Dragon Mist

visit Dragon Mist now

Dragon Mist is our new homestead sim we added to Lost Unicorn region just recently.  It adjoins part of Lost Unicorn and Storybook sims.  I absolutely fell in love with the Fanatik castles and wanted to use them somehow within the region.  I ended up using the Arkaig castle.  I thought because of its style and size, it would definitely need an area all on its own.  I’m really happy with the way it turned out and it was so much fun to work on!  I made it a Celtic/Irish style with a touch of Viking elements here and there.  All the living areas are fully furnished within the theme …from Celtic style banners and rugs to Guinness beer barrels and tavern music.  The stream playing on the sim is a Celtic/Irish station that plays a great mix of music, including ambient sounds.

To add to the ambience, the sim is raining with thunderstorms and the region is perpetually cloudy and full of mist.  The landscaping (by Nessa Zamora) consists of lots of clover, dead trees, rocky cliffs, a Celtic Circle and Viking ships here and there.

As the name implies, of course there are dragons!  There’s a large, friendly one named Fritz that sits atop the castle and another not-so-friendly one that guards its hoard UNDER the castle in the caves.  These caves  are accessed through a trap door on the first floor.  Just beware, the dragon below will not hesitate to show his wrath if you get near his hoard…as the many skeletons found around his domain will attest.

Last, but definitely not least, we have used parts of the castle as a small gallery in itself.  I have my own work along with Nessa Zamora and SeleneLily Galicia’s artwork on display.  These are all displayed in the hallways of the castle.  We also have many of well -known and amazing artist Cybele Moon’s works on display.  Her artwork is displayed throughout the living spaces of the castle as part of the theme.  Cybele is Irish herself and has done many pictures of Irish landscapes in real life and many of these are what are being shown.

Stop by and visit this lovely castle with lots of character and detail!  It’s well worth the visit!
