Sim Descriptions
This year's Fantasy Faire will include ten lavishly landscaped shopping sims created by some of the top designers in Second Life. We will have environments from the snowy northern plains where the Aura Borealis dances across the sky to sun-filled Mediterranean islands; from storybook villages to midnight gardens where cherry blossoms rain down in the soft glow of lantern light. Pirates may cross our paths as we venture into paper forests housing our oldest myths and legends tended lovingly by mystic librarians. And of course there will always be the occasional fantastical surprise. Below is a list of sim designers and sim descriptions, names are still evolving. We invite you to take a chance and come on an adventure with us, the destination of which may not yet be known but we promise, the journey will be amazing! You are welcome to select a designer who you would like to join or trust us to make the choice for you. Believe us, there are no bad seats for this extravaganza!
You will be given the chance to identify your top three choices for the designer of your sim. We will do our best to accommodate your requests.

Meanwhile the Mystics tell tales of the unweaver at whose feet they lay the blame for their ice-age, their hopes for salvation lie in legends of heroes, ancient tales of lands across the dimensions, their faith hangs on finding the lost knowledge that can bring forth the confluence. The two factions, poles apart in their beliefs are about come together as myth and machine meet beneath the Northern Lights.
