Something is amiss at The Endless Graveyard. Explore the tranquil, yet eerie forest and you may stumble upon a doorway to the supernatural.
Creator Lady Death Valknut started with a story, and as this narrative became more elaborate, this vast and mysterious place came together.
According to Lady Death,

"The story begins in Sweden, in the Victorian era, in a small town near the Norwegian border. This town was a booming mining town, with rich deposits of Iron, copper, silver, and gold. The town was swollen with wealth and elite society as a result of the profits from the mining ventures. Miners would traverse the forest each day to dig deeper and deeper in the mines to extract these precious metals. However, unbeknownst to the miners, the town and forest existed near the only mortal doorway into the Underworld, the realm of Death herself. Unexplained occurrences began to happen in the mine shafts. Finally, one day after a blast of dynamite was used to open the next chamber of the mine, the gate to the Underworld fell open and the dead came screaming out like a tidal wave.” |
As you walk around, subtle hints make it increasingly apparent that a macabre otherworldliness has enveloped this place. The dappled light that squeezes in from above is tinged with unnatural hues. Lanterns are shrouded in huge horns from animals that must look terrifying. Or are they carved bones?
Lady Death tells us, “For me, Second Life has always been a creativity outlet. It's the perfect place to combine my love of writing with my love of design. I have hundreds of stories in my head, and worlds to go with each of them. The theme of The Endless Graveyard is just one of those stories, and I chose it because it was one of the environments that best suited my character as Death.” As intricate as this region is, it is actually still being worked on and a full website will be available soon.
With SL, jumping right in and teleporting from place to place is a great way to get your bearings. This approach certainly worked for Lady Death: “I began Second Life by exploring places, getting lost in them, and finding hidden places. That is what made me fall in love with Second Life in the first place, and now I seek to create an environment destined to be explored, with hidden places that can only be found if one looks hard enough. I wish to pass on the joys I experienced in my newer days to the future Residents, something that sparks their imaginations and makes them think deeper about what they see on the surface.”
