NOTE: THIS ARTICLE WILL BE FINISHED ON JANUARY 1ST 2014. PLEASE WAIT
The East Linden-owned continents, except for Sharp Continent, share some common features. Unlike the central and old continents, their Geography consists mainly of plains and plateaus. Basically, the term defines all mountains found on other Linden-owned continent except for Heterocera, Sansara and Jeogeot. Sharp Continent has its own article about its mountains (see below the lists of mountain articles), so it will also be excluded from list.
As much as possible, this article is created using the style of a touristic guide.
Generations
Based on the age they were created, all mainalnd continents can be grouped in 3 generations. More then this, each generation has some common Geographic features.
Generation 1 includes the so-called Old World: Sansara, Sharp Continent and Heterocera. Jeogeot is a transitional continent between generations 1 and 2. These continents have some common features: very high mountains (over 300 meters), high diversity of Geographic features, a big amount of Protected Land, highly developed transportation networks and a higher population density.
Generation 2 includes the so-called New World: Corsica, Nautilus, Satori, Gaeta 1 and Gaeta 5. These continents have a less spectacular Geography, with large plains and plateaus, lower fragmentation, smaller mountains (below 200 meters) and smaller declivity. Mountains are rare. These continents have more Abandoned Land and their population density is a lot lower. Transportation network is low developed and sometimes does not cover the whole continent. The comparation is also because Satori looks like South america and the new continents are separated by Central Ocean exactly how Atlantic Ocean separates in real world America from the old world.
Generation 3 includes the last continents built: Zindra and the four Premium Continents. These structures are smaller and created by a complete different concept: Much of the land is perfect flat, ground texture is different and altitudes much lower. Premium continents are a result of Geographic clonation, while Zindra is much more complex even then second generation continents.
The New World
Basically, only Nautilus and Satori have mountains. Even so, a paragraph can be said about the other continents:
Corsica
Corsica has no mountain, but large, endless plateaus surrounded by plains. The highest point was detected in Android sim, 163 meters. Seen from coast, it looks like a mountain, even if it is in fact the border of a plateau. It is close to the shore, so a good way to explore it is to start from nearby Laserlight sim, on the circuit road, at 65 meters high. Climbing is not an easy task because there are many walls created by terraforming and a lot of Land With Restricted Access. Up, there is a flat plateau with high altitudes and not very populated. Ground texture is that of rocky, dried land.
From here, we can walk almost any direction. Population density is low on the plateau.
Gaeta 1
This small and unfinished continent has the reputation of being the most unpopulated continent. Entire sims are made of abandoned land and there is even land that has never been sold. This continent is made of a large, endless plain. Even so, it still has a notable maximum altitude of 100 meters in Lemontal sim. Unfortunately, the highest parcel of the continent has access restrictions.
Gaeta 1 is a good place for sailing. Its waters are less populated and this makes it very quiet. Unknown for many residents is that this little continent is one of the best place for horse riding and off-road driving. A bit more difficult is to find a rezz zone, but once you found it, driving is not a problem. This continent has only two small beach roads. You can rezz a vehicle anywhere on them and then you can start exploring.
Gaeta 5
Gaeta 5 is similar to Gaeta 1, only that it is complete and more populated. This continent is formed of low plains ahd high plains. It has a large central depression. Even so, this plain continent has the record of being higher then all other continents listed here.
Suppose we make a West-East trip through Gaeta 1. We will start at a road, close to the shores. Near roads, there are many buildings and it might be difficult to get through them. Then, construction density decreases. Next, we see a hill, in fact it is the separation between low plains and high plains. A maximum altitude can be reached in Ischel, 150 meters. In its nearby sim, Poidor, the highest point is 168 meters high, inside a large wooden building with restricted access. While we continue our trip, altitude decreases slowly, so slow that we don't even notice. This is a plain full of terraforming remnants, a lot of walls very difficult to get accross. Flying might be the only access way, even if we are in a low plain. Then, a lot of inhabited parcels can be seen. There is a road in front of us, but it becomes difficult to reach it. Gaeta 5 has a very low network density. And to make things even worse, many parcels around the roads have access restrictions. They use ban lines, entity orbs and very often they are encircled by walls or large prims. Except for an endless terraformed plain, there is almost nothing to see here. Finally, we will reach another road and then the East end of this continent.
Satori
Satori is the only continent in the new world that has mountains. These mountains are small and found in a single place. All other 'mountains' are in fact plateau borders that sepparates the higher plains (plateaus) from the lower ones.
Highest altitude is in Ennin sim, where you can find plateaus with 128 meters high (recently, by terraforming, someone increased its land altitude to 131 meters). To get there, it is easy. There are many roads around and walking on abandoned land is not difficult.
Mountains of Satori are small and form a little mountain range. They stretch through Carrion, Lycanthrope and Mabinogion sim. They are a separation line between a low plain (to West) and a depression (to East), both partially flooded. This might be the only touristic mountain route in the new world:
We start our journey in Totem sim, on the road. From here, at a very careful look, we might see to East some small mountains. We leave the road and start walking. We climb a bit on the plain, to an altitude of 63 meters (the road was at 55). The mountains are now clearly visible and the end of a lake can be seen to left. We go down to reach the water. At this point, we start climbing. It is not important what route we follow (actually, there is no path). Soon, we reach the top. To North (left), we can see how the mountains are smaller and soon end in water. To South, (right) it looks like they are even higher and this is the way we will go. We follow the mountains South. In Carrion, maximum altitude is 84 meters. To left, we see a lake and a rural area. To right, the plain is flat to the horison. We enter Lycanthrope sim, where altitude is 79 meters and there is a sharp plateau on top of the mountain. Then, altitude decreases to 67 and a building is on our right. We start climbing again, to 83 meters, near a forest. We find a second plateau (77 meters), then climb to another peak (85 meters, highest point on this mountain range). Soon after this, we enter Mabinogion sim. A large lake is visible to our right, whil on left, we see a dry depression and the high plains of Satori far away. Altitude drops to 55 meters, then we climb one low peak, mount Loogaroo (71 meters). This is a nice place to relax, with Roman columns and an aquarium. Finally, in Lobishomen sim, the mountains end in an amusament park. Behind it, they are unrecognisable in the surrounding plain. Here, we should go left (East), trying to reach the road in Camazotz sim. For this, we have to go through the hills that separate low plains from high plains. These hills are very affected by terraforming.
Third Generation
These continents replaced slope plateaus with perfect flat ones. They have an alternance of terraces.
Premium continents
All 4 premium continents have similar features. Premium East is the most complete. It has two sims with mountains, forming a Japanese garden. The same garden can be found in Premium South 2 and Premium South 3 and in exactly the same place, South-West. These mountains are 156 meters high, in contrast with 63, the highest point on the plateaus. The mountains are made for decorative reasons, not for climbing, but climbing them is not forbidden. This park is the most interesting place on premium continents. It really worths a visit.
