The Black Swan is a creepy but fascinating arty explorers sim. When you enter the Black Swan, try to increase your Draw Distance above 250m to enjoy the beautiful surrounding. If you don't know how to do that please have a look over here. You will find a path in front of you which you might follow. Be careful because of some traps (this is just fun - you can't really die in Second Life). Try to walk the path without flying also it's really tricky to not fall off. Have a look around and enjoy the beautiful statues. One of them even comes to life. You will have to jump over lava, avoid spears shooting up the path, walk over a crumbly bridge... Once you arrived at the tied up angel, you will find a bright beam appearing behind him. Walk right into the beam and don't try to move when you're inside it. It will elevate you to some kind of twillight zone. Enjoy your stay.

Walk up the path over the bridges to have a great view over the island nature and enter the library where books can be read. Find the avatar oracle and get some sights about your future and don’t forget to feed the birds - it is worth to buy food for L$1, put it on the ground and wait until birds eat it away. At the TP arrival point a tour vehicle may be boarded and this will give you a first overview of the many details of Svarga.
