are we going to see Releeshahn? | Forums

[paxmanchris]

that the big question i have.

the pictures that we have so far,
like this one: click here unless you dont like spoilers
you might think its Tomahna..
but it souldnt be a earth place,
that would make out to be a boring
story.
it must be Releeshahn..
dose anyone agree with me?

I certainly hope so! I may have mentioned this before ( ) but I suffered 2 near fatal hammer attacks in Exile, only to be greeted with "did you get the book" (or something like that) from Atrus when I returned - rather than .. how are you .. are you alright .. did you get hurt .. or even "Thank you" - then NO trip to Releeshan. I believe I'm due that trip.

i cant wait to see what the plot is.
i hope its not.. you half to choose between S&A again, like in myst..
but im shure they couldnt do that, there books are cinders.. right?

maybe.. maybe, and i herd this brought up before, maybe there books were never burned. maybe atrius hid them, in some secrect spot on myst.
and then took the books to earth, because he could not part with his sons. if you have notist he is a very forgiving man.
like the part when you forget to release cathren from her cell. he gets mad, but if it were me i would kill..

To fill in a Sunday afternoon, I started to replay Riven - again - and at the beginning Atrus hands you a small book. In it he explains about how a prison age is created by tampering with an age by making very small changes to the book of an existing age, changes so small as not to be readily noticed by anyone reading it. It's funny, I had just asked about that in another thread. I was sort of thinking that maybe Atrus didn't burn the written descriptive books, which tinkering with would have caused the sons ages to become prisons, but got rid of the linking books, which were the books in the library on Myst island. There would have been no reason to destroy the descriptive books if the linking books were gone, as any linking book would be only one way, and once gone no one could be tricked into entering them as some of us went back to see after completing Myst the first time. Speculation is that perhaps Yeesha discovers the books and writes new linking books to those ages ... we shall see ... say, come about September ...

Given that Releeshahn was on the "no touch" list of things that Cyan gave to Presto when they made Exile, I would put my money on not seeing Releeshahn unless Cyan does it (which they didn't, in this case).

I dunno, maybe it was an age they were gonna put into uru Live eventually. You know, the DRC come accross a linking book to Tomahna and then Releeshahn. You nnever know, it could possibly pop up in a future X-Pack.

Alahmnat,

Seriously about Releeshan? Now why would Cyan do that? Well, note to Cyan : Atrus owes me a trip to Releeshan - after all, I suffered 2 ......... well you know ...

'Bout time don'cha think?

Yes, seriously. Presto wasn't allowed to show it.

Simple yet completely ambiguous answer: Cyan wants to deliberately leave Releeshahn un-developed as a visual element of the Myst universe because they don't wish to be tied down by someone else's interpretation of the Age in the event that they choose to do something with it (like write another novel...).
