Fridge / Uru: Ages Beyond Myst

Fridge Brilliance

• I had been playing URU for a long time with different characters before I got to the online version. One Relto page later, I stopped, looked at what the page had added, and had to leave the computer for a few moments when I found out that Relto was a copy of Myst. Some of the things Yeesha had written made a lot more sense after that.
  • It was the mountain page, right?
    • For me it was the clock page that made me realize. I didn't catch on for quite a while.
    • The jetty page did it for me.
    • The Uru box cover does shout this fact out. Relto is shown at the same angle as Myst Island on the original Myst cover.
• It was fifty-odd years between the writing of the Book of Earth and the D'ni's arrival in the Cavern. Well, we know from Esher that the Great Shaft alone is almost five kilometers deep, and if the map in Book of Ti'ana is to scale, then the Cavern is twice that. You'd need to install countless huge fans to cool things down enough for habitability.
