Phantom Rose Grid is pleased to announce the official Opening of Phantom Rose Medieval!
This new 5×5 region is a medieval/fantasy role play area with tons of water space for pirate ships and exploring.
View looking towards the Monastery, with Mallard Castle in the foreground.
View of Knight’s Landing with O’Malley Castle on an island to the right.
Knight’s Landing is the welcome area for the region and has information about the Region and its free gifts. There is Grid information along with Maps, etc. There are are some free Role Play clothing to help you get in the mood. And your first gifts (a hand made Trestle table and bench with sit animations, made by Lannorra). Knight’s Landing outer courtyard is set up for a local festival with a maypole and dancing/feasting area. The Landing Village has a few more gifts to find.
Do not forget to take the Adventure Quest scroll that is by the gate.
This is a fun, light hearted quest with a nice prize at the end! (When you read the quest, it will help if you know the tune to Gilligan’s Island – LOL). The Quest will take you to some of the interesting points of interest on the Region.
Cut Throat Cove is home for the Pirates. There are some mean monkey’s that you do not want to anger and some fun exploration to be had.
Not far from here lies the brooding and dangerous Citadel!
From the front gate to the portcullis, danger radiates and tells you to be very careful. Full of magic and secrets, the Citadel is another of Lannorra’s new creations.
Dragons Heart Castle is the new creation and labor of love for Lannorra.
Huge, with many detailed and furnished rooms, it is worth the time to explore. Lannorra made some lovely medieval/antique pieces for it.
Castle Chapel.
One of the Castle guest rooms.
And if you have ever wondered about Billiard tables, take a look at the antique “Billet” table Lannorra researched and made. (It is on the first floor, near the gift shop). You can also click the sign to go to a website with more detailed information!
Another must see stop is the huge Monastery, built by Lannorra’s good friend, Tenshi Engel. This hand made, unique structure is very detailed with some RL art painted by Tenshi, along with many areas where the monks live and work.
From the dock, you walk through the busy marketplace to the imposing Monastery. Follow the path over a draw bridge and thru the portico gates.
It is a massive structure and worth exploring!
And last but not least, Lannorra did not forget her Mer Nation! Medieval is home to the latest Mer folk area, the Underwater Kingdom of Lyonesse! There is a special gift, a shark ride, and lots of space for Mer folk to swim and enjoy.
As with all of the Phantom Rose Mer areas, Lyonesse is connected via the Mer Portal, which allows Mer folk to travel underwater to every Mer area on the Grid (8 areas!). Each area has a unique gift tied to the region theme. The starting area for all of Phantom Rose Mer Nation, is Akrotiri, accessible directly from Opensimworld beacon. If you come via the map, you end up at the grid welcome region, and must TP to the Welcome Grotto.
There is also an underwater Colosseum, that has seahorse chariot races! The chariots are made by Lannorra. Up to 6 riders may race at a time, with 6 color choices. Or unlimited Mer folk may do swim races to see who can swim the fastest around the course!
I hope you have enjoyed this look at my newest region! There are temp rez boats (and temp rez Mer shark riders) to use and many things to explore and discover. I urge you to try the Adventure Quest. It is a fun and easy way to get another prize!
Akrotiri – The starting region for Phantom Rose Mer Nation
Welcome to the Phantom Rose Grid Mer Nation! If you use opensimworld beacon or the URL from the Akrotiri page, you are taken directly underwater. From there you can explore every Mer folk area ( 8 in all) on the grid underwater via the Mer Portal.
The name Akrotiri is taken from the ancient city of the Minoan’s, which was on the island now known as Santorini, in Greece. As you may know, the legend of Atlantis talks about a prosperous ancient city, named Atlantis, that sunk into the sea in a catastrophe. Many scholars believe this was based on the destruction of the Minoan empire by the eruption of a volcano on Thíra (Santorini), which buried Akrotiri and caused a huge tidal wave that destroyed Knossos (on Crete) and other Minoan port cities and led to the downfall of this once mighty kingdom.
When you land at Akrotiri, you will see some ruins inspired by Minoan culture. As you move into the area, you will see a wall with important information about the grid and about Mer Nation. Right around the corner from the information is the first free gift: Minoan inspired fins, made by Lannorra. There is one for mermaids and one for Tritons. Real life pictures of uncovered wall painting in the Minoan Ruins were used as inspiration to create these unique fins and they are free to guests! There is also a hidden treasure chest to find with another gift. So swim around to find it!
Once you have all the information and gifts, you can use the Mer Portal to access the next Mer area.
Each one has a free gift and a unique atmosphere theme to compliment the region in which it resides.
Phantom Rose Welcome Region: The Grotto
Welcome Region Mer area, The Grotto
The Grotto was the first Mer area for the grid. If you hop to the Grid via your viewer map (instead of using the Akrotiri beacon), you will land at the Welcome Center, where you can use the Regional Teleporter to quickly transport to the Grotto and be underwater. The Grotto is the home of the Alter of Neptune, a place where Mer folk can have a wedding ceremony. There are animations to use for Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, Maid of Honor, Best Man, Officiant and the Bride and Groom (all made by Lannorra). This is a free area for Mer Guests to use to hold their handfasting/weddings. Not far from the Alter, (at the regional tp landing point) you will find a set of basic fins for Mermaids and Tritons – free for Guests. You can swim the canals of the Welcome Region to the second Mer area.

