>various fun places to explore

Speaking purely from the viewpoint of someone who built the Saewehna area, I'll drop some fun tips here on that one for those who would like to explore there.


*Lagoon - Tons of fun messaging there, and the descriptions (both on the shoreline and in the water) change dramatically at night. Don't forget to check out the small cove behind the waterfall, which is a great little hidey hole for folks!

*Waterfall - Diving is a lot of fun but please make sure you aren't encumbered because the water does check for that. You do not have to change clothes to swim but if you are heavy, you will sink. You should also know some swimming or your trip won't go well, I fear. You can find the diving plateau along the trail that leads beside the waterfall itself. Those who are down below have a great view of your diving abilities, and those in the water already have their own unique views as well! Its a lot of fun!


*Huts around the Lagoon - There are a few huts around the lagoon that will customize various things found in the island for you. Feathers (found from the NPC bird wandering the Saewehna Jungle) and flowers (found in Saewehna and inland) can be taken there to customize into neat keepsakes. Just ASK the clerks about them. There is also another hut where you can buy food and all NPCs for the huts have fun messaging if you are around long enough.

*Storms - As with any rainforest, if you stick around, you are bound to get caught in a storm. Saewehna is no different, and you will find a wonderful little storm brews once in a while throughout the area, leaving you soaking wet and your clothings/items dripping in the process. (Note: Staying in the water during the storm is a totally unique view of the storm!)

*Saewehna Beach - There is a tidepool with neat little creatures, several mood messages regarding the creatures that inhabit the area and a beautiful night vs. day description along the beach. I enjoy the otters and the whale myself but you ahve to hang out for a while to see them all!

*Quicksand/Marsh/Swamp - As with most jungles, it won't always be beauty and fun. There are some darker sides to the jungle and it includes quicksand, swamps and decay. If you like that sort of thing, explore around a bit and you'll find it!

*Mood Messaging in General - tons and tons throughout the area, just a matter of catching it. there are also a LOT of interactive items so please make sure to LOOK/TOUCH/ETC as much as you can! Its fun to see the new things come to life!
Hope that helps out some! I really had a blast with the area, and after ALAE did such a wonderful job with the Jungle itself, I simply added in the lagoon and built off of their genius! Hope you guys enjoy it!
