Community Meeting Summary — September 2026
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the September community meeting! Here's a summary of everything that was announced, discussed, and shared.
Estate Updates & Development
Lunamere Joins the SL Trailblazer Atlas
Thanks to Kat and Shae's efforts with the Fantastic Trail Riders, Lunamere has been added to the SL Trailblazer Atlas!
The Atlas is a central guide to horseback trails across Second Life created by Lara Toge (ghostly.dismantled). It gives riders the practical details they need before heading out, like sim crossing reliability, rez permissions, Teeglepet compatibility, and hazards along the way. It also spotlights overlooked, beautifully built regions, bringing them respectful visitors and giving their creators more visibility. Check it out here! Starlight Stables
That enthusiasm has been infectious! We're pleased to announce the emergence of Starlight Stables in Lunamere. Stalls are available to rent, and the stables are now the mustering point for the Fantastic Trail Riders' Saturday group rides. Now that we're listed on the Atlas, the stables give Lunamere a proper riding hub. Three spots are already rented, just a couple remain. Whatever your ride is, if it fits, it sits. Grab your stall here!
Lunamere at The Engine Room
Lunamere has been accepted to display a poster at The Engine Room! For those unfamiliar, The Engine Room is a fantasy and science fiction shopping event put on by the SL Syndicate, focused on Steampunk, Dieselpunk, Aetherpunk, and historically inspired styles, where selected designers showcase event exclusives and original creations. (They also throw great halftime parties.)
The current round is open now through October 20, so go do some shopping and keep an eye out for our poster!
A New Landing Point
The Lunamere landing point has been remodeled to be more welcoming and to make information easier to find. Damiel wrapped it up just moments before the meeting, so please pop by and have a look!
Getting Around: TP Runes
Have you found the TP runes yet? These magical looking glowy devices are scattered around the estate, including right at the estate landing. Touch one or walk into its aura, and you'll be asked where you'd like to go. Prettier than a bus stop, just as handy, and no waiting in the rain! (Unless you like rain. Personally, we love rain.)
The Mists and Lunaria Isle
The same ancient Mists that once brought forth Winterfell and shaped the lands of Rosehaven eventually carried us onward, gifting us the strange and beautiful realm now known as Lunamere.
Lunamere exists within a kind of magical stasis, but not one of stillness. Across most of the realm, the land and sea remain suspended in late spring, when the forests are nearing their fullness and the world thrums with the promise of growth. Magic gathers visibly within the crystals scattered throughout the landscape and flows through the earth in softly glowing ribbons of teal.
Yet the stasis is not absolute. Small pockets of Lunamere experience the turning of the seasons, changing while the lands surrounding them remain untouched. Our sages have not discovered why these pockets form, though they appear to be entirely benign.
Recently, The Mists stirred once more. From them emerged an island unknown to any map: Lunaria Isle. Unlike most of Lunamere, the island appears to be touched by the same mysterious magic that allows those scattered seasonal pockets to change. Its landscape shifts with the turning year, carrying spring into summer, summer into autumn, and autumn toward winter.
Whether Lunaria Isle has always existed beyond the veil or has only just been born, even the sages cannot yet say.
A Seasonal Event Space
In honor of this gift from The Mists, Lunaria Isle will serve as a rotating seasonal event space. Its first form, the Autumn Terrace, hosted our Harvest Ball last weekend. Thank you to everyone who came to share music and laughter with us!
The Terrace won't be around much longer, so visit while you can. Within the next couple of weeks, the island will transform into a new event space, with a handful of events and activities planned. Keep your eyes on group notices, Discord, and the calendar! There's much in store!
The Altar's New Home
Lunaria Isle is now the permanent home of Lunamere's Altar (now known as Lunaria Altar). The sacred space has been expanded to allow for quiet meditation, and a solo altar sits on the cliff just above the communal one for your own rituals or meditations.
At the seasonal altar, you're invited to leave a small token that's meaningful to you and relates to the current season. All items will be returned when Tobias resets the altar for the next sabbat.
The altar spaces are modeled on modern pagan practice, but followers of any spiritual path are welcome to visit and make respectful use of them.
Community Growth
Welcome, New Neighbors!
