"In Series 2, Episode 9, we visit a fabulous location from the dim past: Svarga. It was created in 2006 by Laukosargas Svarog, and even in those days it was a must-see destination — an excellent example of the virtual builder’s craft.  It’s immersive, and uses a rich mixture of shape and texturing to evoke the world of the Gods from Slavic mythology.

It’s one of the regions preserved by Linden Lab as being of special historical interest — and we also discuss the SLRPS (Second Life Region Preservation Society) and some of the other historic regions preserved under its banner."
