NEW ITEMS

NEW ISLAND: Manon has purchased a new island which lies close to Spirit City in the East. It is to be called Matara – meaning ‘Where Heaven Meets Earth’ - name chosen by Dragon. This is also the name of a town in the south tip of Sri Lanka – through which runs the river Nilwala. Manon would like this idea to be incorporated in the island. The island is closed for the moment pending landscaping. Manon needs the water passage by the Mystic Bazaar to remain open. Matara will show up on the SL map as one sim. Unfortunately the prims cannot be combined. It is hoped that the island may attract residents from the other spiritual groups and become ‘multi-cultural’. ACTION: Manon/Dragon.
