<div>[[File:photo-relto.jpg|200px|thumb|right|<br />
(Reh = The, Ehl = High, To = Place)<br />
----<br />
Author: [[Yeesha]]<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Date Found: 03/12/02<br /><br />
Date Released: 14/11/04<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Book location: [[The Cleft]]<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Designation: [[D’ni]] Age]]<br />
<br />
Relto was Written by [[Yeesha]] as a gift to her parents [[Atrus]] and [[Catherine]]. It was meant to resemble the Age of [[Myst]] with Yeesha herself commenting that she placed the library in the same location as it would have been on Myst.<br />
<br />
It is unknown when in her life Relto was written but it must have been before she started along the path that lead to [[The Grower]]. This can be ascertained by the recorded messages she left behind where she demonstrated a loathing towards the Age of Myst and so would be unlikely to create an Age in the image of a place she despised. Indeed it is likely that Relto was Written before she turned sixteen which is when she left [[Tomahna]] to head into D'ni.<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-relto-old-book.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
[http://drcsite.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37&sid=28c083412ced50713efdc73a6be37a7d First mention] of Relto came on December third 2002 by [[Dr. Marie Sutherland]] after she witnessed some of the '[[Uru Explorers]]' arriving in [[D'ni]] via [[Jeff Zandi]]. The first few explorers received Relto Books which had a silver medallion on the cover, however later explorers received Books without the medallion the reason for the change is unknown. However the original Books are still out there albeit extremely rare.<br />
<br />
The Relto Book itself presented two new concepts that were previously considered impossible when following the D'ni rules of Writing. Firstly the Relto Book follows the owner to the Age when he or she uses it. The Books themselves have a clip on the back that allows the explorer community to attach them to their belts. It is possible this is how the Book is able to follow the owner through as when attached to the belt it falls under the 'one-step' rule of Linking. However if it was that simple it is likely the D'ni would have discovered this method long ago so it is likely that there is other factors that must be considered as well. <br />
Secondly the Relto Book allows for the user to Link from within Relto to another point in the same Age. This again was a concept that was unheard of with the D'ni Writing.<br />
Thirdly, the Relto Book allows for the concept of Relto Pages which in turn allows for owners of the Age to add or remove items within the Age at will (see: Relto Page section below).<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Relto is a small island high up in the clouds, surrounded by smaller spires of rock. At first glance the Age is rather sparse, some small pine trees and scrub grass along with a single small hut structure.<br />
<br />
Within the stone hut is an empty wardrobe and two book shelves. One bookshelf contains a couple of journals with Yeesha's notations regarding the various Ages (Gahreesen, Teledahn, etc) along with a blank journal. The other is, at first, mostly empty save for a Linking Book to one of the D'ni neighbourhoods.<br />
<br />
Due to Yeesha's superior Writing skills, each person who obtains a Relto Linking Book ends up having their own 'instance' or alternate reality of the Age to call their own.<br />
<br />
It is also due to these skills Yeesha has as a Writer that allows the Age to 'evolve' as the explorer who 'owns' the Age progresses along [[The Journey]] that Yeesha set up for us to follow. Relto Pages allow for explorers to add and remove certain items and wildlife from Relto. Allowing for a myriad of wildlife to be added as well as structural improvements to the hut and other times.<br />
<br />
It is still unknown how exactly Yeesha is able to do this. It is likely she had established the Age and made it stable then added editions (much like Atrus added a boat to Stoneship) afterwards with a mechanism that allows for these Garohertee to be activates or negated at will. One can draw this theory due to the nature behind the Age, it being a gift to Atrus and Yeesha and a homage to Myst. At the time Yeesha wrote this (which I have speculated to be before she turned sixteen) she would not have had the skills which makes the Relto Pages possible. It is likely she added these elements years later after she had obtained [[The Tablet]] and lost it again as a reward system for those who decided to follow her path.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Phil Henderson's Relto==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-relto-phend.jpg|200px|thumb|left|]]<br />
[[Phil Henderson]] was the first of the DRC members to take The Journey and the first to acquire a Relto Book. After his supposed death, Henderson's Book was taken by his friend [[Douglas Sharper]]. Douglas later placed it within the [[Spyroom]] a hidden location within Ae'gura. In early 2004 explorers found their way to this Spyroom and through it to Henderson's Relto. Thus far this has been the only example of people linking to someones Relto without their permission. <br />
<br />
Henderson's Relto is very similar to the state of Relto once one has walked The Journey. There are, however, several differences. Chief amongst these is that Henderson's Relto is almost in a state of perpetual twilight. If the sun does rise it hasn't been noticed by visitors. <br />
The second major difference is that Henderson's Book shelf is full. Whilst this isn't too much of a surprise given his standing with the DRC (they have access to Ages most explorers don't) it also shows he has traveled further along Yeesha's path than anyone else (save perhaps [[Dr. Richard Watson]]).<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<!-- ==Prelto==<br />
<br />
"Prelto" was a name coined by [[Sophie Thomas]] to mean Prison Relto. During the aftermath of the death of [[David Clarke]] and the fleeing of [[James Rofen]] Sophie Thomas obtained a no longer used Relto Book from a former Third Path member. Upon the Age Sophie removed all Linking Books and fortified the hut to serve as a prison room. Later she managed to track James Rofen down and trap him on the Age where he remained until he escaped.<br />
<br />
"Prelto" remains abandoned, currently the Linking Book resides in the Third Path Archive.<br />
<br />
The Age itself is very similar to variations already seen but with some notable differences. The Age has no trees and no [[Relto Pages]] and the sky is constantly grey and overcast. The hut itself has had its windows bricked up and a new secure roof installed. The hut door has been changed out for a heavier locking door with a small sliding opening. <br />
<br />

<br />
==Wildlife==<br />
<br />
'''Buteo Reltois''' - A specie of hawk that is native to Relto. It bears a striking resemblance to the Zone-tailed Hawk found at [[The Cleft]].<br />
<br />
'''Crimson Kadish''' - Native to the Age of Kadish Tolesa the Crimson Kadish can originally be found fluttering around the Kadish Vault. With the use of one of the Relto Pages the butterfly can be introduced to Relto.<br />
<br />
'''Chirteetahm Kemo''' - Native to the Age of [[Eder Kemo]] the Chirteetahm Kemo (or Fire Organism Kemo as it translates from D'ni) are small fireflies that are attracted to the human body. As they come with you when you take a step forward these organism fall under the 'one step' Linking rule. Because of this it is possible to take them from Eder Kemo and introduce them to the Age of Relto.<br />

==Relto Page Additions==<br />
<br />
[[Relto Pages]] are fragments of paper that can be found within multiple Ages and areas of D'ni. These pages can be added to a Relto Book allowing for changes to take place within the Age itself. As such they afford a degree of customization to the Age. Adjusting the Descriptive Book of an Age is generally forbidden as it can result in dangerous changes being added or causing instabilities within that Age. Yeesha has somehow found a way around these problems during her advancement of The Art. The pages commonly depict the change it brings to Relto by pictograph. These changes when added to Relto can be activated and deactivated as one pleases. <br />

<br />
After John "Fighting Branch" Loftin discovered the tunnels to D'ni in 1987. John and his friends Elias "Eli" Zandi and Dr. Richard Watson made the trip to D'ni. It was due to this interaction that Jeff Zandi became aware of the D'ni cavern. Over the years he accompanied his father to D'ni on multiple accounts.<br />
<br />
It was during such a trip in 1995 that Jeff and his father had a substantial philosophical disagreement regarding the further of the D'ni cavern. Elias held the view that the restoration of D'ni should be physical, whereas Jeff felt strongly that the restoration should be spiritual. The result of this argument was that neither Zandi would speak to each other again.<br />
<br />
A year later in 1996 Jeff's father died of a heart attack. Whilst he left Jeff no money (instead leaving his wealth to the D.R.F) he did leave the land surrounding [[The Cleft]] to his son.<br />
<br />
It's unknown when or how Zandi became aware of Yeesha and her journey but he was certainly knowledgable about her plans. <br />

In 2001 Jeff began his plan to bring people down to D'ni, circumventing the DRC's attempts to limit footfall in the cavern.</div>K.Lordhttp://dniexplorer.com/archive/index.php?title=Jeff_Zandi&diff=1311Jeff Zandi2024-05-19T19:23:05Z<p>K.Lord: </p>

