sign in the main lobby. Don't miss the free angel statue in the adjacent room.

These items are 20% off Kitely Market prices, many of which can be found on the Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?cat=50900&store=13957705

This is the Magic and Mysteries room inside the main store on the second floor. There are several different arcane circles - Red, Blue, Wiccan, Norse, Sacred, Egyptian, Celtic - each with multiple textures accessible by menu. The Seven Chakras circle comes with a meditative pose, seven textures, and seven stations corresponding to the chakras. There are also vendors for all my Goth / Vampire / Halloween / Cemetery items along with teleports to walk through the full cemetery. Most of these items are available on the Kitely Market, but they are 20% less if you get them directly from the store. Click the magic and Mysteries sign in the lobby to get to this room.

This is the Asian Heritage room at Lunaria Emporium inside the main store building, primarily consisting of Japanese / Chinese inspired items. None of the pieces are intended to be historically accurate, just my personal take on the styles. The buildings displayed on the vendors can be walked through by clicking the teleport link under each one. Some of the items in the room are free, such as the golden Buddha and the lizard garden lamp. You can get to this room by clicking the Asian sign in the main lobby.

This is the first of a set of 360° snapshots of my Emporium. This is the new lobby and everything you see is for sale (except for infrastructure stuff like joiners, etc). There's some new Art Deco pieces displayed for sale such as the Deco tall lamps, The Deco seating group, the Art Deco ceiling lights, and the Deco bar, which comes with AVSitter in the stools. The Art Deco pieces are currently only at the Main Store since I haven't added them to the Kitely Market yet. The pool in the center is free, and there are teleport boards on either side to quickly get to specific product areas.

Snowy candy beaches and sparkling surf... for a limited time. Also: Brand new surf kit in the shop! Along with some crazy cute Athena dresses with original created textures and legit mesh models included in the dress kit. Design something! Or just wear the hot little Christmas outfits I included. Happy Holidays!

My apologies that Brotown has not been open to the many folks who inquire about it regularly. I took a break from the virtual world, but I'm back part time now and am working diligently whenever I have time to spare. Behind the scenes, I've been working to expand Brotown to a 3x3 var region, as well as adding in a few new commercial venues to check out. I spotted something the other day that I've been in touch with the owner of to see about receiving a copy so I can incorporate it into one of those said venues. Keeping it all hush-hush for the moment, as I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I do hope things will work out well. I'll be sure to let you all know when Brotown is available for visiting and appreciate all of you who keep my interest in it alive!

Greetings, have my SHOUTcast stream up now. You're welcome to visit my region anytime, though you can also listen where ever you are, on your media player, such as WinAmp or VLC, or others that support URL's.

A few years ago I found a small collection of Flat Earth photos, which I placed in an album on SmugMug, and set it to display as a slideshow. Today it loaded in-word for me for the first time in a while. Not sure what the problem was, though maybe the region needed a restart.

Just an additional 360 of the region there is so much beauty to see and we welcome all who would like to come and reflect, meditate and hold vigil for loved ones and to place a memorial to a loved one from real life or virtual. Together we can heal.

2007 was a year of wanting to make positive changes - I started an environmental awareness blog “Climate of Our Future.”

Having researched the Pacific gyre and seeing all the plastics accumulating on our ocean floor was devastating to me; to learn at that time it was twice the size of Texas.

In my research, I discovered a Marine Biologist who has an incredible love for our oceans. Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, Ph.D. “J”. J was a frequent contributor to Climate of Our Future and allowed the use of any resources he had. He still does, thank you J. His philosophy The Blue Mind Rx: Our Waters Can Be Lifelong Medicine for All People. This is an important message that I wanted to share virtually.

I have added the @JoeBuilder "Barrier Reef" to my virtual installation of Blue Mind, thank you Joe. J's water philosophy is here. I keep J close in positive thoughts, two years ago his home was destroyed by fire. You can read about it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dear-wild-child-43292320

Thank you J for your contribution to our planet. virtual-hg.com:8002/LivBlue/128/128/1
