Description
The actual Age of Ahnonay is a vast vortex waterfall that on first impressions seems to operate a lot like Catherine’s Torus Age, which has given rise to speculation that the Age is in fact an illicit one and thusly not Written by Kadish.
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. It is unknown how Kadish managed to convince visitors that they were standing upon Garternay when the Age was called Ahnonay. It could be speculated that after 10,000 years some of the D'ni did not recall the name of their home world.
Lake/Stone Forest
Lake and stone forest. former place of worship by the Adal of Yuena theie goddess. Area abandoned when humans arrived.
Crystal Tree
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 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.
The rock is now riddled with cracks and the weight indicator in the center of the island mass is damaged yet still working. 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.
Adal Town/Village
Sphere 3 was said to be Garternay as it would be in the future.
The island is heavily fractured, seemingly floating in a starry expanse. At the center the familiar “clock” now completely useless and broken. Nothing lives in Sphere 3, no Quabs or Ning not even the scrub grass of the previous two spheres.
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. Like Sphere 2 access to the maintenance area of Sphere 3 is only possible through the use of the cloths.
Notable Wildlife
Ning Trees are lightning shaped crystals (and most likely where they derived their name from) that inhabit Sphere 2 of Ahnonay.
The Ning are extremely delicate and will shatter at the merest touch. It is currently unknown if they were replaced by Kadish himself or if they actually grew back under some kind of accelerated growth.
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. It is unknown whether the Quabs are native to the vortex or if Kadish brought them in from another Age.
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.
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.