Who actually wrote Ahnonay is open for interpretation still. Many suspect it to be the work of [[Guild Master Kadish]], however, given Kadish's flawed Writing style<ref>R. Miller - RMPOT5:04 Document ([[Unreleased Documents]])</ref> but superior engineering style it is likely he purchased the Age and oversaw the construction work. It is speculated that the Age is in fact a "Torus Age" like that Written by [[Katran]]. However heavy mist below the waterfall makes this impossible to say for sure. If it is then this Age would most likely be considered an illicit Age in the eyes of the D'ni.<br />
<br />
Ahnonay is a testament to Kadish's fantastic engineering skills and his delusions. Using his skills he constructed a massive machine that was able to hold, and rotate, four stadium-sized spheres, each of which gave the illusion of being Ages on the inside. Built into a massive water vortex, Kadish used the vortex of water to power his gigantic sphere machine. He then used the spheres to imitate time travel and deceive his audiences into believing that he was a religious figure more powerful than any Writer…or even time itself.<br />
<br />
Combining the “time travel” illusion of Ahnonay with [[Er'cana]] and the pellets that lit up the [[D’ni]] lake. Kadish sought to establish himself as the “[[Grower]]” that was spoken of in [[Words]], the series of prophecies by [[The Watcher]].<br />
<br />
A vast mechanism of pressure plates was the backbone of the Age. Kadish would take visitors to the Age and show them the various stages in time. This was accomplished by using the pressure plates to trigger the rotation of the spheres after the last person Linked out. They would then be taken back to the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] where they would use the Book to Link back to the same spot as before. Only it would look different due to the spheres rotating thus giving the impression of time travelling.<br />
<br />
The weight on the plates could be seen on the “clocks” (often erroneously referred to as life form detectors) found in spheres one, two, and three.<br />
<br />
At the end of the [[D'ni Restoration Council|DRC's]] first restoration effort, Ahnonay had been suspended in Phase 4 development. During the second restoration effort, it was still in Phase 4 as of 28/06/07. However, it was released to the public a week later.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
The actual Age of Ahnonay is a vast vortex waterfall roughly 3 miles in diameter, that on first impressions seems to operate a lot like Catherine’s Torus Age. This has given rise to speculation that the Age is, in fact, an illicit one and not Written by Kadish.<br />
<br />
Sitting upon the sides of the immense vortex is the vast mechanism that contains the four spheres and their ability to rotate. Within each sphere, there is a different illusion that is supposed to be the [[Ronay]] home world [[Garternay]] at different points in time.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 1:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The Ronay home world before the disaster that befell it. That is the illusion Kadish presented with Sphere 1.<br />
<br />
A rocky island surrounded by blue waters sits below a pinkish sky. Littering the island are a number of Terrose, trees with rose-coloured foliage these artificial trees give the impression of thriving wildlife. Small quadruped crustaceans known as Quabs have also found their way into Sphere One, however they originated from the true part of Ahnonay itself. Offshore a small island can be found with a tower upon it, within are the controls for the water current. In the distance, surrounding the island large looking structures carved from rock can be seen. This too is part of the illusion, as the structures are nothing but paintings on tall metal screens. Behind one such screen lies the access tunnel to the maintenance area.<br />
<br />
Sphere 1 is how Ahnonay is most commonly depicted.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 2:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-02.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 2 represents Garternay as it was before the Ronay splinter group moved to the D’ni cavern. Gone are the pink clouds, now replaced with grey skies and frequent storms. The Quabs and water have also disappeared, instead, a blanket of fog covers the areas where the water once was. The Terrose are no longer visible in Sphere 2. In their place sit delicate trees of crystal reminiscent of lightning (from which they may likely get their name) that easily shatter at a touch. These "Ning Trees" are caused by lightning striking the ground. Of course, like most of Ahnonay, the lightning is artificially generated.<br />
<br />
The rock here is riddled with cracks. The weight indicator in the center of the island mass is damaged yet still working. With the lack of water, access to the Sphere 2 maintenance area can be difficult. Use of the journey cloths are the only means to reach that destination.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 3:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-03.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 3 was said to be Garternay as it would be in the future.<br />
<br />
The island is heavily fractured, seemingly floating in a starry expanse. At the center, the familiar “clock” is now completely useless and broken. Nothing lives in Sphere 3, no Quabs or Ning not even the scrub grass of the previous two spheres. However, Sphere Three is where the Firds prefer to nest, favoring the darkened environment of the sphere.<br />
<br />
Surrounding the shattered island is a vast grey ring akin to the rings of Saturn. On closer inspection, however, it appears to be constructed from D’ni imager technology. Like Sphere 2 access to the maintenance area of Sphere 3 is only possible through the use of the cloths.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 4:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-04.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 4 never reached completion as the Fall took place before it could be finished. <br />
Sphere 4 was to be Garternay after Kadish had rebuilt it. Only a select few devout followers were allowed to see Sphere 4.<br />
<br />
Throughout the sphere, visitors can see masses of scaffolding rising up all over the area. Vast cog-shaped walkways span the area where the island would have been in the previous 3 spheres. Instead of the weight indicator clock at the center, there is a vast statue of Kadish, arm raised high holding a sphere.<br />
<br />
Like Sphere 3, Sphere 4 has no wildlife that can be seen.<br />
<br />
==Maintenance Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01-maintenance.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Each of the four spheres contains access to the Maintenance Room. Sphere 1 is the only sphere that allows access to the Maintenance room from the Link in point. The other three spheres require the use of the cloths, leading one to wonder how Kadish accessed the rooms.<br />
<br />
The maintenance rooms have very little in them aside from pipes. However, through the Maintenance rooms, one can access the Observation Room.<br />
<br />
==Observation Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-viewing-room.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Inside the Observation Room, amongst the vast workings of Ahnonay sits a large imager that displays the four Spheres. It is currently unknown whether the view presented on the imager is real-time or just images to indicate which sphere is currently aligned with the Observation Room. <br />
<br />
Below the walkway lies a seat that takes visitors down to the Vogondola. The Vogondola will then skirt the edge of the water vortex along a track leading to Kadish’s quarters.<br />
<br />
==Kadish’s Quarters:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-quaters.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Kadish's quarters served as a sleeping area and workshop/office for Guild Master Kadish with the workshop being separated from the sleeping area via a locked door.<br />
<br />
The chair mechanism brings visitors from the Vogondala to a small rectangular room laced with pipes. To the right sits a sleeping cot, and to the left is a combination lock mechanism that grants access to Kadish's Workshop (the solutionto this can be found in the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] and [[Kadish Gallery]]).<br />
<br />
==Kadish's Workshop==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-lab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The workshop is a spherical room that continues the familiar cog motif that is found everywhere in Ahnonay. A large window looks out onto the vortex, a vast waterfall that dominates the Age and provides power to the sphere mechanism. <br />
<br />
A doorway on the far side opens to a balcony overlooking the waterfall. At the center of the workshop sits a cog-shaped work area with taps descending from the ceiling to provide drinkable water.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Notable Wildlife==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-tbc.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Firds''' Firds are a strange combination of bird and fish who are native to the exterior Ahnonay environment. They feed off of plankton that live in the water as well as small insects that ride the wind currents above the water. <br />
The creatures four wings aid in adapting to the environment’s harsh conditions. Fairly often the Firds can be seen jumping from the water and immediately changing their position so that they can fly above the water without immediately being sucked back in by gravity.<br /><br />
Because of Firds’ suction-like bodies they often nest in the rocks and crevasses around the water. Their eyes are luminescent and at night form an eerie sight as they are piled one on another in any rock or crevasse they can find.<br />
The creatures have managed to find their way into Sphere One through the crack in the wall although they don’t appear to especially enjoy the environment. Not only is there a large number of Quabs (who apparently annoy Firds) but the environment is also completely different then what they are used to with the relationship between air and water.<br /><br />
Firds have also found their way into Sphere Three through a broken grate and because of its dark environment usually rest in the many rocks and crags within the sphere. Though Firds don’t seem to be especially afraid of people they rarely allow them to get too close, especially when nesting as a result the Firds have remained unseen by most explorers.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:wildlife-quab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Quabs''' Quabs are a fairly small crab-like creature. They are native to the Ahnonay exterior environment and feed on the small protozoa that live within the waterfall. Over time the Quabs have managed to find their way into Sphere One.<br />
In Sphere One they have managed to breed quite nicely and built up a fairly strong population of around fifty. Because so many are constantly being sucked into the whirlpool, fifty is a relatively strong number. As a result they now live on the crescent landmass and continually activate the pressure plates on the landmass. Though the Quabs usually stay on the land, they are not afraid of water and, if forced into it, usually manage to swim around for sometime.<br /> <br />
Quabs are near neutrally buoyant so that they don't activate pressure plates while in the water. They are fairly friendly creatures who seem undeterred by humans although are found to be frightened by loud noises. <br /><br />

At the end of the [[D'ni Restoration Council|DRC's]] first restoration effort Ahnonay had been suspended in Phase 4 development. During the second restoration effort it was still in Phase 4 as of 28/06/07. However it was released to the public a week later.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
The actual Age of Ahnonay is a vast vortex waterfall roughly 3 miles in diamter, that on first impressions seems to operate a lot like Catherine’s Torus Age. This has given rise to speculation that the Age is in fact an illicit one and thusly not Written by Kadish.<br />
<br />
Sitting upon the sides of the immense vortex is the vast mechanism that contains the 4 spheres and their ability to rotate. Within each sphere there is a different illusion that is supposed to be the [[Ronay]] home world [[Garternay]] as different points in time.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 1:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The Ronay home world before the disaster that befell it. That is the illusion Kadish presented with Sphere 1.<br />
<br />
A rocky island surrounded by blue waters sits below a pinkish sky. Littering the island are a number of Terrose, trees with rose-coloured foliage these artificial trees give the impression of thriving wildlife. Small quadruped crustaceans known as Quabs have also found their way into Sphere One, however they originated from the true part of Ahnonay itself. Offshore a small island can be found with a tower upon it, within are the controls for the water current. In the distance, surrounding the island large looking structures carved from rock can be seen. This too is part of the illusion, as the structures are nothing but paintings on tall metal screens. Behind one such screen lies the access tunnel to the maintenance area.<br />
<br />
Sphere 1 is how Ahnonay is most commonly depicted.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 2:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-02.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 2 represents Garternay as it was before the Ronay splinter group moved to the D’ni cavern. Gone are the pink clouds, now replaced with grey skies and frequent storms. The Quabs and water have also disappeared, instead, a blanket of fog covers the areas where the water once was. The Terrose are no longer visible in Sphere 2. In their place sit delicate trees of crystal reminiscent of lightning (from which they may likely get their name) that easily shatter at a touch. These "Ning Trees" are caused by lightning striking the ground. Of course, like most of Ahnonay, the lightning is artificially generated.<br />
<br />
The rock here is riddled with cracks. The weight indicator in the center of the island mass is damaged yet still working. With the lack of water, access to the Sphere 2 maintenance area can be difficult. Use of the journey cloths are the only means to reach that destination.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 3:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-03.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 3 was said to be Garternay as it would be in the future.<br />
<br />
The island is heavily fractured, seemingly floating in a starry expanse. At the center, the familiar “clock” is now completely useless and broken. Nothing lives in Sphere 3, no Quabs or Ning not even the scrub grass of the previous two spheres. However, Sphere Three is where the Firds prefer to nest, favoring the darkened environment of the sphere.<br />
<br />
Surrounding the shattered island is a vast grey ring akin to the rings of Saturn. On closer inspection, however, it appears to be constructed from D’ni imager technology. Like Sphere 2 access to the maintenance area of Sphere 3 is only possible through the use of the cloths.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 4:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-04.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 4 never reached completion as the Fall took place before it could be finished. <br />
Sphere 4 was to be Garternay after Kadish had rebuilt it. Only a select few devout followers were allowed to see Sphere 4.<br />
<br />
Throughout the sphere, visitors can see masses of scaffolding rising up all over the area. Vast cog-shaped walkways span the area where the island would have been in the previous 3 spheres. Instead of the weight indicator clock at the center, there is a vast statue of Kadish, arm raised high holding a sphere.<br />
<br />
Like Sphere 3, Sphere 4 has no wildlife that can be seen.<br />
<br />
==Maintenance Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01-maintenance.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Each of the four spheres contains access to the Maintenance Room. Sphere 1 is the only sphere that allows access to the Maintenance room from the Link in point. The other three spheres require the use of the cloths, leading one to wonder how Kadish accessed the rooms.<br />
<br />
The maintenance rooms have very little in them aside from pipes. However, through the Maintenance rooms, one can access the Observation Room.<br />
<br />
==Observation Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-viewing-room.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Inside the Observation Room, amongst the vast workings of Ahnonay sits a large imager that displays the four Spheres. It is currently unknown whether the view presented on the imager is real-time or just images to indicate which sphere is currently aligned with the Observation Room. <br />
<br />
Below the walkway lies a seat that takes visitors down to the Vogondola. The Vogondola will then skirt the edge of the water vortex along a track leading to Kadish’s quarters.<br />
<br />
==Kadish’s Quarters:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-quaters.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Kadish's quarters served as a sleeping area and workshop/office for Guild Master Kadish with the workshop being separated from the sleeping area via a locked door.<br />
<br />
The chair mechanism brings visitors from the Vogondala to a small rectangular room laced with pipes. To the right sits a sleeping cot, and to the left is a combination lock mechanism that grants access to Kadish's Workshop (the solutionto this can be found in the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] and [[Kadish Gallery]]).<br />
<br />
==Kadish's Workshop==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-lab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The workshop is a spherical room that continues the familiar cog motif that is found everywhere in Ahnonay. A large window looks out onto the vortex, a vast waterfall that dominates the Age and provides power to the sphere mechanism. <br />
<br />
A doorway on the far side opens to a balcony overlooking the waterfall. At the center of the workshop sits a cog-shaped work area with taps descending from the ceiling to provide drinkable water.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Notable Wildlife==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-tbc.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Firds''' Firds are a strange combination of bird and fish who are native to the exterior Ahnonay environment. They feed off of plankton that live in the water as well as small insects that ride the wind currents above the water. <br />
The creatures four wings aid in adapting to the environment’s harsh conditions. Fairly often the Firds can be seen jumping from the water and immediately changing their position so that they can fly above the water without immediately being sucked back in by gravity.<br /><br />
Because of Firds’ suction-like bodies they often nest in the rocks and crevasses around the water. Their eyes are luminescent and at night form an eerie sight as they are piled one on another in any rock or crevasse they can find.<br />
The creatures have managed to find their way into Sphere One through the crack in the wall although they don’t appear to especially enjoy the environment. Not only is there a large number of Quabs (who apparently annoy Firds) but the environment is also completely different then what they are used to with the relationship between air and water.<br /><br />
Firds have also found their way into Sphere Three through a broken grate and because of its dark environment usually rest in the many rocks and crags within the sphere. Though Firds don’t seem to be especially afraid of people they rarely allow them to get too close, especially when nesting as a result the Firds have remained unseen by most explorers.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:wildlife-quab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Quabs''' Quabs are a fairly small crab-like creature. They are native to the Ahnonay exterior environment and feed on the small protozoa that live within the waterfall. Over time the Quabs have managed to find their way into Sphere One.<br />
In Sphere One they have managed to breed quite nicely and built up a fairly strong population of around fifty. Because so many are constantly being sucked into the whirlpool, fifty is a relatively strong number. As a result they now live on the crescent landmass and continually activate the pressure plates on the landmass. Though the Quabs usually stay on the land, they are not afraid of water and, if forced into it, usually manage to swim around for sometime.<br /> <br />
Quabs are near neutrally buoyant so that they don't activate pressure plates while in the water. They are fairly friendly creatures who seem undeterred by humans although are found to be frightened by loud noises. <br /><br />