Five new residents have joined the estate this month, including a couple of familiar faces from our Rosehaven days and some riders from the Fantastic Trail Riders. Welcome home!
Spreading the Word
Between our efforts on Primfeed, the Fantastic Trail Riders' rides, the Trailblazer Atlas listing, and the Engine Room poster, we may start seeing more visitors around Lunamere. We're continuing to look for partnerships and advertising opportunities, so if you have ideas, please reach out to Tobias via SL IM or Discord.
DJs & Hosts Wanted
Lunamere is looking to grow its DJ and host roster! Hosts and DJs keep 100% of their tips, and Lunamere guarantees a minimum payout per set. No Mic required!

Upcoming Events & Activities
Fantastic Trail Riders
Saturdays, October 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31 @ 10 AM SLT
Group rides across the grid's most beautiful and unique places, open to everyone! Notices will share each week's location, or you can use the TP runes to pop over to Starlight Stables, the group's new mustering point.
The 80's Hour (Supersized): Spoopy Edition
Saturday, October 3 @ 2-4 PM SLT
Two hours of '80s tunes, now with extra creep! Join DJ Mer at The Raven & Key Club for a spooky-season edition of The '80s Hour. Break out the leg warmers and the fake cobwebs. Spoopy '80s garb is welcome, but never required.
Octarine
Fridays, October 9 and October 23 @ 7-9 PM SLT
Octarine is a nightclub run by a mysterious cult, whose even more mysterious benefactor has hired Tobias and Damiel to throw a party there a couple of times a month. What we can tell you: they promise candy, and the music is good. Whether they also hand out literature remains to be seen. Dark attire requested.
Justine Johndory Amethyst at The Typsy Tyger
Friday, October 16 @ 7-8:30 PM SLT
Eva Bellambi & Tavish Brock's The Typsy Tyger, Lunamere Lumora
As announced last month, Justine Johndory Amethyst will be performing quarterly at The Typsy Tyger in Lunamere Lumora, and this is the first show! We highly recommend it. It's SUCH a good time.
Lunamere Book Club
Thursday, October 22 @ 6-7 PM SLT
This month's pick is The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix. In 1990s Charleston, Patricia Campbell's life revolves around her family, with her true-crime book club as her one escape. When a charming stranger moves into the neighborhood and strange things start happening, Patricia becomes convinced he's a monster, and she and her book club may be the only ones who can stop him. Consume the story in whatever manner suits your style, then join us at the Community Center to discuss! Lunamere Book Club is facilitated by the lovely Aurora Oysternatz and Drue Gossipgirl.
Monster Mash
Saturday, October 24 @ 12-3 PM SLT
A Halloween-themed party, with more details to come. Costumes encouraged! And yes, we know - some of us are wearing a costume in SL almost every day already. (And some of us wear human costumes to the real world workplace every day. Boo.)
Spooky Cinema
For two weekends this October, Lunamere is rolling out Spooky Cinema: a run of Spooky Season movies, with good company with great boos. Bring snacks. Screaming optional.
Selections will likely steer away from slasher fare, and as always, trigger warnings will be posted with each movie announcement so everyone can decide what's comfortable for them. Watch group notices for reminders, location, and title announcements!
Showtimes (SLT):
Sat Oct 10th, 12 pm - 2 pm
Sun Oct 11th, 10 am - 12 pm
Sat Oct 17th, 12 pm - 2 pm
Sun Oct 18th, 10 am - 12 pm
Samhain Altar
Sunday, October 25 @ around noon SLT
The Samhain Altar will be decked out on Lunaria Isle a few days ahead of Samhain. As the veil thins and the year turns toward its close, everyone is welcome to stop by, spend a quiet moment, and honor those who came before us. You're invited to leave a small token that's meaningful to you and speaks to the season.
Next Community Meeting
Sunday, October 25 @ 11 AM - noon SLT
Thank You
Before we wrapped up, Shae shared how grateful she is for everyone here, and for Lunamere being a welcome escape from everything going on elsewhere. We feel the same. As Damiel put it, we can build a thing, but without all of you in it, it's just empty space. Thank you for being its life.
That's all the news for now!
Luna, the Lunamere Raven
