Mount G'al

Mount G'al is located inside *Mahulu* sim and is the central part of East Volcano Subcontinent. It is a high mountain, one of the highest on the grid, rising to 170 m high. Its high elevation is clearly visible on the altitude map. The volcano was created together with the rest of the subcontinent and up to this date it is an important topographic point and a distinctive feature of Sansara.

## Mount G'al

It is 170 m high. The volcano can be climbed by foot, as it is Protected Land. Land does not allow scripts and object entry, but it allows health damage. Be careful not to touch lava rivers and not to fall into the volcano as you will die (be teleported home, as avatars don't actually die).

The mountain has no vegetation on it and its ground texture resembles cooled lava. Climbing to its top is possible from any direction as long as you don't step on a lava river. Slope is steep but not impossible to climb.

## Surrounding Land

There are five rivers flowing out from the volcano. Also, there are five peninsulas that detach from the volcanic cone, advancing outwards. Many of the peninsulas can be used as walking paths as many times residents have made parks on them or they are covered with abandoned land.

The five rivers that originate from the volcano have many waterfalls. Sometimes they are connected to side ponds or have islands. Two of them merge together. There is also one river which does not flow into the ocean, but ends-up between mountains. All rivers are protected waterways and can be used for sailing. However, because of the waterfalls, navigation is impossible with conventional boats. The rivers start flowing at 40 m high. The river flowing to West is endorheic (no connection to the ocean) and ends in the next sim (Apukohai). The rivers flowing to North first flow to 25 m, then, after a second waterfall, to 20. Using the rivers is the best way to get from road close enough to the volcano cone.

## Infohub

The Mahulu Infohub is located close to the volcano, in West and North-West.

Close to the infohub, there is a private-owned piece of land called *Easy Street*. The best way to climb the volcano is from here. Easy Street holds a set of teleporters, landmark and notecard givers towards other destinations.

The infohub is small. At its center, there is a replica of the volcano. Its building is made of wood with many arched openings. It is a two level building without stairs leading to the second floor (there is a teleporter). The second floor is has chairs and tables for playing games, while the first level is the main gathering area. Within the first floor, there are four pillars with picture frames (8 pictures on each one). Not all of them are functional. The pictires can give you landmarks, links to info pages or notecards. Rotating hovering text can be seen circling around each pillar: *Where can I learn SL skills?*, *where do I find free stuff?*, *How do I learn the basics?* and *what can I see & do here?* Also, there is a small poster that explains how to use a teleport disk.

There are a few torches outside the infohub.