<br />
Who actually wrote Ahnonay is open for interpretation still. Many suspect it to be the work of [[Guild Master Kadish]], however given Kadish’s flawed Writing style<ref>R. Miller - RMPOT5:04 Document ([[Unreleased Documents]])</ref> but superior engineering style it is likely he purchased the Age and oversaw the construction work. It is speculated that the Age is in fact a "Torus Age" like that Written by [[Katran]]. However heavy mist below the waterfall makes this impossible to say for sure. If it is then this Age would most likely be considered an illicit Age in the eyes of the D'ni.<br />
<br />
Ahnonay is a testament to Kadish’s fantastic engineering skill and his delusions. Using his skills he constructed a massive machine that was able to hold, and rotate, four stadium-sized spheres, each of which gave the illusion of being Ages on the inside. Built into a massive water vortex, Kadish used the vortex of water to power his gigantic sphere machine. He then used the spheres to imitate time travel and deceive his audiences into believing that he was a religious figure more powerful than any Writer…or even time itself.<br />
<br />
Combining the “time travel” illusion of Ahnonay with [[Er'cana]] and the pellets that lit up the [[D’ni]] lake. Kadish sought to establish himself as the “[[Grower]]” that was spoken of in [[Words]], the series of prophecies by [[The Watcher]].<br />
<br />
A vast mechanism of pressure plates were the back bone of the Age. Kadish would take visitors to the Age and show them the various stages in time. This was accomplished by using the pressure plates to trigger the rotation of the spheres after the last person would Link out. They would then be taken back to the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] where they would use the Book to Link back to the same spot as before. Only it would look different due to the spheres rotating thus giving the impression of time traveling. <br />
<br />
The weight on the plates could be seen on the “clocks” (often erroneously referred to as life form detectors) found in spheres one, two, and three.<br />

In their place sit delicate trees of crystal reminiscent of lightning (from which they may likely get their name) that easily shatter at a touch. These "Ning Trees" are caused by lightning striking the ground. Of course, like most of Ahnonay, the lightning is artificially generated.<br />
<br />
The rock here is riddled with cracks. The weight indicator in the center of the island mass is damaged yet still working. With the lack of water, access to the Sphere 2 maintenance area can be difficult. Use of the journey cloths are the only means to reach that destination.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 3:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-03.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 3 was said to be Garternay as it would be in the future.<br />
<br />
The island is heavily fractured, seemingly floating in a starry expanse. At the center, the familiar “clock” is now completely useless and broken. Nothing lives in Sphere 3, no Quabs or Ning not even the scrub grass of the previous two spheres. However, Sphere Three is where the Firds prefer to nest, favoring the darkened environment of the sphere.<br />
<br />
Surrounding the shattered island is a vast grey ring akin to the rings of Saturn. On closer inspection, however, it appears to be constructed from D’ni imager technology. Like Sphere 2 access to the maintenance area of Sphere 3 is only possible through the use of the cloths.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 4:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-04.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 4 never reached completion as the Fall took place before it could be finished. <br />
Sphere 4 was to be Garternay after Kadish had rebuilt it. Only a select few devout followers were allowed to see Sphere 4.<br />
<br />
Throughout the sphere, visitors can see masses of scaffolding rising up all over the area. Vast cog-shaped walkways span the area where the island would have been in the previous 3 spheres. Instead of the weight indicator clock at the center, there is a vast statue of Kadish, arm raised high holding a sphere.<br />
<br />
Like Sphere 3, Sphere 4 has no wildlife that can be seen.<br />
<br />
==Maintenance Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01-maintenance.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Each of the four spheres contains access to the Maintenance Room. Sphere 1 is the only sphere that allows access to the Maintenance room from the Link in point. The other three spheres require the use of the cloths, leading one to wonder how Kadish accessed the rooms.<br />
<br />
The maintenance rooms have very little in them aside from pipes. However, through the Maintenance rooms, one can access the Observation Room.<br />
<br />
==Observation Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-viewing-room.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Inside the Observation Room, amongst the vast workings of Ahnonay sits a large imager that displays the four Spheres. It is currently unknown whether the view presented on the imager is real-time or just images to indicate which sphere is currently aligned with the Observation Room. <br />
<br />
Below the walkway lies a seat that takes visitors down to the Vogondola. The Vogondola will then skirt the edge of the water vortex along a track leading to Kadish’s quarters.<br />
<br />
==Kadish’s Quarters:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-quaters.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Kadish's quarters served as a sleeping area and workshop/office for Guild Master Kadish with the workshop being separated from the sleeping area via a locking door. <br />
<br />
The chair mechanism brings visitors up from the Vogondala to a small rectangular room laced with pipes. To the right sits a sleeping cot, and to the left is a combination lock mechanism that grants access to Kadish's Workshop (the combination can be found in the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] and [[Kadish Gallery]]).<br />
<br />
==Kadish's Workshop==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-lab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The workshop itself is a spherical room that continues the familiar cog motif that is found pretty much everywhere in Ahnonay. A large window looks out onto the "vortex" a huge waterfall that dominates the Age and provides power to the sphere mechanism. <br />
A doorway on the far side opens out to a balcony area which, like the window, over looks the huge waterfall.<br />
At the center of the workshop sits a cog shaped work area with taps descending from the ceiling to provide drinkable water.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Notable Wildlife==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-tbc.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Firds''' Firds are a strange combination of bird and fish who are native to the exterior Ahnonay environment. They feed off of plankton that live in the water as well as small insects that ride the wind currents above the water. <br />
The creatures four wings aid in adapting to the environment’s harsh conditions. Fairly often the Firds can be seen jumping from the water and immediately changing their position so that they can fly above the water without immediately being sucked back in by gravity.<br /><br />
Because of Firds’ suction-like bodies they often nest in the rocks and crevasses around the water. Their eyes are luminescent and at night form an eerie sight as they are piled one on another in any rock or crevasse they can find.<br />
The creatures have managed to find their way into Sphere One through the crack in the wall although they don’t appear to especially enjoy the environment. Not only is there a large number of Quabs (who apparently annoy Firds) but the environment is also completely different then what they are used to with the relationship between air and water.<br /><br />
Firds have also found their way into Sphere Three through a broken grate and because of its dark environment usually rest in the many rocks and crags within the sphere. Though Firds don’t seem to be especially afraid of people they rarely allow them to get too close, especially when nesting as a result the Firds have remained unseen by most explorers.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:wildlife-quab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Quabs''' Quabs are a fairly small crab-like creature. They are native to the Ahnonay exterior environment and feed on the small protozoa that live within the waterfall. Over time the Quabs have managed to find their way into Sphere One.<br />
In Sphere One they have managed to breed quite nicely and built up a fairly strong population of around fifty. Because so many are constantly being sucked into the whirlpool, fifty is a relatively strong number. As a result they now live on the crescent landmass and continually activate the pressure plates on the landmass. Though the Quabs usually stay on the land, they are not afraid of water and, if forced into it, usually manage to swim around for sometime.<br /> <br />
Quabs are near neutrally buoyant so that they don't activate pressure plates while in the water. They are fairly friendly creatures who seem undeterred by humans although are found to be frightened by loud noises. <br /><br />

<br /><br />
Book location: [[Ahnonay Cathedral]], [[Relto]]<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Designation: [[D’ni]] Age]]<br />
<br />
Who actually wrote Ahnonay is open for interpretation still. Many suspect it to be the work of [[Guild Master Kadish]], however given Kadish’s flawed Writing style<ref>R. Miller - RMPOT5:04 Document ([[Unreleased Documents]])</ref> but superior engineering style it is likely he purchased the Age and oversaw the construction work. It is speculated that the Age is in fact a "Torus Age" like that Written by [[Katran]]. However heavy mist below the waterfall makes this impossible to say for sure. If it is then this Age would most likely be considered an illicit Age in the eyes of the D'ni.<br />
<br />
Ahnonay is a testament to Kadish’s fantastic engineering skill and his delusions. Using his skills he constructed a massive machine that was able to hold, and rotate, four stadium-sized spheres, each of which gave the illusion of being Ages on the inside. Built into a massive water vortex, Kadish used the vortex of water to power his gigantic sphere machine. He then used the spheres to imitate time travel and deceive his audiences into believing that he was a religious figure more powerful than any Writer…or even time itself.<br />
<br />
Combining the “time travel” illusion of Ahnonay with [[Er'cana]] and the pellets that lit up the [[D’ni]] lake. Kadish sought to establish himself as the “[[Grower]]” that was spoken of in [[Words]], the series of prophecies by [[The Watcher]].<br />
<br />
A vast mechanism of pressure plates were the back bone of the Age. Kadish would take visitors to the Age and show them the various stages in time. This was accomplished by using the pressure plates to trigger the rotation of the spheres after the last person would Link out. They would then be taken back to the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] where they would use the Book to Link back to the same spot as before. Only it would look different due to the spheres rotating thus giving the impression of time traveling. <br />
<br />
The weight on the plates could be seen on the “clocks” (often erroneously referred to as life form detectors) found in spheres one, two, and three.<br />
<br />
At the end of the [[D'ni Restoration Council|DRC's]] first restoration effort Ahnonay had been suspended in Phase 4 development. During the second restoration effort it was still in Phase 4 as of 28/06/07. However it was released to the public a week later.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
The actual Age of Ahnonay is a vast vortex waterfall roughly 3 miles in diamter, that on first impressions seems to operate a lot like Catherine’s Torus Age. This has given rise to speculation that the Age is in fact an illicit one and thusly not Written by Kadish.<br />
<br />
Sitting upon the sides of the immense vortex is the vast mechanism that contains the 4 spheres and their ability to rotate. Within each sphere there is a different illusion that is supposed to be the [[Ronay]] home world [[Garternay]] as different points in time.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 1:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The Ronay home world before the disaster that befell it. That is the illusion Kadish presented with Sphere 1.<br />
<br />
A rocky island surrounded by blue waters sits below a pinkish sky. Littering the island are a number of Terrose, trees with rose-coloured foliage these artificial trees give the impression of thriving wildlife. Small quadruped crustaceans known as Quabs have also found their way into Sphere One, however they originated from the true part of Ahnonay itself. Offshore a small island can be found with a tower upon it, within are the controls for the water current. In the distance, surrounding the island large looking structures carved from rock can be seen. This too is part of the illusion, as the structures are nothing but paintings on tall metal screens. Behind one such screen lies the access tunnel to the maintenance area.<br />
<br />
Sphere 1 is how Ahnonay is most commonly depicted.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 2:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-02.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 2 represents Garternay as it was before the Ronay splinter group moved to the D’ni cavern. Gone are the pink clouds, now replaced with grey skies and frequent storms. The Quabs and water have also disappeared, instead, a blanket of fog covers the areas where the water once was. The Terrose are no longer visible in Sphere 2.

