The Uru Relto, a stylized building from “Uru Live,” which is set to return after a two-year absence.

A version of the Relto as created by former “Uru Live” players in “Second Life.” After “Uru Live” got shut down, groups of several hundred passionate fans set up small-scale versions of the game in two other virtual worlds.
