'''Quabs''' are a quadrupedal crustaceans that can be found in Sphere 1 upon the island. They are a small shy creature that flee from visitors within the Age often choosing to jump and hide in the water. Quabs will return to the land slowly when they feel the area is safe from intruders.

'''Scrub grass''' can be found upon the landmasses found within Spheres 1, 2, and 3. The grass grows sparsely most likely due to it trying to grow in the hard rock of the island. The grass that does grow seems to thrive however but does not seem to grow too long. It should be noted that the grass (if the same specie within each of the three spheres) does not require an ample light source to survive as it grows within Sphere 03 which has a very limited light. Indeed all 3 of the spheres lack natural sunlight in general.<br />

'''Terrose''' are named from the D'ni word 'ter' which means tree and rose after the color of the leaves found upon the tree. Sphere 1 of Ahnonay is populated by a fair few of these trees. The roots of the tree seem to have burrowed deep into the rock of the island. Like the Quabs it is unknown whether the trees were native to Ahnonay or brought in from another Age. However, given the nature of the vortex is is most likely they were brought in from another Age.

Author: Unknown

Date Found: Currently Unknown
Date Accessed: 20/09/05

Book location: The Great Shaft

Designation: D’ni Age

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. The original location of the Direbo Book is unknown but it was found in the Eder Tomahntee 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.

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.

The Age is currently under a restoration initiative by the Intangibles Group

Description

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.

Small insects like Chirteetahm and Dragonflys flitter throughout the columns of rock and mushrooms that protrude from the swampy waters.

At some point the Bahro "Takes" were added to the Age as part of The Quest, these bubbles in space and time overlap a single point within two Ages in a kind of see-saw mechanism that allows for transport from Direbo to four Ages, Laki'ahn, Noloben, Tahgira, and Todelmer. These "Takes" also allow for a return journey to Direbo.

The Age is currently under a restoration initiative by the Intangibles Group