[[File:photo-sphere-01-maintenance.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Each of the four spheres contain access to the Maintenance Room. Sphere 1 is the only sphere that allows access to the Maintenance room from the Link in point, the other three spheres require the use of the cloths which leads one to wonder how Kadish accessed the other rooms.<br />
<br />
The maintenance rooms have very little in them aside from pipes. However through the Maintenance rooms one can access the Observation Room.<br />
<br />
==Observation Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-viewing-room.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Inside the Observation Room, amongst the vast workings of Ahnonay sits a large imager which displays the four Spheres. It is unknown currently whether the view presented on the imager is real time or just images to indicate which sphere is currently aligned with the Observation Room.<br />
Below the walkway lies a seat that takes visitors down to the Vogondola. This will then skirt the edge of the water vortex along a track leading to Kadish’s quarters.<br />
<br />
==Kadish’s Quarters:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-quaters.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Kadish's quarters served as a sleeping area and workshop/office for Guild Master Kadish with the workshop being separated from the sleeping area via a locking door. <br />
<br />
The chair mechanism brings visitors up from the Vogondala to a small rectangular room laced with pipes. To the right sits a sleeping cot, and to the left is a combination lock mechanism that grants access to Kadish's Workshop (the combination can be found in the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] and [[Kadish Gallery]]).<br />
<br />
==Kadish's Workshop==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-lab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The workshop itself is a spherical room that continues the familiar cog motif that is found pretty much everywhere in Ahnonay. A large window looks out onto the "vortex" a huge waterfall that dominates the Age and provides power to the sphere mechanism. <br />
A doorway on the far side opens out to a balcony area which, like the window, over looks the huge waterfall.<br />
At the center of the workshop sits a cog shaped work area with taps descending from the ceiling to provide drinkable water.<br />

<br />
[[File:photo-tbc.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Firds''' Firds are a strange combination of bird and fish who are native to the exterior Ahnonay environment. They feed off of plankton that live in the water as well as small insects that ride the wind currents above the water. <br />
The creatures four wings aid in adapting to the environment’s harsh conditions. Fairly often the Firds can be seen jumping from the water and immediately changing their position so that they can fly above the water without immediately being sucked back in by gravity.<br /><br />
Because of Firds’ suction-like bodies they often nest in the rocks and crevasses around the water. Their eyes are luminescent and at night form an eerie sight as they are piled one on another in any rock or crevasse they can find.<br />
The creatures have managed to find their way into Sphere One through the crack in the wall although they don’t appear to especially enjoy the environment. Not only is there a large number of Quabs (who apparently annoy Firds) but the environment is also completely different then what they are used to with the relationship between air and water.<br /><br />
Firds have also found their way into Sphere Three through a broken grate and because of its dark environment usually rest in the many rocks and crags within the sphere. Though Firds don’t seem to be especially afraid of people they rarely allow them to get too close, especially when nesting as a result the Firds have remained unseen by most explorers.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:wildlife-quab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Quabs''' Quabs are a fairly small crab-like creature. They are native to the Ahnonay exterior environment and feed on the small protozoa that live within the waterfall. Over time the Quabs have managed to find their way into Sphere One.<br />
In Sphere One they have managed to breed quite nicely and built up a fairly strong population of around fifty. Because so many are constantly being sucked into the whirlpool, fifty is a relatively strong number. As a result they now live on the crescent landmass and continually activate the pressure plates on the landmass. Though the Quabs usually stay on the land, they are not afraid of water and, if forced into it, usually manage to swim around for sometime.<br /> <br />
Quabs are near neutrally buoyant so that they don't activate pressure plates while in the water. They are fairly friendly creatures who seem undeterred by humans although are found to be frightened by loud noises. <br /><br />

<br /><br />
Book location: [[Ahnonay Cathedral]], [[Relto]]<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Designation: [[D’ni]] Age]]<br />
<br />
Who actually wrote Ahnonay is open for interpretation still. Many suspect it to be the work of [[Guild Master Kadish]], however given Kadish’s flawed Writing style<ref>R. Miller - RMPOT5:04 Document ([[Unreleased Documents]])</ref> but superior engineering style it is likely he purchased the Age and oversaw the construction work. It is speculated that the Age is in fact a "Torus Age" like that Written by [[Katran]]. However heavy mist below the waterfall makes this impossible to say for sure. If it is then this Age would most likely be considered an illicit Age in the eyes of the D'ni.<br />
<br />
Ahnonay is a testament to Kadish’s fantastic engineering skill and his delusions. Using his skills he constructed a massive machine that was able to hold, and rotate, four stadium-sized spheres, each of which gave the illusion of being Ages on the inside. Built into a massive water vortex, Kadish used the vortex of water to power his gigantic sphere machine. He then used the spheres to imitate time travel and deceive his audiences into believing that he was a religious figure more powerful than any Writer…or even time itself.<br />
<br />
Combining the “time travel” illusion of Ahnonay with [[Er'cana]] and the pellets that lit up the [[D’ni]] lake. Kadish sought to establish himself as the “[[Grower]]” that was spoken of in [[Words]], the series of prophecies by [[The Watcher]].<br />
<br />
A vast mechanism of pressure plates were the back bone of the Age. Kadish would take visitors to the Age and show them the various stages in time. This was accomplished by using the pressure plates to trigger the rotation of the spheres after the last person would Link out. They would then be taken back to the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] where they would use the Book to Link back to the same spot as before. Only it would look different due to the spheres rotating thus giving the impression of time traveling. <br />
<br />
The weight on the plates could be seen on the “clocks” (often erroneously referred to as life form detectors) found in spheres one, two, and three.<br />
<br />
At the end of the [[D'ni Restoration Council|DRC's]] first restoration effort Ahnonay had been suspended in Phase 4 development. During the second restoration effort it was still in Phase 4 as of 28/06/07. However it was released to the public a week later.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
The actual Age of Ahnonay is a vast vortex waterfall roughly 3 miles in diamter, that on first impressions seems to operate a lot like Catherine’s Torus Age. This has given rise to speculation that the Age is in fact an illicit one and thusly not Written by Kadish.<br />
<br />
Sitting upon the sides of the immense vortex is the vast mechanism that contains the 4 spheres and their ability to rotate. Within each sphere there is a different illusion that is supposed to be the [[Ronay]] home world [[Garternay]] as different points in time.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 1:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The Ronay home world before the disaster that befell it. That is the illusion Kadish presented with Sphere 1.<br />
<br />
A rocky island surrounded by blue waters sits below a pinkish sky. Littering the island are a number of Terrose, trees with rose-coloured foliage these artificial trees give the impression of thriving wildlife. Small quadruped crustaceans known as Quabs have also found their way into Sphere One, however they originated from the true part of Ahnonay itself. Offshore a small island can be found with a tower upon it, within are the controls for the water current. In the distance, surrounding the island large looking structures carved from rock can be seen. This too is part of the illusion, as the structures are nothing but paintings on tall metal screens. Behind one such screen lies the access tunnel to the maintenance area.<br />
<br />
Sphere 1 is how Ahnonay is most commonly depicted.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 2:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-02.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 2 represents Garternay as it was before the Ronay splinter group moved to the D’ni cavern. Gone are the pink clouds, now replaced with grey skies and frequent storms. The Quabs and water have also disappeared, instead, a blanket of fog covers the areas where the water once was. The Terrose are no longer visible in Sphere 2. In their place sit delicate trees of crystal reminiscent of lightning (from which they may likely get their name) that easily shatter at a touch. These "Ning Trees" are caused by lightning striking the ground. Of course, like most of Ahnonay, the lightning is artificially generated.<br />
<br />
The rock here is riddled with cracks. The weight indicator in the center of the island mass is damaged yet still working. With the lack of water, access to the Sphere 2 maintenance area can be difficult. Use of the journey cloths are the only means to reach that destination.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 3:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-03.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 3 was said to be Garternay as it would be in the future.<br />
<br />
The island is heavily fractured, seemingly floating in a starry expanse. At the center, the familiar “clock” is now completely useless and broken. Nothing lives in Sphere 3, no Quabs or Ning not even the scrub grass of the previous two spheres. However, Sphere Three is where the Firds prefer to nest, favoring the darkened environment of the sphere.<br />
<br />
Surrounding the shattered island is a vast grey ring akin to the rings of Saturn. On closer inspection, however, it appears to be constructed from D’ni imager technology. Like Sphere 2 access to the maintenance area of Sphere 3 is only possible through the use of the cloths.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 4:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-04.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 4 never reached completion as the Fall took place before it could be finished.<br />
Sphere 4 was to be Garternay after Kadish had rebuilt it. Only a select few devout followers were allowed to see Sphere 4.<br />
<br />
Throughout the sphere visitors can see masses of scaffolding rising up all over the area. Vast cog shaped walkways span the area where the island would have been in the previous 3 spheres.<br />
Instead of the weight indicator clock at the center, there is instead a vast statue of Kadish, arm raised high holding a sphere.<br />
<br />
Like Sphere 3, Sphere 4 has no wildlife that can be seen.<br />
<br />
==Maintenance Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01-maintenance.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />

<br />

'''Firds''' Firds are a strange combination of bird and fish who are native to the exterior Ahnonay environment. They feed off of plankton that live in the water as well as small insects that ride the wind currents above the water. <br />
The creatures four wings aid in adapting to the environment’s harsh conditions. Fairly often the Firds can be seen jumping from the water and immediately changing their position so that they can fly above the water without immediately being sucked back in by gravity.<br /><br />
Because of Firds’ suction-like bodies they often nest in the rocks and crevasses around the water. Their eyes are luminescent and at night form an eerie sight as they are piled one on another in any rock or crevasse they can find.<br />
The creatures have managed to find their way into Sphere One through the crack in the wall although they don’t appear to especially enjoy the environment. Not only is there a large number of Quabs (who apparently annoy Firds) but the environment is also completely different then what they are used to with the relationship between air and water.<br /><br />
Firds have also found their way into Sphere Three through a broken grate and because of its dark environment usually rest in the many rocks and crags within the sphere. Though Firds don’t seem to be especially afraid of people they rarely allow them to get too close, especially when nesting as a result the Firds have remained unseen by most explorers.<br /><br />

