Ages of Riven

Named the Fifth Age by Gehn, Riven was probably Gehn’s best age, as far as size, technology, and stability went. Even still, it had several flaws in its writing, as all his ages did, and was in a steady state of decline. Atrus trapped Gehn there for 33 years, stopping his systematic destruction of Ages. During this part of history, the island split into five. Gehn restricted four of those to himself and to his personnel. The villagers were limited to one island. Gehn used bridges to connect his islands, but later moved to single-sea ...

Although Riven is the sequel to Myst it also serves as a very fitting sequel to the novel Myst: The Book of Atrus, tying up many loose ends. Riven starts right where Myst left off, in the basement of K'veer in D'ni where Atrus was imprisoned at the end of Myst. The player once again takes the role of the Stranger, Atrus's friend. Atrus needs the Stranger's help, as his wife Catherine is trapped on the Age of Riven, written by his mad father Gehn who has proclaimed himself God of Riven ...

This listing is sorted by where the ages were introduced, shown or described, i.e. the game, novel or other places (for example, the D'ni Restoration Council (DRC) web site). Multiple listings of the same age are thus possible. The listing tries to be hierarchical: if one Age is to be accessed via another, or is only mentioned in the context of another, it is mentioned therein. See also:

Following is a list of Ages mentioned in the Myst franchise. This page uses a loose definition of "Age" in that it also mentions parts of Ages, such as K'veer or Tomahna, which belong to the D'ni Age (in other terms, the planet Earth). Using the proper definition would make the structuring even more complex, unfortunately. All locations physically located on the Earth surface are in Age of D'ni. All underground loc ...

Unlike Myst, the point of the game is not to travel to Ages, solve puzzles, return to the hub, and then go on. Almost all of the action takes place on Riven and its five islands. Most of the action consists of solving puzzles in order to access all of the islands through bridges and maglevs. Being a game in the Myst series, the player will find linking books which let him/her link to other worlds. Riven includes the following Ages: D'ni (K'veer), the starting Age. There is nothing to do there, only th ...

Riven is based on and expands the ultimate past and historical background of Myst, fully described in the two books (the third is Riven's sequel). Other than language there is other information available to the player. Items such as Gehn's journal and his book in the laboratory explain more of Gehn's past and his relationship with his wife, Keta. The game introduces a great deal of information on the culture and language of D'ni. The D'ni language was first used in this game, both in written form and spoken by characters (poorl ...

According to the D'ni cosmology, the Creator Yahvo created the Terokh Jeruth, the Great Tree of Possibilities, which has an infinite number of leaves, each leaf being one Age. In this conception every Universe therefore is just one Leaf, belonging to its own Branch, which in turn belongs to another and another, ultimately all belonging to the Great Tree. The theory can be described as a multiverse. Some Ages might resemble others ( ...

This Age was the first relatively stable Age Gehn wrote as he was trapped on Riven with no way out. His previous attempts had all failed either because of his flawed Writing, or the lack of a power source for his Books. He called it his "233rd Age", sometimes referring to it as his "Office Age". As with all the Ages that came from Gehn's writing, this too was an unstable one. The strange formation of the mountains in the Age are due to the sea, in the Age's history, being at a much higher level and very caustic. Over time it lowered, produc ...
