[[WMG:Regular humans will learn The Art and even improve upon it with their unique cultural perspectives.]]
As a possibility for sequel material, human from all walks of life will take interest in learning The Art and open a new area of research and development. This could pave the way for new inventions such as applying The Art to technological devices to create devices such as a PortalNetwork, and new medical breakthroughs from discovering new worlds to extend lifespans.

[[WMG: Myst is an allegory for colonial imperialism]]
Atrus represents the explorers who charted new, undiscovered areas and left them wide open for European takeover, represented by Sirrus and Achenar. Sirrus represents the colonists' greed and lust for power, while Achenar represents the atrocities they committed to get those things.

The Mechanical Age represents Europe, specifically the political factors behind colonial imperialism. Europe at the time was ruled by absolute monarchs who used fear and repression to extract heavy taxes from their subjects. Stoneship is the Age of Exploration, where the first colonizers sailed to the new world to extract gold and silver from it. Channelwood is Africa, where religion is used to justify the subjugation of local populations by the Europeans. Lastly we get to Selenetic, or rather the Space Age, which is an alien world littered with probes and exploration equipment. This is where we're at today; the reason Sirrus and Achenar haven't destroyed the age is because Europeans aren't there yet, they are still in the process of exploring potential worlds to conquer.

Gehn is the White Man's Burden personified.

The vocative (in languages that retain it) can stay distinct or merged depending on gender, number, and paradigm; it would play no part in the programming. However, every combination of singular or plural (or dual with Slovene or Sorbian) with nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, instrumental, or locative[=/=]prepositional would have to be different to avoid ambiguity in the link. Indeclinable nouns would also have to be given declensions.

Also in the ending where you don't get him to give up the book by trapping him and let him go he destroys Releeshan. He thinks Atrius is a) at least partly responsible for the ravaging of his home world and b) can manipulate worlds on a fundamental level. He now has everthing he wants and chooses to piss of a creature that could annihilate his homeworld again. By doing this he may have ensured that he will be reunited with his family only for everyone to die together when Narayan is reduced to a burning wasteland or have his entire species at the mercy of a vengeful being who can inflict unending suffering on them. In that ending he is lucky that Atrius was so merciful otherwise his entire world could have been turned into something out of Event Horizon

[[WMG:Savreedo was not thinking straight at the end of Myst Exile because he was thinking about reuniting with his family]]
At the end Savreedo wants you to drop the outer shield so he can go back to his family. He should be able to see the lever that will do this from the area outside where the inner shield should appear. If he wanted to be careful he would have stood there and stared at you and the lever. When he sees you sprinting up the stairs he'd should've been tipped off and gone after you before you could trap him between the two.

[[WMG:The Mysterious Stranger looks like Atrius]]
Savreedo seems to mistake the stranger for Atrius during the third game but later realises his mistake. They might actually look quite similar. Perhaps as part of a fourth wall break the stranger is Rand Miller, the guy who helped write Myst and who plays Atrius. The stranger is from earth after all and the theme is entering into the worlds you write. Matti23

Someone suggested that Kadish is actually Esher under a false identity, and I added some more evidence to the idea.


It's the right climate for them, if the journal entry for the calendar is anything to go by. And Atrus set up Tomahna in Nueva España after Writing Releeshahn. He might have sold a few seeds, or some seeds might have escaped cultivation with locals discovering the plants to be edible.

[[WMG:Esher is actually Guildsmaster Kadish under a false identity]]
Given what little we actually know about Kadish from Uru, and the fact that we don't see him despite his statue adorning Sphere #4 in Ahnonay and the fact that he lived from Yeesha's tampering with his vault age, Kadish Tolesa, to create an alternate timeline where he survived. The only things that we know about Kadish is that he was a guildsmaster who sought power, and sought to prove his own worth as the The Grower, a prophetic figure that will bring the D'ni civilization to its former glory.

Who else wants to be The Grower? Who else seeks power (in the Bahro Tablet)? Who else wanted to prove that they could bring D'ni back to its former glory? Esher, of course. His clothing also seems slightly too lavish for someone who is simply a common person.

He even is scientific in nature. Esher has a (crude) laboratory on Noloben (because of the fall, and no possible access to any real instruments). Kadish had a laboratory on Ahnonay as well.

He wrote the two ages before mastering the art of making prison books. When he figured out how to make a one man prison, he decided to recycle those ages as bait. Before burning the books, he fixed the slight imperfections in the descriptions, which instantly linked the occupants to the destination age. Once there, it took them a while to realize that they'd just been transferred to a bigger cell.

If the supernova were anything but a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Ia_supernova Type 1a]], there would have been no time for a habitable zone to stabilize beforehand. Therefore Sedona likely orbited a main sequence star which, in turn, orbited at a distance two close-orbiting old stars. Probably two white dwarfs, though, since the Maintainers would know that a red giant spilling gas onto a white dwarf means the system is not stable. Therefore, the Maintainers would have decertified Sedona when these two white dwarfs' orbits started deteriorating.