'''Quabs''' Quabs are a fairly small crab-like creature. They are native to the Ahnonay exterior environment and feed on the small protozoa that live within the waterfall. Over time the Quabs have managed to find their way into Sphere One.<br />
In Sphere One they have managed to breed quite nicely and built up a fairly strong population of around fifty. Because so many are constantly being sucked into the whirlpool, fifty is a relatively strong number. As a result they now live on the crescent landmass and continually activate the pressure plates on the landmass. Though the Quabs usually stay on the land, they are not afraid of water and, if forced into it, usually manage to swim around for sometime.<br /> <br />
Quabs are near neutrally buoyant so that they don't activate pressure plates while in the water. They are fairly friendly creatures who seem undeterred by humans although are found to be frightened by loud noises. <br /><br />

Date Released: 02/11/08<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Book location: [[Ahnonay Cathedral]], [[Relto]]<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Designation: [[D’ni]] Age]]<br />
<br />
Who actually wrote Ahnonay is open for interpretation still. Many suspect it to be the work of [[Guild Master Kadish]], however given Kadish’s flawed Writing style<ref>R. Miller - RMPOT5:04 Document ([[Unreleased Documents]])</ref> but superior engineering style it is likely he purchased the Age and oversaw the construction work. It is speculated that the Age is in fact a "Torus Age" like that Written by [[Katran]]. However heavy mist below the waterfall makes this impossible to say for sure. If it is then this Age would most likely be considered an illicit Age in the eyes of the D'ni.<br />
<br />
Ahnonay is a testament to Kadish’s fantastic engineering skill and his delusions. Using his skills he constructed a massive machine that was able to hold, and rotate, four stadium-sized spheres, each of which gave the illusion of being Ages on the inside. Built into a massive water vortex, Kadish used the vortex of water to power his gigantic sphere machine. He then used the spheres to imitate time travel and deceive his audiences into believing that he was a religious figure more powerful than any Writer…or even time itself.<br />
<br />
Combining the “time travel” illusion of Ahnonay with [[Er'cana]] and the pellets that lit up the [[D’ni]] lake. Kadish sought to establish himself as the “[[Grower]]” that was spoken of in [[Words]], the series of prophecies by [[The Watcher]].<br />
<br />
A vast mechanism of pressure plates were the back bone of the Age. Kadish would take visitors to the Age and show them the various stages in time. This was accomplished by using the pressure plates to trigger the rotation of the spheres after the last person would Link out. They would then be taken back to the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] where they would use the Book to Link back to the same spot as before. Only it would look different due to the spheres rotating thus giving the impression of time traveling. <br />
<br />
The weight on the plates could be seen on the “clocks” (often erroneously referred to as life form detectors) found in spheres one, two, and three.<br />
<br />
At the end of the [[D'ni Restoration Council|DRC's]] first restoration effort Ahnonay had been suspended in Phase 4 development. During the second restoration effort it was still in Phase 4 as of 28/06/07. However it was released to the public a week later.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
The actual Age of Ahnonay is a vast vortex waterfall roughly 3 miles in diamter, that on first impressions seems to operate a lot like Catherine’s Torus Age. This has given rise to speculation that the Age is in fact an illicit one and thusly not Written by Kadish.<br />
<br />
Sitting upon the sides of the immense vortex is the vast mechanism that contains the 4 spheres and their ability to rotate. Within each sphere there is a different illusion that is supposed to be the [[Ronay]] home world [[Garternay]] as different points in time.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 1:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The Ronay home world before the disaster that befell it. That is the illusion Kadish presented with Sphere 1.<br />
<br />
A rocky island surrounded by blue waters sits below a pinkish sky. Littering the island are a number of Terrose, trees with rose-coloured foliage these artificial trees give the impression of thriving wildlife. Small quadruped crustaceans known as Quabs have also found their way into Sphere One, however they originated from the true part of Ahnonay itself. Offshore a small island can be found with a tower upon it, within are the controls for the water current. In the distance, surrounding the island large looking structures carved from rock can be seen. This too is part of the illusion, as the structures are nothing but paintings on tall metal screens. Behind one such screen lies the access tunnel to the maintenance area.<br />
<br />
Sphere 1 is how Ahnonay is most commonly depicted.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 2:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-02.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 2 represents Garternay as it was before the Ronay splinter group moved to the D’ni cavern.<br />
Gone are the pink clouds, now replaced with grey skies and frequent storms. The Quabs and water have also disappeared, instead a blanket of fog that covers the areas where the water once was. The Terrose too are no longer visible in Sphere 2. In their place sit “Ning”. Delicate trees of crystal, reminiscent of lightning (from which they may likely get their name) that easily shatter to the touch. These "Ning Trees" are caused by lightning striking the ground. Of course like most of Ahnonay the lightning is artificially generated.<br />
<br />
The rock is now riddled with cracks and the weight indicator in the center of the island mass is damaged yet still working.<br />
With the removal of the water, access to the Sphere 2 maintenance area can be difficult, use of the “cloths” are the only means to reach that destination.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 3:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-03.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 3 was said to be Garternay as it would be in the future.<br />
<br />
The island is heavily fractured, seemingly floating in a starry expanse. At the center the familiar “clock” now completely useless and broken.<br />
Nothing lives in Sphere 3, no Quabs or Ning not even the scrub grass of the previous two spheres. However Sphere Three is where the Firds prefer to nest, favoring the darkened environment of the sphere.<br />
<br />
Surrounding the shattered island is a vast grey ring akin to that of Saturn. On closer inspection however, it appears to be constructed from D’ni imager technology.<br />
Like Sphere 2 access to the maintenance area of Sphere 3 is only possible through the use of the cloths.<br />
<br />
==Sphere 4:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-04.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Sphere 4 never reached completion as the Fall took place before it could be finished.<br />
Sphere 4 was to be Garternay after Kadish had rebuilt it. Only a select few devout followers were allowed to see Sphere 4.<br />
<br />
Throughout the sphere visitors can see masses of scaffolding rising up all over the area. Vast cog shaped walkways span the area where the island would have been in the previous 3 spheres.<br />
Instead of the weight indicator clock at the center, there is instead a vast statue of Kadish, arm raised high holding a sphere.<br />
<br />
Like Sphere 3, Sphere 4 has no wildlife that can be seen.<br />
<br />
==Maintenance Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-sphere-01-maintenance.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Each of the four spheres contain access to the Maintenance Room. Sphere 1 is the only sphere that allows access to the Maintenance room from the Link in point, the other three spheres require the use of the cloths which leads one to wonder how Kadish accessed the other rooms.<br />
<br />
The maintenance rooms have very little in them aside from pipes. However through the Maintenance rooms one can access the Observation Room.<br />
<br />
==Observation Room:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-viewing-room.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Inside the Observation Room, amongst the vast workings of Ahnonay sits a large imager which displays the four Spheres. It is unknown currently whether the view presented on the imager is real time or just images to indicate which sphere is currently aligned with the Observation Room.<br />
Below the walkway lies a seat that takes visitors down to the Vogondola. This will then skirt the edge of the water vortex along a track leading to Kadish’s quarters.<br />
<br />
==Kadish’s Quarters:==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-quaters.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
Kadish's quarters served as a sleeping area and workshop/office for Guild Master Kadish with the workshop being separated from the sleeping area via a locking door. <br />
<br />
The chair mechanism brings visitors up from the Vogondala to a small rectangular room laced with pipes. To the right sits a sleeping cot, and to the left is a combination lock mechanism that grants access to Kadish's Workshop (the combination can be found in the [[Ahnonay Cathedral]] and [[Kadish Gallery]]).<br />
<br />
==Kadish's Workshop==<br />
<br />
[[File:photo-kadish-lab.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
The workshop itself is a spherical room that continues the familiar cog motif that is found pretty much everywhere in Ahnonay. A large window looks out onto the "vortex" a huge waterfall that dominates the Age and provides power to the sphere mechanism. <br />
A doorway on the far side opens out to a balcony area which, like the window, over looks the huge waterfall.<br />
At the center of the workshop sits a cog shaped work area with taps descending from the ceiling to provide drinkable water.<br />
<br />

Book location: [[Nexus]], [[Relto]]]]<br />
The Figurine Shop can be located on the "Canyon Strip" of Ae'gura next door to the [[Kadish Gallery]]. It is a smallish shop that prior to The Fall sold statues and sculptures sourced from the Age of [[Rebek]]. Long ago Rebek was struck by a meteorite the result of which caused widespread magnetism within the rock. As a result there was a curious phenomenon where the rocks within the Age would levitate. These rocks were harvested from the Age and fashioned into artworks which were sold within the D'ni cavern. Examples of these artworks back be found in [[Eder Kemo]] and [[Eder Delin]]. <br />
<br />
The shop also served as the location for the Rebek Linking Book and the games that were held there were organized via the shop.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
The figurine shop is split into two sections, the gallery area and the warehouse.<br />
<br />
The gallery area is the initial area visitors enter, it is a small room with carved rock pillars formed to resemble organic shapes in an almost art nouveau design aesthetic. Several sculptural pieces are scattered about on display for purchasing. A small counter sits in front of a doorway that leads back into the warehouse area. A viewing balcony sits above the counter on the second floor.<br />
<br />
There warehouse was where the rock was imported and stored from Rebek. It was also here that the rock was formed into the sculptures that were sold in the store front. The warehouse is a simple "L" shaped room with a stairwell that leads up to a second level and to the balcony. A second exit from the shop can be found in the warehouse area that leads out to an alleyway that borders the Figurine Shop and [[Kadish Gallery]].<br />

Highgarden is a small area of [[Fahets]] that was discovered during an exploration trip across the Fahets mainland. Upon discovering the area Keith brought the other members of the Third Path council to visit the area. The council members spent more and more time relaxing in the area so it was turned into a garden for them.<br />
The area once had an abundance of flora and fauna which was greatly decimated by the destabilization event. Over the years the wildlife has slowly returned but not to the extent that it once was.<br />

==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Highgarden is situated at the summit of a smaller island off the coast of the Fahets mainland. It is a small tiered valley with dark grey rock that is pockmarked in places. Long grass grows around bright glowing blue flowers and strange spherical plants. Large trees shelter the area and the Norapods that can be found growing.<br />
The area has two ponds and structures reminiscent in style of [[Eder Kemo]]. The smaller pond is flanked by seven statues of D'ni craftsmanship which was gifted to the Third Path council by the D'ni artisan Tommen.<br />
<br />
A small room sits within the rock face at the bottom of a long stairwell which once served as the Book room. This room has since been repurposed as a small office. A larger Book Room was recently constructed next to the larger pond.<br />
<br />
The area once had a large butterfly population but this population has significantly decreased due to the spread of Crimson Blight.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Notable Wildlife==<br />
<br />
Spikius Regium - A bright yellow almost luminescent butterfly. They are a migratory species that were once abundant in Highgarden. Their migration route takes them past the Crimson Vale. As a result the species have contracted the Crimson Blight which has greatly reduced their numbers. Healthy specimens have been captured and segregated in the hopes of rebuilding the population once the blight has been contained.<br />
<br />
Civitas Dysonis - Highgarden is littered with these strange small spherical plants. Nestled in a bed of large leaves these plants grow surrounded by a webbed shell. On the inside of these webs are lots of little spikes. When it is time for the Dysonis to spread the inner sphere will inflate and push against the little spikes causing the sphere to burst and release seeds into the air.<br />
<br />
Norapod - A curious pod like plant from which it derives its name. These plants are actually fruit like in nature, with a firm outer skin which can withstand the constant rain, yet allow the water in to help itself grow. And a soft juicy center filled with seeds. The inner core greatly resembles a tomato in nature, however Norapods are a sweet tasting fruit with a slight bitter aftertaste.<br />
<br />
Small at “birth” they resemble small bluish balls on the ground until the start growing, causing the skins hue and texture to change. It is currently speculated that when the fruits get over ripe they burst spreading the seeds within. <br />

