Mountains Of Jeogeot

NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS UNFINISHED. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL JANUARY 1ST 2014

The mountains in Jeogeot continent are by far not as spectacular as the mountains found on Heterocera, Sharp Continent or Sansara - Snowlands, but still more interesting then the mountains found on other Linden-owned continents.

Overall

Jeogeot is a transitional continent. Basically, the mainland continents can be divided in two groups: The Old World (Sansara and Heterocera) and The New World (continents in East). The old world has more spectacular Geographic features, higher mountains, a much more complex road network and a higher percent of Protected Land. The new world has replaced complex Geographic features with large plateaus and protected land with Abandoned Land, while road networks are less developed. Jeogeot is somewhere between theese two groups. It has some interesting mountains, but much more common are found the plateaus.

Mountains and altitude

The mountains of Jeogeot are grouped in 3 distinct places: Ichelus, Forepaw Mountains and West Mountains. All other places marked as mountains are in fact borders of a large plateau.

• Ichelus is one of the Linden-owned Volcanos, placed on a volcanic island.
• Forepaw is an interesting place that hosts the highest mountain in Jeogeot (178 meters) and a large underground maze of tunnels.
• Space Station is a place in North, hosted in a crater.
• West Mountains are round mountains, placed in West.

Tourism

The following material is made in the same format with a tourist guide.

• Tourist route 1 - Forepaw - Pyri
• Tourist route 2 - Ichelus
• Tourist Route 3 - the highest plateau
• Tourist route 4 - Space Station
• Tourist route 5 - West Mountains

Tourist Route 1

This route starts in Heterocera, then it takes us to the highest place in Jeogeot.

It is something unexpected that to visit Jeogeot we must start in Mountains Of Heterocera. As described there, in tourist route 6, there is a road (named 3a), that follows the high mountains at some distance, from Riddings sim to Pyri. Altitude is 120 meters. The West Mountain Range is visible to left. Finally, after 1500 meters, we arrive at the end of the road, at a Linden-owned building, Box Office. There, we take a landmark that will send us far away.

We arrive in Sandeulbaram sim, near the Pyri mountains, in a small dock. Here, we can rezz a boat (touch the sign for it). The boat takes us to North Forepaw after a short ride. Then, we start climbing a long road through a deep valley. From place to place, candles can be seen (and a skull). We might see a few ghosts on the way. Then, in Pyri Peaks we reach a small plateau. The road turns right. At 114 meters high, we enter Pyri fair.

There is a lot to explore in the underworld. To get there, first thing take a ticket to the tunnel of love (there is a dummy that gives free tickets). We start to go into a tunnel, then fall into a mine. This is an abandoned mining system. Beware while you use the tunnels, you might die. The mine is very complex and includes multiple levels. This includes 3 or 4 tunnel networks, one under the water. There are many traps, from dead skulls to liquid lava. Here, we can collect a lot of treasures and gifts. To the end, we are teleported back tu the surface.

If we want to explore the top of these mountains, we simply don't go inside the tunnel and go right, to climb them. We will reach an altitude of 174 meters.

Tourist Route 2

This route is a combined walking - sailing route and allows access to the volcano Ichelus.

It is not difficult to get to Ichelus. The most easy way is to teleport directly to Zebrasil info hub. Zebrasil is a sim to North. Both Zebrasil and Ichelus are on an island. The main advantage in Zebrasil is the presence of a large place to rezz boats, so you can go sailing to the continent.

The infohub is a beach-themed village, with wooden buildings. To North, a second smaller village can be found, then the island ends. If we go South, no matter what way (near the shore or directly climbing the hills) we will find a third village and soon we will see the volcano. Highest peak in Zebrasil is 44 meters high. Then, in Ichelus, we find another peak at 49 meters high. From here, the volcano is clearly visible. We go down in a depression. There, at the base of the volcano, a sing warns us about when next eruption will take place. Liquid lava is flowing to the sea.

We climb to the volcanic top. From there, we can see the incredible landscape. And there is a trambuline to jump in the crater, like in a swiming pool! There, at 73 meters high, we do the incredible. We jump in! We fall through lava and through fire. Then, we fall through water. And finally, we arrive, deep, in the center of the volcano. To get out of here, we have to fly.

Volcanic cone is a dangerous zone. In erruption time, it throws fireballs all directions, even inside the cone. The lava cauldron is a place where health is enabled. Even if down we are in a relative safe zone, up, near the surface, it is not a good idea to stay for long.

After this, we leave the volcano. We follow the coast until we detect a rezz zone (and there are not just one). From here, we can start sailing to any direction.

Tourist Route 3

This is a route for walking, horse riding or land rovers. It is not a mountain route. This way we will go to the highest plateau.

Tourist Route 4

This route allows us to see the space base, hidden in a crater. You need to go by swiming and then by foot.

This route will take us to the crater. We start in Byeulddongbyuel sim, on the shore. There is no rezz zone, so we have to swim 600 meters to Mos Anisley. When we get closer, two space shuttles are on the ocean floor.

Then, we reach the crater base. Climbing it is difficult, but not impossible. Highest altitude is 80 meters. There are 3 craters on the grid: one in Mountains Of Sharp Continent, one here and the last one in the moonbase. The main difference is that this crater and its base can be explored without any obstacles. It allows you to rezz objects and all scripts are allowed.

From here, we can swim 600 meters North, to Bongsoonhwa coast.

Tourist Route 5

This is a route for walking or horse riding. This way we will visit the only real mountains on continent surface.
