I was hopping around the interwebz the other day and found out about one of the most beautiful and eerie placed in Second Life: Bentham Forest. Words just don't do this build justice. Take the SLURL I gave you, set your environment settings to Midnight, and go. Now ^.~Several forests I've visited in SL make it very hard to suspend my disbelief. There is usually too much bare ground, the land is too flat, and there are not nearly enough plants and trees. And besides that, apart from looking around the build isn't very interactive.
In contrast, walking through Bentham Forest makes you feel like the woods are closing in around you. The trees are huge and knarled, and there are bushes and moss and other plants that cover the rough terrain. You'll be climbing over hills and cliffs, wading t
hrough streams, and marvel at the shafts of dim light that barely cut through the treetop canopy. There are creepy lights everywhere, and sometimes you catch a brief glimpse of eyes in the darkness. Yes, in a place such as this, you can't expect to find yourself wandering alone ^.^What tickled my fancy the most was the fact that this build isn't just for looks. There are 3 quests (that I know of) you can do while visiting Bentham Forest, if you can find the magical beings that offer the quest to you. I don't want to give too much away, but as will all quests you can expect to be rewarded for your perseverance and your bravery!
My favorite place in Bentham Forest? It would have to be here:
Have fun!