Highgarden is a small area of Fahets that was discovered during an exploration trip across the Fahets mainland. Upon discovering the area Keith brought the other members of the Third Path council to visit the area. The council members spent more and more time relaxing in the area so it was turned into a garden for them.<br />
The area once had an abundance of flora and fauna which was greatly decimated by the destabilization event. Over the years the wildlife has slowly returned but not to the extent that it once was.<br />
<br />
When the Third Path dissolved following the Bahro civil war the area went unused for a number of years until Keith decided to open it to the public. In January 2022 he and members of the [[Guild of Restorers]] started preparing the area for release. After several months of work the area was opened to the public in a short ceremony in [[Chiso Preniv]] on the 1st of October 2022.<br />

The council members spent more and more time relaxing in the area so it was turned into a garden for them.<br />
The area once had an abundance of flora and fauna which was greatly decimated by the destabilization event. Over the years the wildlife has slowly returned but not to the extent that it once was.<br />
<br />
<quote>Welcome everyone, it's been a long time since I last released a Linking Book to the community.<br />
<br />
About 12 years I believe, 12 long years.<br />
<br />
Not that I've been idle in that time mind you, I have Written several Ages over the years and have been restoring several more that my team an I have discovered in the cavern.<br />
<br />
But Fahets is special to me, it is the first Age I ever Wrote which is why I named it "First" in D'ni. Now it's the first explorer Written Age to come through a more official channel of release than what we used in the past.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy this area of Fahets. Highgarden was a small garden area that the Third Path council used for relaxation. The Third Path has disbanded over the years for a myriad of reasons, so I thought it was time to open the area to you guys to enjoy.<br />
<br />
I should warn you however, that Highgarden is a remote area of Fahets and the nights there are dark and some may find it darker than others depending on what you're used to.<br />
<br />
So, with all that said. I'd like to present Fahets: Highgarden. Thank you Patrick for helping to get this area ready for release and thank you everyone for your support.</quote><br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Highgarden is situated at the summit of a smaller island off the coast of the Fahets mainland. It is a small tiered valley with dark grey rock that is pockmarked in places. Long grass grows around bright glowing blue flowers and strange spherical plants. Large trees shelter the area and the Norapods that can be found growing.<br />
The area has two ponds and structures reminiscent in style of [[Eder Kemo]]. The smaller pond is flanked by seven statues of D'ni craftmanship which was gifted to the Third Path council by the D'ni artisan Tommen.<br />
<br />
A small room sits within the rock face at the bottom of a long stairwell which once served as the Book room. This room has since been repurposed as a small office. A larger Book Room was recently constructed next to the larger pond.<br />
<br />
The area once had a large butterfly population but this population has significantly decreased due to the spread of Crimson Blight.</div>K.Lordhttp://dniexplorer.com/archive/index.php?title=Fahets&diff=1277Fahets2022-10-02T19:59:21Z<p>K.Lord: /* Highgarden */</p>

<br /><br />
Designation: Human Age]]<br />
<br />
Fahets was the first successful Age that was Written by [[Keith Lord]]. <br />
<br />
After initial visits were made to the Age, the [[Linking Book]] was misplaced in [[The Third Path|The Third Path’s]] archives and remained missing for a couple of years before being discovered again. In that time the Age had flooded badly from rain and the water needed to be pumped out before work could progress on developing the Age for public release.<br />
<br />
The Age went through a period of destabilization due to minor flaws within the [[Kormahn]]. As a result the landscape was effected causing rifts in the floor and rock face. The Age was later stabilized and has remained stable since.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Fahets is a large island with a series of smaller islands scattered off its coast. The area of the main island varies from jungle forests and swamp land to barren rocky area. Whilst the Age is relatively large visitors only have access to the "Basin" and Highgarden area currently.<br />
<br />
During the destabilization of the Age a large section of the Fahets island to the south collapsed into the sea creating a new island off the coast.<br />
<br />
==The Basin==<br />
<br />
The Basin, also referred to as Fahets "Prime", is the name given to the initial Link in point for the Age. It is a grassy area situated within a small basin surrounded by a rocky forest. The area is rich in wildlife with numerous plants growing throughout. At the bottom of the basin is a small pond. The area was prone to heavy rains which often caused the basin to flood. As a result a large water pump was installed to keep the water levels down.<br />
<br />
During the destabilization of Fahets the land within the basin shifted resulting in the basin floor, and pond, becoming tiered. A section of the basin walls collapsed allowing easier access to the area outside of the basin. This collapse was secured and a new path built to make accessing the outer area of the basin safer. <br />
<br />
Populating the area are large columns of carved stone that in some areas have fused with the surrounding landmass.<br />
<br />
==The Crimson Vale==<br />
<br />
Originally known as The Vale, it was once a serene area with large mushrooms surrounding a lake. After the destabilization event there has been a curious change in the area. There have been changes to the plants in the area causing them to grow significantly larger than they were once capable of, furthermore red spores cover the area like snow causing the trees and other plant life to take on a red colour. This has resulted in the air in the area has become unsafe without the use of Maintainer suits. What has caused this change has yet to be determined but this "infection" as it has been termed is slowly expanding outwards and threatens the Basin area as well.<br />
<br />
An air tight observation point has been constructed to keep an eye on the "Crimson Blight" and study it in the hopes it can be stopped or reversed.<br />
<br />
==Highgarden==<br />
<br />
[[Highgarden]] is a small garden area situated on the top of a small island off of the north western shore of the main Fahets island.<br />
<br />
The area was discovered by Keith during a trek across the main island of Fahets. It was later developed into a rest area for members of the Third Path Council. When the council disbanded the area lay unused until Keith decided to release it to the general public. The Linking Book for Highgarden was made public on the 1st of October 2022 and can be found in [[Chiso Preniv]]<br /><br />
<br />
==The Hub==<br />
<br />
Whilst not actually an area for Fahets, the hub serves and a "nexus" of sorts allowing for access between the various areas of Fahets.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Wildlife==<br />
<br />
Norapod: A curious pod like plant from which it derives its name. These plants are actually fruit like in nature, with a firm outer skin which can withstand the constant rain, yet allow the water in to help itself grow. And a soft juicy center filled with seeds.<br />
The inner core greatly resembles a tomato in nature, however Norapods are a sweet tasting fruit with a slight bitter aftertaste.<br />
<br />
Small at “birth” they resemble small bluish balls on the ground until the start growing, causing the skins hue and texture to change. It is currently speculated that when the fruits get over ripe they burst spreading the seeds within.<br />
<br />
Rusteart Plant: Small leaved plants that are dotted around the Age, named after the words Rust and Heart due to the rusty colour of the leaves near the center of the plants formation. These plants thrive on minimal rain, but to much will easily kill them, which is why currently not many are found on Fahets and have only recently started growing as the water had been pumped from the Age.<br />
<br />
White Star Lilly: So called due to the small white flower that sits in the center of the lilly pads, White Star Lillies share the Norapods nature in the sense that both live extremely well in very wet conditions. The Lillypads themselves can reach a large size, big enough to support human weight, currently only the small ones can be found. The flowers themselves lend a sweet delicate scent to the pond that combats the musky scent of the waters algae nicely.<br />
<br />
Needle Grass - long sharp grass<br />
<br />
Stiltwalkers - Tripod creatures with really long legs. Feed on the leaves of the Mangrove trees. They make a strange forlorn humming sound to communicate with each other.<br />
<br />
Glowcap - Mushrooms with bioluminescent caps.<br />
<br />
Mangark (Grass Shark) - Aquatic lizard like creature. Has long spines on back that looks like blades of grass. The spines extrude a paralytic which they use to paralyze animals and eat them when they fall into the water. Paralytic is capable of subduing humans.<br />
<br />
Chaaus - Weird pod things that collect underneath trees and rocks. Give off a blue light. May be egg sacks for the Croombs.<br />
<br />
Croombs - Weird little mushroom crabs<br />
<br />
Mangrove Trees -<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Vikah Mushrooms - <br />
<br />

<br />
19-10-09: Issues resolved thanks to a group of outside helpers, thanks goes to you.<br />
<br />
Age passed Phase 5, Linking Book has now been publicly released.<br />
<br />
18-10-09: A few issues pushed back Phase 5 approval.<br />
<br />
17-10-09: Some minor repairs have been made to the piping for the water pump.<br />
<br />
Authorized explorers "Vid" and "Paradox" stop by for a visit.<br />
<br />
Age is up for review to see if it passes Phase 5 and reaches approval for public release.<br />
<br />
13-10-09: Minor cleanup work commencing.<br />
<br />
10-10-09: Age passes Phase 4 approval, Phase 5 commencing, limited access has been expanded to those authorized.<br />
<br />
09-10-09: The results from the Norapod sample sent off for testing have returned, the plant, or fruit has it turns out, is apparently safe for consumption, members are now flipping a coin to see who gets to try it first.<br />
<br />
A pedestal for the Ages book of commentary is being crafted to be placed in the Age, due to the high water in the Age the book will be placed under cover.<br />
<br />
07-10-09: Sophie and her team have managed to construct a crude pumping system that will be better equipped to deal with the heavy rainfall. The pump has been installed next to the pond, her team will continue to refine it as time goes by.<br />
<br />
Supply crates have been brought in to aid in the development process.<br />
<br />
05-10-09: Water has built up again due to the recent rain, Sophie’s team is looking into developing a new pumping system following some D’ni examples found.<br />
<br />
Studies into the “Norapods” that grow within the Age have commenced.<br />
<br />
11-09-09: We’ve returned to the Age to inspect it since the last visit. It has been determined that the battle against the rainfall is a loosing one, as a result the pumps have been removed from the Age.<br />
<br />
The next few days will involve testing the new wildlife that has grown to see if it is safe for the general public, we may then see about giving the Book out.<br />
<br />
30-06-09: Work temporarily suspended.<br />
<br />
25-06-09: Work on the Age recommences after a long hiatus. Pumps has forgotten to be turned on during the hiatus, as a result the heavy rain fall the Age is prone to has once again flooded the area.<br />
<br />
22-08-08: Plans for development have been given a complete overhaul. Water levels have lowered significantly.<br />
<br />
21-08-08: Descriptive Book rediscovered after being missing for about 2 years. Age has been badly flooded due to the heavy rainfall over the years. Nexus Book has been damaged to the point where it is unsafe to use, the Book has been removed. Assessment of the water revealed that it has become stagnant, pumps have been brought in to remove the water. Plans drawn up for Age development.<br />
<br />
02-02-07: Copying the Age text from the practice book to the Korteenea has been completed. Initial visit to the Age has taken place and samples taken to assess for safety. Results returned as clear, exploration and mapping commencing.<br />

