Now called Silvanus, Chakryn was built by the hobbit Andrek Lowell, an "brilliant forest builder" as quoted by Bettina Tizzy, owner of Chakryn, and blogger extraordinare of
" Not Possible IRL". The land,1/4 of a sim, includes a real forest, a tree house, a secret grotto,the Marat by AM Radio, and the Theory of Everything (scientists take note!) Enjoy wandering tonight.---pasted from notecard about Theory of Everything----An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything-that’s what scientist and surfer dude A. Garret Lisi calls his TOE (Theory of Everything). I don’t claim to understand it, but it certainly makes a pretty picture.So I imported it into Second Life and put it onto a giant prim. And it makes a pretty prim too.The big breakthroughs in science tend to be simple and beautiful too -think Albert Einstein’s E=MC Squared, so lets hope this one turns out to be true. The kicker with this one is that it predicts a whole bunch of new elementary particles as well as all the ones we already know about, which means that the theory is verifiable, unlike the current favorite TOE, string theory, which is pretty much unprovable. Interview with Lisi here....... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article2889309.eceThe theory in pdf format, for those who can understand these things….http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/0711.0770 Original picture by jared, & borrowed from his Flickr stream … though SL reduced the image quality which is a shame.

Great land to enjoy, whether called Chakryn Forest or Silvanus
I spent a couple of weeks enjoying the natural beauty of Chakryn (the name Silvanus I never noticed anywhere...notecards, landmarks, classified listings, etc.). I also enjoyed playing and completing the quests; it was great fun. I fulfilled quests for the Fairies, Hobbits and the Spring Water, enjoyed the mystery of the memorial grotto (although I didn't quite get enough explanatory information about it) and got as far as finding and putting all but one coloured orb on the pedestal to figure out what that was all about. Great fun and I highly recommend it to nature lovers and game lovers who like searching for things. =)
