Isle of Pandateria

 One of my oldest friends in secondlife, Ocean, came to me a few months ago with idea for her new sim and asked if I would come play.  She knew I loved Ancient World Roleplay and  I fell in love with the concept right away. The story begins just after the exile and death of Julia The Elder the daughter of Augustus.

Welcome to the Isle of Pandateria, the year is 37AD and it is the first year of Emperor's Caligula's  reign.



The story for this sim is unique as it doesn't take place in a major city in the ancient world. The story is set on  a small island a few hours away from Italy. The exiles of Rome were sent to the island of  Pandateria for their crimes against the Empire. If they were lucky they would be allowed to live in the village and try to survive on their own. Others were locked away in the prison dependent on others to feed them.  
You arrive on the island by ship and what happens from there.... is where your story begins.



The conditions on the island were harsh and unforgiving. You have a choice of playing an exiled Roman Citzens, Roman Guard or a Pirate.  One  must find a job and food to survive which leads to great character stories.


The Prison on the island not only serves as a place for criminals but a reminder to all those on the island that we are all prisoners here is some way and a place you don't want to go to.


                     Pandateria to me is one of the best well designed sims out there. Jeio and Ocean out did themselves when they put the sim together. The landscapes and buildings are very picturesque. In my opinion is one of the base looking roleplay sims I have ever seen in secondlife.


The marketplace, Lupa, Prisons, caves, and outskirts of town lends to great roleplay and story opportunities. The sim is adult and adults themes run throughout the sim. 





Pandateria is a metered sim. I typically will skip over a sim that uses a meter however I have made the exception for Pandateria. Although  you can fight on the meter you do not have to. You can choose to roleplay fight or meter fight as well as have the option to use a dice if need be. The meter will also allow you to work and earn in-character coins. (not linden only roleplay money). There is a cost for the meter and weapons but don't let that deter you from experiencing some of the best roleplayers in secondlife. At least in my opinion they are.













This is a para-roleplay sim and I have enjoyed every scene I have done. The level of roleplay here is outstanding and if you are into good storyline, character development and ancient world this is definitely a sim to check out.  As for my character Luciana.......


Her story is just starting and so far she has been able to avoid being locked in the prison. She has met the Aedile who is rumored to be a nice guy but ...




She dreams of the day she will be taking back to her home in Rome. Her father will forgive her and she will be able to help restore her family back to the position it once held. 




For now she will continue to watch for that ship that may one day save her.


That is if the Gods allow her to survive.