Author: K.Lord<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Date Written: 02/03/07<br /><br />
Date Released: 19/10/09<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Book location: <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Designation: Human Age]]<br />
<br />
Fahets was the first successful Age that was Written by [[Keith Lord]]. <br />
<br />
After initial visits were made to the Age, the [[Linking Book]] was misplaced in [[The Third Path|The Third Path’s]] archives and remained missing for a couple of years before being discovered again. In that time the Age had flooded badly from rain and the water needed to be pumped out before work could progress on developing the Age for public release.<br />
<br />
The Age went through a period of destabilization due to minor flaws within the [[Kormahn]]. As a result the landscape was effected causing rifts in the floor and rock face. The Age was later stabilized and has remained stable since.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Fahets is a large island with a series of smaller islands scattered off its coast. The area of the main island varies from jungle forests and swamp land to barren rocky area. Whilst the Age is relatively large visitors only have access to the "Basin" and Highgarden area currently.<br />
<br />
During the destabilization of the Age a large section of the Fahets island to the south collapsed into the sea creating a new island off the coast.<br />
<br />
==The Basin==<br />
<br />
The Basin, also referred to as Fahets "Prime", is the name given to the initial Link in point for the Age. It is a grassy area situated within a small basin surrounded by a rocky forest. The area is rich in wildlife with numerous plants growing throughout. At the bottom of the basin is a small pond. The area was prone to heavy rains which often caused the basin to flood. As a result a large water pump was installed to keep the water levels down.<br />
<br />
During the destabilization of Fahets the land within the basin shifted resulting in the basin floor, and pond, becoming tiered. A section of the basin walls collapsed allowing easier access to the area outside of the basin. This collapse was secured and a new path built to make accessing the outer area of the basin safer. <br />
<br />
Populating the area are large columns of carved stone that in some areas have fused with the surrounding landmass.<br />
<br />
==The Crimson Vale==<br />
<br />
Originally known as The Vale, it was once a serene area with large mushrooms surrounding a lake. After the destabilization event there has been a curious change in the area. There have been changes to the plants in the area causing them to grow significantly larger than they were once capable of, furthermore red spores cover the area like snow causing the trees and other plant life to take on a red colour. This has resulted in the air in the area has become unsafe without the use of Maintainer suits. What has caused this change has yet to be determined but this "infection" as it has been termed is slowly expanding outwards and threatens the Basin area as well.<br />
<br />
An air tight observation point has been constructed to keep an eye on the "Crimson Blight" and study it in the hopes it can be stopped or reversed.<br />
<br />
==Highgarden==<br />
<br />
Highgarden is a small garden area situated on the top of a small island off of the north western shore of the main Fahets island.<br />
<br />
The area was discovered by Keith during a trek across the main island of Fahets. It was later developed into a rest area for members of the Third Path Council. When the council disbanded the area lay unused until Keith decided to release it to the general public. The Linking Book for Highgarden was made public on the 1st of October 2022 and can be found in [[Chiso Preniv]]<br />
<br />
[[Highgarden|Full Highgarden Entry]]<br />
<br />
==The Hub==<br />
<br />
Whilst not actually an area for Fahets, the hub serves and a "nexus" of sorts allowing for access between the various areas of Fahets.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Wildlife==<br />
<br />
Norapod: A curious pod like plant from which it derives its name. These plants are actually fruit like in nature, with a firm outer skin which can withstand the constant rain, yet allow the water in to help itself grow. And a soft juicy center filled with seeds.<br />
The inner core greatly resembles a tomato in nature, however Norapods are a sweet tasting fruit with a slight bitter aftertaste.<br />
<br />
Small at “birth” they resemble small bluish balls on the ground until the start growing, causing the skins hue and texture to change. It is currently speculated that when the fruits get over ripe they burst spreading the seeds within.<br />
<br />
Rusteart Plant: Small leaved plants that are dotted around the Age, named after the words Rust and Heart due to the rusty colour of the leaves near the center of the plants formation. These plants thrive on minimal rain, but to much will easily kill them, which is why currently not many are found on Fahets and have only recently started growing as the water had been pumped from the Age.<br />
<br />
White Star Lilly: So called due to the small white flower that sits in the center of the lilly pads, White Star Lillies share the Norapods nature in the sense that both live extremely well in very wet conditions. The Lillypads themselves can reach a large size, big enough to support human weight, currently only the small ones can be found. The flowers themselves lend a sweet delicate scent to the pond that combats the musky scent of the waters algae nicely.<br />
<br />
Needle Grass - long sharp grass<br />
<br />
Stiltwalkers - Tripod creatures with really long legs. Feed on the leaves of the Mangrove trees. They make a strange forlorn humming sound to communicate with each other.<br />
<br />
Glowcap - Mushrooms with bioluminescent caps.<br />
<br />
Mangark (Grass Shark) - Aquatic lizard like creature. Has long spines on back that looks like blades of grass. The spines extrude a paralytic which they use to paralyze animals and eat them when they fall into the water. Paralytic is capable of subduing humans.<br />
<br />
Chaaus - Weird pod things that collect underneath trees and rocks. Give off a blue light. May be egg sacks for the Croombs.<br />
<br />
Croombs - Weird little mushroom crabs<br />
<br />
Mangrove Trees -<br />
<br />

<div>[[File:photo-direbo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|<br />
(Direbo = Wheel)<br />
----<br />
Author: Unknown<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Date Found: Currently Unknown<br /><br />
Date Accessed: 20/09/05<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Book location: [[The Great Shaft]]<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Designation: [[D’ni]] Age]]<br />
<br />
Direbo was a D'ni rest Age but did not use the "Eder" prefix like [[Eder Kemo]], [[Eder Gira]], [[Eder Delin]], and [[Eder Tsogahl]] did.<br />
The original location of the Direbo Book is unknown but it was found in the [[Eder Tomahn]] located in [[The Great Shaft]]. There is a belief within the explorer community that this was the original home for the Book, but given how the D'ni blocked off The Great Shaft and all but forgot about it the likelihood of them placing a Linking Book there is very slim.<br />
<br />
The Age was used at a hub, connected to four other Ages by [[Yeesha]] and the [[Bahro]] in order to facilitate the freeing of the Bahro.<br />
<br />
The Age is currently under a restoration initiative by the [[Intangibles Group]]<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Direbo is a gloomy swamp like Age surrounded by a forest of tall stone columns. Several small islands break the surface of the swamp and are connected by arched wooden bridges. The Age has a perpetual twilight atmosphere with a thick purple haze covering the area.<br />
<br />
Small insects like Chirteetahm and Dragonflys flitter throughout the columns of rock and mushrooms that protrude from the swampy waters.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Bahro Influence==<br />
<br />
At some point in its history the [[Bahro]] added a series of "[[Takes]]" to help facilitate people taking part in [[The Quest]] to free the Bahro. These "Takes" are an overlap between two points in space and time using a see-saw mechanism allowing for travel from Direbo to four Ages [[Laki'ahn]], [[Noloben]], [[Tahgira]], and [[Todelmer]]. These "Takes" also allow for travel from these four Ages back to Direbo.<br />
<br />
Each "Take" contained a large heavy stone slates that could be inscribed with symbols that the Bahro could read and would assist the quest taker to progress through the four Ages and release the [[Bahro Tablet]].<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Notable Wildlife==<br />
<br />
[[File:wildlife-antenna-mushroom.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Antenna Mushroom''' are numerous within the Age of Direbo, the flourish in the shallow swamp waters of the Age and can range in size from a few feet tall to upwards of 10 to 12 feet.<br />
<br />
They have long thin twisting stalks and are crowned with a bulbous cap a dark purple in colour.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:wildlife-arhek-butterfly.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Arhek Butterfly''' are a small lavender coloured butterfly with very similar markings to the butterflies found in [[Kadish Tolesa]], [[Laki'ahn]], and [[Relto]].<br /><br />
It is theorized that they, like the Chirteetahm and Danysfly are a source of food for the Direbo Nightjar that can be found within the Age.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:wildlife-direbo-chirteetahm.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Chirteetahm Direbo''' or "Fire Organisms" are the name given to the fireflies that are native to the Age of Direbo. The Chirteetahm Direbo flitter between the stone columns and mushrooms that litter the Age. <br /><br />
Unlike the Chirteetahm Kemo the Chirteetahm Direbo do not seem to flock towards explorers. Due to the seeming lack of witnessed rain it is unknown if the Chirteetahm Direbo react towards rain and water in the same manner as the Chirteetahm Kemo.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:wildlife-danysfly.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Danysfly''' are a specie of small dragonfly like insects (hence the naming Danysfly after the character Daenerys Targaryen of the Song of Ice and Fire books)<br /><br />
The Danysfly are predatory both in the aquatic nymphal and adult stages. Nymphs feed on a range of invertebrates found in the swamps of Direbo. Adults capture insect prey in the air, making use of their acute vision and highly controlled flight.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:photo-tbc.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]<br />
'''Direbo Nightjar''' are a small nocturnal bird that can occasionally be seen flying among the stone pillars of Direbo. Their dusky colouring makes it very hard to spot them in the gloomy atmosphere of Direbo but they are common flying around in small groups<br /><br />
It is theorized that they like the Chirteetahm and Danysfly as a source of food.<br /><br />