Phantom Rose Steam Region: Mermaids of the Mists
Steam Region Mer Area: Mermaids of the Mists
Mermaids of the Mists (MoM) is a full sim area of underwater delights with a subtle Steampunk vibe. The history of MoM start at the mothership (Second Life), where Lannorra designed and built a huge Mermaid area for a friend. It has been resurrected several times on other grids, but at last is finally home. There are sharks circling over head, a large sunken ship, beautiful coral reefs all teeming with fish, and a temple to explore. Steam is a 2×2 region, so you can swim all the way from MoM throughout the region, passing by Mysterious Island and into the main Harbor and along some smaller rivers.
Also, there is a Mer Dance Pavilion, where you can use a dance circle with a custom made Mer dance by Lannorra.
There is a gift (a subtle steampunk coral reef) for guests near the Mer Portal; follow the signs.

The Nile’s Mer area is not as large as some regions, but it has all of the Mighty Nile River to explore with a cool Dolphin Rider. Guests may take their free gift of a Dolphin Rider! Although, you cannot use your rider here, you will find free temp rez Dolphin riders to use. These are the same ones you will get as a gift, (gift dolphin rider is copy, and not temp rez). Take a leisurely ride down the Nile and look in wonder at the many interesting places to see. You may decide to transform to a land walker, in order to explore a huge ancient Pyramid or browse the Souks (marketplaces) for many copy items.
Phantom Rose Ocean Region: Atlantis
Ocean Region Mer Area: Atlantis
The Phantom Rose Ocean is a 4×4 region with 16 sims worth of underwater area to explore. In one part of this massive ocean not far from the Dive Shack island, lies the ruins of Atlantis!

The Mer Portal lands you in a cave/tunnel area and the free gifts is near it – follow the signs. Your gift here, is a free Swordfish rider. You will find a temp rez Swordfish Rider to use at this region. Check out the Atlantis Amphitheater!
There is so much to explore, if you ride out from Atlantis to the south, you may catch up with a pod of whales. Join these gentle giants as they move thru the Ocean.
Phantom Rose Nature Region: Crystal Lake
Nature Region Mer Area: Crystal Lake
The beautiful Phantom Rose Nature Region hosts a small Mer area almost at the foot of the majestic Olympia Falls. Although, this area is small, it gives you access to all of the rivers on the Nature region. Swim thru the white water rapids, merging with the slower lazy rivers, til you finally get to the shallower lazy streams. Its an idyllic region full of scenic treasures and exciting moments. Watch out for the Bears gorging themselves on salmon! The free guest gift is a lovely coral reef.
Sanctuary Region (by Tenshi Engel): The Cave
Sanctuary Region Mer Area: The Cave
Phantom Rose Grid is also the home for a good friend, Tenshi Engel. His Sanctuary Region is a must see for land walkers and Mer folk alike. You follow a narrow path from the landing area and swim up into the Cave. It is a lovely region, with tons of free food, food platters and wine!
Phantom Rose Medieval: The Underwater Kingdom of Lyonesse

