(Not sure what on earth happened to the title of this post but it seems I can't go back and change it, so, umm, just ignore the typo at the end please? Ta ...) The combination of the return of Erollisi and the Sacred Spaces competition meant that I couldn't resist revamping and upgrading my Temple of Erollisi! (Especially as changes to building blocks since I initially made it meant that I had a few hundred spaces to play around with to fill with More Plants And Stuff). For those of you who aren't on AB and/or hadn't seen it before, I made the Temple 2-3 years ago when Kaian bore witness to Erollisi's return from the dead (in the 'A Goddess Risen' quests) and wanted to create an area for her free from the corruption, killing and, quite frankly, dead-Erollisi-in-a-coffin-ness of the Shard of Love. Since then, Erollisi failed to fully return to Norrath and Kaian was reduced to sitting in taverns, drunkenly insisting to people that he'd spoken to the Lady and was the High Priest of Love, yeah? - before staggering back to sit in the Gardens incase she appeared. To no benefit ..... until now The Temple Complex includes wooded gardens, perfumed bowers, statues, fauna, pavilions, baths and a library, shrines and altars and all the most exotic and beautiful plants I could possibly cram in there, as well as the Grand Temple itself. The Temple comprises an inner and outer area, with a High Altar, and, at the very back of the gardens, the Shrine of the Loving Huntress with Kaian's depiction of the Lady herself. It might not be entirely accurate. He was too dazzled when he last met her. And perhaps not 100% sober. Server: Antonia Bayle Leaderboards: Hall of Fame (best to look for it under 'Newly Published' if you want to visit) Title: Temple and Gardens of Erollisi (SS2015) For those who can't visit .... this gives an idea ... THE ENTRANCE AND GARDENS . . BUILDINGS WITHIN THE GROUNDS . The Grotto of Sacrifice . The Grotto of Compassion . The Perfumed Bower, with closeable curtains for those devotees that prefer a little privacy ... . The Library, and Shrine of Truth . The Golden Lotus Pavilion, and Shrine of Honour . The Baths, and Shrine of Charity . THE OUTER TEMPLE . The approach to the Outer Temple Arena, incorporating the Shrine of Valor . Looking down at the Outer Temple arena . The Shrine of Love, and 'What if ......?' (yes, that is Antonia and Lucan on there being quite pleasant to each other ...) . THE INNER TEMPLE . View of the entrance to the Inner Temple . The High Altar . View from the High Altar (that's a book of the Wedding Ceremony). . The Shrine of the Loving Huntress . . Thanks for looking!
Erollisi? Yes, an actor ... wearing the crafted set from the Erollisi Day recipes. I've just checked, and the set is the Supple Hart Leather Chest Wrap and Leggings (unfortunately there weren't any arm-pieces). I wanted to get a bit of the look that Erollisi has at the end of the deity questline, but of COURSE none of those items are actually able to be replicated. Out of the other options, these seemed to work best.
*nod*nod* Hence it being the 'Loving Huntress'. Although I'm not sure what the fawns at her feet think of it all.
"She killed Fritz! That dirty, stinkin'--" "Whoa there, Bambi, ixnay on the ussing-kay; She might be listening..." Uwk
damn you, damn you, i don't have a character slot open...hmm who do i delete, must go see it in person, it's so beautiful
When in doubt, save up 2 months of Station Cash, and buy another slot...no sense in throwing away one of your "children." :-/ Uwk who luvvvs his alts, every single one
I've just toured this place and it is stunning! You have done a lot of research finding the right item combination, with regards to color and theme-matching. It's absolutely worth visiting! Big congrats to you
Thanks so much! I was delighted that lots of different stonework and arches had been added to the Marketplace since I initially built the Temple and my rebuilding could run riot (not quite as delighted as if they'd been carpenter-made, but nevermind). *grins* I keep a couple of slots spare on a Silver account to go server-hopping with
I have 4 Silver accounts for that reason...well, I only needed 3, but then the Powers said they were going to kill off that aspect of F2P, so I had to get another one. ;-> Uwk