Date Released: 19/10/09<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Book location: <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Designation: Human Age]]<br />
<br />
Fahets was the first successful Age that was Written by [[Keith Lord]]. <br />
<br />
After initial visits were made to the Age, the [[Linking Book]] was misplaced in [[The Third Path|The Third Path’s]] archives and remained missing for a couple of years before being discovered again. In that time the Age had flooded badly from rain and the water needed to be pumped out before work could progress on developing the Age for public release.<br />
<br />
The Age went through a period of destabilization due to minor flaws within the [[Kormahn]]. As a result the landscape was effected causing rifts in the floor and rock face. The Age was later stabilized and has remained stable since.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Fahets is a large island with a series of smaller islands scattered off its coast. The area of the main island varies from jungle forests and swamp land to barren rocky area. Whilst the Age is relatively large visitors only have access to the "Basin" area currently.<br />
<br />
During the destabilization of the Age a large section of the Fahets island to the south collapsed into the sea creating a new island off the coast.<br />
<br />
==The Basin==<br />
<br />
The Basin is the name given to the initial Link in point for Fahets. It is a grassy area rich in wildlife with a small pond at one end. The area is prone to heavy rains which often caused the basin to flood. As a result a large water pump was installed to keep the water levels down. <br />
During the destabilization of Fahets the land within the basin shifted breaking the pond into 2 sections on different levels. A section of the basin walls collapsed allowing easier access to the area outside of the basin. This collapse was secured and a new path built to make accessing the outer area of the basin safer. <br />
<br />
The Basin is the name given to the initial Link in point for Fahets. It is a smallish rocky basin dotted with boulders. The area was prone to flooding from heavy rain so a water pump was installed to keep the levels down. <br />
<br />
The outer area of the basin is a rocky landscape with large trees and a myriad of flora and fauna. <br />
<br />
Populating the area are large columns of carved stone that in some areas have fused with the surrounding landmass.<br />
<br />
==The Crimson Vale==<br />
<br />
Originally known as The Vale, it was once a serene area with large mushrooms surrounding a lake. After the destabilization event there has been a curious change in the area. There have been changes to the plants in the area causing them to grow significantly larger than they were once capable of, furthermore red spores cover the area like snow causing the trees and other plantlife to take on a red colour. As a result the air in the area has become unsafe without the use of Maintainer suits. What has caused this change has yet to be determined but this "infection" as it has been termed is slowly expanding outwards and threatens the Basin area as well.<br />
<br />
As a result an air tight observation point has been constructed to keep an eye on the issue and study it in the hopes it can be stopped or reversed.<br />
<br />
==Norapod Swamps==<br />
<br />
The Norapods in the swamp seem to thrive on the waters in the area allowing them to grow to vast sizes dwarfing the smaller ones found elsewhere on the Age. A wooden walkways curve between the towering fruits leading to various outcrops of rock.<br />
The swamp is also the nesting ground for Mangarks, meaning some areas of the swamp are extremely dangerous to visitors.<br />
<br />
The swamp is also home to an enclosure established by Keith containing beetles used for ink creation after he discovered the beetles react well to the Norapods fostering their growth rate and size.<br />
<br />
==The Hub==<br />
<br />
Whilst not actually an area for Fahets, the hub is located in [[Cass]] and serves and a "nexus" of sorts allowing for access between the various areas of Fahets.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Wildlife==<br />
<br />
Norapod: A curious pod like plant from which it derives its name. These plants are actually fruit like in nature, with a firm outer skin which can withstand the constant rain, yet allow the water in to help itself grow. And a soft juicy center filled with seeds.<br />
The inner core greatly resembles a tomato in nature, however Norapods are a sweet tasting fruit with a slight bitter aftertaste.<br />
<br />
Small at “birth” they resemble small bluish balls on the ground until the start growing, causing the skins hue and texture to change. It is currently speculated that when the fruits get over ripe they burst spreading the seeds within.<br />
<br />
Rusteart Plant: Small leaved plants that are dotted around the Age, named after the words Rust and Heart due to the rusty colour of the leaves near the center of the plants formation. These plants thrive on minimal rain, but to much will easily kill them, which is why currently not many are found on Fahets and have only recently started growing as the water had been pumped from the Age.<br />
<br />
White Star Lilly: So called due to the small white flower that sits in the center of the lilly pads, White Star Lillies share the Norapods nature in the sense that both live extremely well in very wet conditions. The Lillypads themselves can reach a large size, big enough to support human weight, currently only the small ones can be found. The flowers themselves lend a sweet delicate scent to the pond that combats the musky scent of the waters algae nicely.<br />
<br />
Needle Grass - long sharp grass<br />
<br />
Stiltwalkers - Tripod creatures with really long legs. Feed on the leaves of the Mangrove trees. They make a strange forlorn humming sound to communicate with each other.<br />
<br />
Glowcap - Mushrooms with bioluminescent caps.<br />
<br />
Mangark (Grass Shark) - Aquatic lizard like creature. Has long spines on back that looks like blades of grass. The spines extrude a paralytic which they use to paralyze animals and eat them when they fall into the water. Paralytic is capable of subduing humans.<br />
<br />
Chaaus - Weird pod things that collect underneath trees and rocks. Give off a blue light. May be egg sacks for the Croombs.<br />
<br />
Croombs - Weird little mushroom crabs<br />
<br />
Mangrove Trees -<br />
<br />

19-10-09: Issues resolved thanks to a group of outside helpers, thanks goes to you.<br />
<br />
Age passed Phase 5, Linking Book has now been publicly released.<br />
<br />
18-10-09: A few issues pushed back Phase 5 approval.<br />
<br />
17-10-09: Some minor repairs have been made to the piping for the water pump.<br />
<br />
Authorized explorers "Vid" and "Paradox" stop by for a visit.<br />
<br />
Age is up for review to see if it passes Phase 5 and reaches approval for public release.<br />
<br />
13-10-09: Minor cleanup work commencing.<br />
<br />
10-10-09: Age passes Phase 4 approval, Phase 5 commencing, limited access has been expanded to those authorized.<br />
<br />
09-10-09: The results from the Norapod sample sent off for testing have returned, the plant, or fruit has it turns out, is apparently safe for consumption, members are now flipping a coin to see who gets to try it first.<br />
<br />
A pedestal for the Ages book of commentary is being crafted to be placed in the Age, due to the high water in the Age the book will be placed under cover.<br />
<br />
07-10-09: Sophie and her team have managed to construct a crude pumping system that will be better equipped to deal with the heavy rainfall. The pump has been installed next to the pond, her team will continue to refine it as time goes by.<br />
<br />
Supply crates have been brought in to aid in the development process.<br />
<br />
05-10-09: Water has built up again due to the recent rain, Sophie’s team is looking into developing a new pumping system following some D’ni examples found.<br />
<br />
Studies into the “Norapods” that grow within the Age have commenced.<br />
<br />
11-09-09: We’ve returned to the Age to inspect it since the last visit. It has been determined that the battle against the rainfall is a loosing one, as a result the pumps have been removed from the Age.<br />
<br />
The next few days will involve testing the new wildlife that has grown to see if it is safe for the general public, we may then see about giving the Book out.<br />
<br />
30-06-09: Work temporarily suspended.<br />
<br />
25-06-09: Work on the Age recommences after a long hiatus. Pumps has forgotten to be turned on during the hiatus, as a result the heavy rain fall the Age is prone to has once again flooded the area.<br />
<br />
22-08-08: Plans for development have been given a complete overhaul. Water levels have lowered significantly.<br />
<br />
21-08-08: Descriptive Book rediscovered after being missing for about 2 years. Age has been badly flooded due to the heavy rainfall over the years. Nexus Book has been damaged to the point where it is unsafe to use, the Book has been removed. Assessment of the water revealed that it has become stagnant, pumps have been brought in to remove the water. Plans drawn up for Age development.<br />
<br />
02-02-07: Copying the Age text from the practice book to the Korteenea has been completed. Initial visit to the Age has taken place and samples taken to assess for safety. Results returned as clear, exploration and mapping commencing.<br />

<br />
Eder Fahsee is a garden Age and the fifth Age Written by [[Keith Lord]]. Like [[Sul]] the Age was Written using ink and Korteenea that was manufactured by Keith himself.<br />
<br />
The Age was styled after that of [[Myst]] Island and was Written to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the game Myst's release.<br />
Whilst the actual Age of Myst is largely shunned by Yeesha and considered a bad place Keith felt that the Myst game (which were based upon the events of Atrus' exile to said Age) was, for many in the explorer community, the spark that began the journey to the D'ni cavern.<br />
<br />
Given how much of an impact the game had upon the explorer community Keith wanted to celebrate this. As a result he collected tales from within the community regarding their first interactions with the Myst game and chronicled them into a collection of books that can be found upon Eder Fahsee.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
The Age bears a striking resemblance to the Age of Myst but retaining significant differences. Formed from volcanic rock it sits within a large basin surrounded by water. Basalt columns litter the Age, jutting up from the rocky surface. The Age appears to be locked in a constant Autumnal period with the wildlife taking on the usual gold, browns and red colours.<br />
<br />
There is numerous flora and fauna on the Age with large flowers that tower above visitors.<br />
<br />
Several seating areas have been constructed to give visitors an area in which to relax.<br />

The Age has two moons which have been named Atrus and Katran. <br />

Fehnir's house is located in the the upper area of Ae'gura in the J'taeri district. <br />
<br />
The house was purchased by Yaris who was originally a merchant from the [[City Proper]]. Yaris was a very popular man who made a large amount of wealth through his business. As a result he was able to have his son, Nemen, inducted into the Guild of Writers and moved his family to Ae'gura where his descendants have lived ever since.<br />
<br />
At the time of the Fall, the house was inhabited by Fehnir and his wife Laia and his son Me'fehnir and his wife Nalen. <br />
<br />
The family had one Age called [[Eder Ahryee]], that was Written by Nemen as a gift to his father Yaris. But evidence discovered whilst restoring the house revealed they had access to a second Age called [[Lehns]]. <br />
<br />
Fehnir was a relatively high ranking member of the Guild of Archivists. When the plague broke out Fehnir sent his friend and colleague, Jilen, ahead to make sure Fehnir's family got to safety. Jilen had no family of his own (indeed he was considered family by Fehnir and his wife such was their friendship) and because he was younger was able to reach the house faster than the older Fehnir.<br />
<br />
Jilen ushered Laia, Me'fehnir and Nalen (along with a couple of stewards) to Eder Ahryee to keep them safe. Fehnir however never saw his family again, as he made his way home he succumbed to the plague and refused to Link to his family for fear of dooming them too. As a result he died alone in his study.<br />
<br />
In the aftermath of the Fall, [[A'gaeris]] and [[Veovis]] went from building to building, house to house, Linking dead bodies filled with the plague into the Ages of D'ni spreading the contagion even further.<br />
Eder Ahryee did not escape this seeding, evidence found in the study upon the first visit showed a smeared hand print upon the Eder Ahryee Kormahn. <br />
From Jilen's writings found within Eder Ahryee it was discovered that the plague slowly spread through to Laia and the stewards, when they died Me'fahnir and Nalen fled to Lehns hoping they would be spared but they too were found dead near the Link in point in Lehns.<br />
Jilen survived due to the fact he had moved to the other side of the forest. He blocked all access to the Eder Ahryee Link in point and remained in seclusion until he was found by Keith and Steven.<br />

==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Due to structural damaged caused by surrounding buildings the majority of Fehnir's family house is inaccessible whilst restoration efforts are carried out. A couple of rooms have been deemed safe for public access however.<br />
<br />
=The Study=<br />
<br />
Compared to some of the houses within the area, the house of Fehnir and his family is rather modest. This is reflected within Fehnir's study, it is a small room that also serves as the family's Book room. A door leads into the room from the hallway on the second floor with the [[Eder Ahryee]] Linking Book just inside the study itself. A small staircase leads down to the lower tier of the study where Fehnir's desk sits. Across from the desk is a plinth which houses several artifacts from the Age of [[Lehns]] above the plinth is a portrait of Fehnir himself.<br />
<br />
A tall doorway opens out to a small balcony which overlooks the rest of the district and the D'ni cavern beyond.<br />
<br />
=The Relic Room=<br />
<br />
Access to the Relic Room was discovered during the restoration effort on Lehns. It is a small room with no discernible exit, smaller than the study itself. The room contains a wealth of artifacts and artworks from the Mahri people of Lehns. Large hand stitched tapestries cover the walls along with shields made of bone. A recessed shelf contains the many books of commentary written by Fehnir and his family regarding the Age of Lehns.<br />
<br />
A plinth much like the one in the study contains more artifacts and a Linking Book to Lehns. On the wall next to the plinth is a large painting of Lehns itself a gift to Fehnir from his son, commissioned by the Guild of Artists.<br />
