The days blend into each other when your schedule is constantly full.

From dawn till dusk, Queen Aruena was busy - busy hearing pleas, settling disputes, receiving envoys. She ruled from a throne that was as great as the duties she shouldered. On the rare occasions she wasn't busy, she allowed herself small indulgences; almost as to remind herself that she was more than just a crown.

Of course, Prince Feanor was never far behind. Her beloved brother and proxy, he fit at her side as naturally as a shadow, balancing her iron rule with his easy charm.

Meanwhile, the castle stayed up and running thanks to Ambrose. The ever-dutiful manservant made sure everything was always in order. It was too much work for one man to handle, but he did his best. It helped that the masters were kind.

It also helped that they never seemed to notice his late-night raids of their liquor cabinet, or how he ogled the prince.

Or perhaps they did...

I’m finally at a point where I might stop updating the interior and leave it be!  I added some details I just wanted to have, I’m proud of the little sign over the entrance to other rooms - a phoenix curved around a potion bottle for the Alchemical Phoenix Atelier and Shop. Shelves of items to peruse:  magical trinkets, charms and foci, crystal balls and other materials for the aspiring or practiced spell-weaver (including handmade candles), tomes on various topics, magick brooms and charmed rugs, as well as examples of custom-made enchanted armor and arms.  Even assistance with familiars can be provided.  Of course, there’s also the usual potions and potables.  On the other side of the shop is bontanicals - fresh and dried.  Amh brings a few from her home in the Shroud to tend in the shop, some are woven with spells to give them properties, some even glow.  Amh likes to sit and read to some of them or work on her knitting if she’s minding the shop on her own. Upstairs, the bar is updated to providing some standing-room for more capacity.  Coffee, tea, sweets, spirits, wine and ale can be provided, but the real draw is the enchanted items on the menu.  The Moonfeather tea room is designed with Amh’s tastes in mind, full of rustic and cozy imagery of the Shroud, with each table decorated with a centerpiece she put together herself from her garden.  A lot of the enchantments are secrets from her upbringing in the Black Shroud, along with a few secrets Llinos adds... Please feel free to come take a look and maybe leave a message in the message book - makes me happy and cheers me to see! Balmung, Goblet W9, P36

Let's take a closer look at our little princeling, all grown up!

Arwan Moonfeather

Species: Elf

Gender: Male

Age: Child

Zodiac: Aries

Aspiration: Grow Up

OTH: Music & Dance

Personality: Neat 4; Outgoing 8; Active 5; Playful 5; Nice 5

As you can see from his stats, Arwan is a social butterfly with a pretty well-balanced personality. He's a perfect mini-me of his father aside from the curly hair, and very interested in culture and the arts! It's probably good he's not in line to inherit the throne, because he has absolutely zero interest in politics, lol.

I can totally see him becoming a patron of the arts in the future!

Anyone up for some throwback pics?

In honor of the babble-triptych (1, 2, 3) I recently posted about my earliest sims gameplay, here’s an ancient pic of the Moonfeather twins discussing ecology while having breakfast in an open field.

This pic has been the oldest draft on this blog and y’all have no idea how gratifying it feels to finally have an occasion to throw it out there.
