Lost Unicorn
the gallery, the forest, the magic
Dragon Mist Sim
We recently added and opened a new homestead sim to the Lost Unicorn region, just have not “officially” announced its opening until now. It connects on the west side of Storybook and Lost Unicorn sims. I love the Fanatik castles and builds, particularly Arkaig castle. We ended up using this build as the focal point of the homestead and it has a Celtic/Irish theme with some Viking elements here and there. The castle living spaces are decorated within the theme and a lovely Celtic music station streams on the sim. There is alot to explore and discover here and you can get lost in the castle there are so many doors, rooms and hallways to wander. The hallways themselves house some of my own artwork plus landscaper Nessa Zamora and SeleneLily Galicia’s works. In the actual living spaces of the castle, Irish artist Cybele Moon’s artwork is on display, specifically her beautiful work from Ireland.
There is also much to see outside the castle. Go down to the dock area and you might just see a mermaid or two. Nearby is a very small tavern for merchants and visitors to the island….and yes, you can get a pint…or two there, no worries!
Just outside the courtyard area of the castle is a Celtic Circle. There are even caves to explore below the castle which can be accessed through a trap door on the first floor. Just be extra careful and beware of the dragon guarding his hoard!
The overall ambience of the region is perpetual dusk, rain and thunderstorms with alot of mist throughout.
Here is your ship to the sim….
Below are a few raw snapshots taken at the sim….

Cybele Moon Opening at the Gallery Saturday, February 2 at Noon!
Cybele Moon stated on a description of one of her pictures that “forests were made for the hunters of dreams”. I love this quote and find it so true. In celebration of this and because her forest artwork is some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, this show is centered around Cybele Moon’s forests, forest creatures, and forest fantasies 🙂 Alot of her work is dark, haunting, yet beautiful and captured in the most magnificent way. Please don’t miss this special selection of Cybele’s pictures and while you’re here, enjoy the lovely voice of musician Phemie Alcott at noon 🙂
