Pyri

Pyri is a Subcontinent located in North - West of Jeogeot. SLGI team gave it the transitory name **B050**.

## Hystory

At first, Pyri was a sim in Heterocera and still exists, inside West Atoll subcontinent.

Pyri Subcontinent was created after Jeogeot got its shape, around 2008 to 2010. At that time, it was not connected to the rest of the continent through any strait of Protected Land (road or waterway). To make access more easy, inside Pyri sim (Heterocera) was built a box office. From there, one can teleport to the entrance of Pyri Subcontinent. At that time, the central sim, *Pyri Funfair*, was built, together with a few nearby sims and waterways to East.

Naughty Mole built a giant underground network of caves and mines, tunnels that lead to hidden treasures but also to many dangers.

Much later, in 2019, the remaining sims to West were added, allowing people to circumnavigate Pyri Funfair. In the same time, new waterways were opened, ensuring navigation between Jeogeot Gulf and Sansara.

## Structure

The subcontinent is made of 11 sims, forming almost a rectangle. Pyri Funfair is the central sim and the heart of Pyri Island, an island that is surrounded by waterways.

## Geography

The subcontinent is composed of Pyri Island and surrounding waterways. There are two more islands to East, in Jilseo and Banpo sims. Both islands are sand-covered, with low altitudes. There is a small dock on Banpo Island.

Pyri Island is the highest place in Jeogeot (see Mountains Of Jeogeot for details). The island has many high cliffs made of black rock and a lot of gulfs. There is a dock in North Forepaw. When an avatar reaches the Banpo dock, a boat is rezzed and there and can take you to North Forepaw dock.

From North Forepaw, a dirt road climbs all the way to Pyri Funfair. The fair is at an altitude of 114 m, on a plateau surrounded by mountains. There are many things on the plateau, but the most important is the tunnel of love. You must first get a ticket and wear it in order to take a ride. However, as you ride, the rail car will disintegrate and you will fall through a pit into the cave.

The altitude map reveals an interesting feature. The central sim, Pyri Funfair, appears as a deep hole. In part, it is true, as all ground structures are actually sculpted prims. Also, surrounding the cave area, mountains are very high. Altitude map comes from a survey from late 2018. At that time, the Western sims were not built yet.

## The Cave

The Pyri cave is the largest of all underground buildings (caves or mines) existing in Second Life. It has 3 levels. Level 1 is at an elevation of 76 m, level 2 at 40 m, while level 3 is at 16 to 22 m, partially flooded. The cave network is composed of many caverns connected by tunnels. Some tunnels are dead-end. There are a few bridges passing over pits. Crossing them is tricky. There are also pits that go to a dead end.

Dangers lurk in the caves, including spiders, inventory worms and traps. There are also many items that can be collected, like supplies, treasures and swords. Each time you die (as avatars don't die), you are teleported home. A map will appear and will allow you to return to the tunnel of love.

## Access

Until late 2019, there was no strip of Protected Land linking mainland Jeogeot with Pyri. The only way to get there was to go to Pyri box office in Heterocera (at the end of route 3A). From there, one will teleport to Banpo Island dock. A boat will ferry between the dock and Pyri Island. Then, one would walk all the way up to Pyri Funfair, take the tunnel of love and enter the cave. Then, passing through all three levels, one will finally reach the big prize, *Prim Of Life*, then will find a teleporter back to surface.

Currently, there is open waterway towards Jeogeot Gulf and the SLGI Fleet has one ship arriving at North Forepaw dock every 6 hours.

Within Pyri, flying is not allowed. Also, teleporting is not permitted except for a few places.
