Return to main : Second Life Road Network Directory


Roads on Satori (The "Japanese continent") comprise : Routes 8/8A/8B/8C and an offshoot, the Old Wagon Road  : Konichiwa!

Because of it's shape many call this the "Japanese" continent. With that in mind the roads and public buildings along these roads have an eastern stylistic flair. Originally the roads were supposed to connect, but due to mistakes when the land was divided as the regions were brought online many of the routes end in abrupt dead ends. A system of false tunnels and billboards at dead ends will offer teleports when touched to allow travelers to easily keep exploring the road network without having to backtrack or search the map for where the road picks up again.

Route 8

Bagheera Shelter.jpg

Route 8 Bagheera shelter, Bahheera

The Bagheera shelter at the end of the road is the perfect starting point for any exploration of the land. On the back wall is a large map of the continent showing the location of all the main routes; 8, 8A, 8B, 8C, and the Old Wagon Road. Smaller versions of this building exist all along the routes at various points to give explores an idea where they are on the overall map and to provide "rest stops".

Aragonese Tunnel.jpg

Route 8A Aragonese Tunnel, Aragonese

Yep, another false tunnel. This one connects the broken halves of RT8A between Aragonese and Ellingson.

Horns of Hattin.jpg

Route 8A Falling Rocks, Horns of Hattin

One of the most difficult tasks in constructing roads is figuring out what to do in "four corner" areas where the road runs through a spot where 4 regions meet. The region crossings can be very tricky in these spots. It's best to go slow and take the crossings one at a time. In this spot, the fallen rocks divert travelers in a way to guide them through the crossing along the best and least likely to end up crashing the client fashion.

Tawa.jpg

Route 8A Tawa Rest Stop, Tawa

Small rest area with a couple of benches, a map kiosk and some trees.

Camazotz.jpg

Route 8B Dead end, Camazotz

RT8B dead ends in Camazotz with a billboard sign that acts as a teleport link to the Old Wagon Road in Rethymno

The Old Wagon Road is a two-track unimproved roadway that only spans two regions. At either end are Billboard teleporters to take you other parts of RT8.

Ellingson.jpg

Route 8A dead end, Ellingson

The southern half of Route 8A ends in Eliingson where you will find two teleport billboards offering to let you continue on Route 8A in Aragonese or you can choose to go to Sababurg and take the Old Wagon Road.

Ogilvie.jpg

Route 8C Ogilvie, Valeyard/Davros

False tunnel that allows travelers to connect to RT8 in Soulgiver (if they touch the lantern on the left) or the Old Wagon Road in Sababurg (if they touch the lantern on the right).

Valeyard.jpg

Route 8C Valeyard/Davros Waterway, Valeyard/Davros

Rez a boat and you can travel between Valeyard and Davros just before RT8C meets RT8.
