Bellisseria Fantasy Community Center Release
After an incredible amount of work, planning, and creativity, the long-awaited Bellisseria Fantasy Community Center has finally arrived. It may very well be the Mole’s masterpiece to date – and create a standard that they will have to work very hard to meet on their next endeavor.
The fantasy regions were first released on Aug 12, 2021. The Community Center for the Fantasy regions did not arrive until almost 3 months later (on Nov 6, 2021). Its release was coordinated with a stunningly beautiful wedding, as Riot and Kalia Anatine Hax, pledged their eternal love, devotion, and commitment to each other.
A lot of people have commented that this new Eyrie fantasy region is the most beautiful place they have seen in Second Life to date. And I would tend to agree with them.
The architecture of the main building will amaze you… with elfin curves and pillars and roofless windows to the sky above. The landscaping that surrounds the community center building is lush and beautiful and creates a fantasy wonderland. There are, of course, crystals and mushrooms, glowing trees, and bright flowers. There are also delightful surprises hidden for you to discover as you roam the grounds.
A special unfurnished version of the Community Center building was initially released to accommodate the wedding decorations (which were, by the way, incredible in their own merit). The region first opened at 11 AM SLT on Saturday, Nov 6th, 2021. It will be restarted soon to the permanent non-wedding version. The exact day/time up to the moles as they finish off a few details. When it is restarted in its permanent design, it will also offer a passport stamp.
This release was a historic first – coordinating a major build release with a big wedding event. A lot of people worked very hard to make this happen: Patch Linden, Derrick Linden, the amazing team of moles builders, Riot Hax, Kalia Anatine-Hax, the wedding coordinator, the wedding party, and team. They collaborated together to make the release day so magical.
As a special treat, the moles and lindens took 15 minutes from their busy schedule to pose for a group shot – captured by both video and still photography. (And no, we were so focused on the photos that we did not think to ask them for bears.) But here is a rare treat… a chance for you to see what some of these amazing builders look like.

If you haven't been there yet, please plan to visit it soon. You can arrive by boat (from the Rigamarole region) OR you can walk in from neighboring regions (Fenrir Forest, Ladeedah, or Covendale) or you can TP directly to the arrival platform.
