The Magician's Nephew - Woods Between the Worlds

[Prokofy Neva]

Some of you may know the novel "The Magician's Nephew" by C.S. Lewis, from the Chronicles of Narnia. I have always loved this story and I decided to re-create it in Second Life.

Start the adventure here at the Garden House -- find the item that will take you Behind the Cistern as in the book, then through the attics to Uncle Andrew's Study (photo below).

You need to accept several experiences to be able to get the magic items to wear and enter the different realms. These were scripted by Fnordian Link.

Buy the Magic Rings for $10 (or the Deluxe set for $25 with a shoulder pet) and put them on (yellow to jump in the ponds; green to return to the Woods).

You jump into various ponds and get to different worlds -- some dying, some being born, some good, some evil. There are also a few ponds that lead to other realms from various beautiful places in SL.

In each world there are several mini-quests and side paths. You collect souvenirs and prizes and ultimately you get the Silver Apple to take to Digory's ailing mother to cure her.

I've still ironing out some kinks and there will be some areas built out more so I would love your suggestions.

Special thanks to Skye, Y.B. Designs, Shultz Brothers, THOR, Pater Taurog, EBDesigns and many others listed in the credits on site who make beautiful things to license to others to use in their projects.

What an awesome idea. I loved those books as a kid. (Still do, actually...)
