There's been a lot of confusing/conflicting viewpoints on what happened to Sirrus and Achenar at the end of Myst. Hopefully it'll still be coherent enough to be understood. :) This disgustingly long letter has taken me three days to write, as I've had time here and there to work on it, so it may be a little disjointed in places. (It's the note on the back of the Myst box all over again.)Īssorted ramblings. don't use text intended for marketing as proof text in a debate like this. :) pre-existing, doesn't it? That is, unless RAWA has something to add. In the movie, Atrus says "And it amazes me to think that the stroke of a pen can bring worlds to life." Kinda settles the old creation vs. I'm usually in lurker mode here, but the trailer and something another lyster said made me feel compelled to respond. Probable, no, but the odds are slightly better than nil. :) This will make the odds of writing a Link to the same exact Age twice _extremely_ remote (even if you copy the first Book verbatim). Just being nit-picky (what else is new?):īecause there are countless Ages that fit any given description, no matter how detailed, there is a chaotic (random) element in the process of the Book selecting which Age it links to. The odds of writing another link to it are nil. Paraphrase of fan question: If a Descriptive Book is destroyed, could another Book be made to link to the same Age?Īnswer from another fan: Not likely, if the original Descriptive Book has been destroyed. Which, of course, is why he brought another myst linking book when he went to D'ni after the brothers tricked him into going there - because he knew there was no myst linking book there. He couldn't be sure his plan would work, or that he wouldn't miss one of Gehn's links back to D'ni, so he wanted to sever all the links between Myst and D'ni, just in case. Atrus was very careful not to leave a link to Myst from D'ni (when preparing to trap his father in Riven at the end of the book of Atrus). Well I'd venture to guess that that myst book (which used to be in D'ni) was the one atrus brought to Riven, and dropped down the star fissure. Where *was* myst written anyway? (It's been a while since BoA.sorry :). Now this brings up the question - why wasn't there already a myst book in D'ni?. Then when atrus took his myst book with him to go to D'ni, that was his only way back. Hence the message from Sirrus to Achenar in the recording device in Channelwood. Perhaps the Myst book was on Myst, or on one of the other mystian ages, and the brothers got at it without Atrus knowing. you're running on the assumption that the myst book was always in D'ni. ![]() Now as for the brothers removing a page from Atrus' Myst book. ![]() If he could have just taken it with him, it would have been a lot easier. this is why Atrus had to drop his myst book into the fissure to trap Gehn on Riven. There's no way to bring the book that you're linking with with you when you link.
