...and finally, may the gods of Rosehaven protect you. by 🔱 Matticus Marinea 🔱 Via Flickr: Last up on our tour of Rosehaven Seafolk Sanctuary (and I have saved the best for last) is the Seafolk goddess. She emerges quite literally from the rock face of the sanctuary. Not pictured, are her hands which rise up before the stone gathering circle. I thought a lot of this project, as a theme park. I consider the seafolk goddess to be Rosehaven's "park icon" - you can orient yourself anywhere in the lagoon just by looking up at her. I want to thank everyone for indulging me this week while I posted all these shots - I know its not quite as exciting as a human form, but I've really enjoyed creating and sharing this space. I truly hope this place becomes a haven for the misfit seafolk who haven't been able to find community elsewhere in SL. --- WELCOME TO ROSEHAVEN SEAFOLK SANCTUARY Below a timeless European country estate, lies a watery realm of mysticism & tranquility.

Rays of light illuminate the atrium by 🔱 Matticus Marinea 🔱 Via Flickr: Designed as the focal point of Rosehaven Seafolk Sanctuary, the inner atrium boasts two floors with exceptional views of this coral reef. The "elder gods" circle high above at different speeds - representing those seafolk we have lost and also representing our hope for the future. --- WELCOME TO ROSEHAVEN SEAFOLK SANCTUARY Below a timeless European country estate, lies a watery realm of mysticism & tranquility.

Ethereal Seafolk Ballroom by 🔱 Matticus Marinea 🔱 Via Flickr: Up next on our tour of Rosehaven Seafolk Sanctuary is the beautiful undersea ballroom designed by Ryan Sawyer. I asked him to help lend an air of regality to this large cavern space and boy did he deliver. There are multiple rocks with mer sits loaded in here, as well as a dance orb with mer dances. --- WELCOME TO ROSEHAVEN SEAFOLK SANCTUARY Below a timeless European country estate, lies a watery realm of mysticism & tranquility.