You will see your gift adjacent to the Mer Portal landing area. There is a temp rez one for you to try out and enjoy as you explore Lyonesse. At the far end of the area is a Seahorse Chariot racing Stadium. With 6 colors to pick from, bring a friend and test your skills in the arena! These chariots are the creation of Lannorra. They are not gifts, but you can use the temp rez versions as much as you want within the 25 sim Medieval region.
I hope you will visit and enjoy the many areas available in the Phantom Rose Mer Nation!
Phantom Rose Grid Welcome Region Opera House presents a 24/7 musical vignette from Phantom.
Phantom Rose Grid celebrates its 3rd Anniversary!
Created on January 24th, 2019, Phantom Rose Grid has been steadily growing and offering more experiences and free gifts for visitors. Lannorra Sion is the owner and creator of this private, non-commercial grid. Phantom Rose has the equivalent of 78 sims laid out in 20 variable Regions. Lannorra has created many 24/7 interactive activities, including: 3 Hunts, 3 Adventure Quests; 2 Interactive Fantasy Magic Circles; a Maze; Seasonal Ballets; year round Ice skating; extensive underwater areas for diving and Mer Folk; Surfing; a Nature region with many trails and outdoor activities such as a Rock Climbing area; kayaking; white water rafting; hang gliding, and horse back riding;
These many activities are offered in themed regions, such as, Steampunk, 1890s Egypt, Regency, Bayou, and fantasy Medieval (coming soon). Lannorra has included many unique legal free gifts that she makes herself, or sometimes from customizing other legal gifts. For example, at the Bayou region, Lannorra has made and offers free, Regency outfits for both men and women, beautiful crystal stemware, cake plates with petit fours, and also Vampire and Demon Hunting Kits in the Dark Nights area.
“My goal has been to offer activities for individuals that are fun and interesting,” says Lannorra. “I also want to be a place where people can come and get legal free items. I offer Linda Kellie’s Clutterfly Mesh Mall and her original mall, where I have added a few stores for other free legal gifts creators, such as Selea Core. These free gifts are a great starting point for anyone new to the OS or for customizing into other items.”
To celebrate this milestone, Lannorra has created a musical vignette from the Phantom. It is playing 24/7 through April, at the Welcome region Opera House, which is a replica of Lannorra’s original Second Life Phantom Rose Opera House.
Are you a Witch of the Light? Or a Witch of Dark Magic? At the Phantom Rose Grid, you can choose either (or both!). Each of the Alters has a local coven available to call, along with a Grimoire ready with some spells for you, if needed! Or you can bring friends and totally Role Play your magic! The Circles are an RPG/interactive scripted activity available 24/7.
Wiccan Magic Circle
At the Wiccan Circle, you have several spells including, Call the Elements, Strengthen Powers, Blessing Spell and Invocation to the Goddess. You may call the local Wiccan coven for support, or go your own way, casting your personal magic as you will. The Circle is located on the edge of the Dark Nights supernatural area, nestled in the old moss covered oak trees. You can reach it via the swamp river or take the regional TP to Dark Nights, then use the Magic Portal.
Dark Magic Circle
The Dark Magic Circle lies deep within the Dark Fantasy area. Here is the lands of Witches, Vampires and Demons. This is not the Pure and Protective magic of the Wiccan. Here the Dark Magic demands blood and fire! The Grimoire has 3 spells including a Blood Spell and a Conjure Demon! As with the Wiccan circle you may call the local dark coven to lend you strength or bring your own coven with you. Use the interactive spells or totally Role Play your magic, your way!
If you love magic fantasy, I hope you will visit Phantom Rose Grid Bayou region. You can reach Phantom Rose Bayou via the map: http://PhantomRose.Outworldz.net:8002 which lands you at the welcome region. Take the IDP to PR Bayou. Or you can hop via a Opensimworld Beacon. Once at the Bayou Region, you can take the region TP to Dark Nights. There is a Magic Portal from there to all the supernatural elements, including the Witch and Wiccan Circles! P.S. if you have the time, I suggest you travel on horseback or swamp boat (or both) and enjoy the immersive Bayou ambiance fully! Maps are available at the Ship Depot landing area at Bayou.
For those not familiar with OpenSims, you need a viewer from Firestorm.org or Singularity downloaded to your computer to access OS Virtual Worlds. OpenSimulator is and open source form of Second Life, that has Hyper Grid capabilities to visit many grids, commercial and private.

Did you know that the Phantom Rose Grid has THREE Adventure Quests, on 3 different regions? These Quests are available 24/7 for individuals or friends to experience. They are more than just a hunt. Some have clues in the form of Poems. Some are Role Play based, where you must complete certain tasks to get your prize! Each of the Adventures gives you a unique prize made by Lannorra Sion and it is the ONLY way to get these items.
The beginner quest is at the Phantom Rose Welcome Region. Right off the visitor area. This quest gives you clues to find the notorious Phantom of the Opera’s Lair! The Phantom Rose Steam Regions Mysterious Island Maneater Quest, takes you on a dangerous journey to a hidden cave, where you must face a Man eating plant!
