![]() He only realized she'd already risked linking there, and gotten stuck, when time went by and she never came to retrieve him. If anything, it's her whereabouts he must not have been sure of at the time: he brought the Riven book with him, perhaps hoping there'd be something in K'veer he could use to stabilize its connection and make it safe for her to link through and help her people, but without realizing she'd already used it without telling him. He must've already suspected them before he went to K'veer with the (sabotaged) Myst book, however: he did leave messages for Catherine that voice those suspicions.Chances are, Sirrus and Achenar burned the books, then went off to do a bunch of raids (With books they personally salvaged for themselves) while Atrus put them back on the shelf mentally reminding himself to repair them, (Which he explained he attempted many times but failed, in his journal in Exile) despite he had his suspicions, he didn't know for certain who exactly burned them, which is why he laid the red and blue trap books if the vandals ever came back. Actually, it never stated whether there was a time in-between the burning and Atrus's imprisonment.That could even be why Atrus originally came to suspect it was one of them: an intruder wouldn't have known which order to put them back in. Or Atrus's sons put them back on the shelves, all in their proper places, out of habit after burning them.Two possible explanations: Either the books were burned while on the shelves so that the fire didn't reach all of them, or Atrus put the burned books back onto the shelves himself along with the undamaged journals.But why have they then been carefully put back on the book shelves alongside the unburned books? In the library on Myst Island, most of the books have been burned-Atrus forewarns you of this before you first arrive.The Great Tree of Riven was cut down so in order to change Riven the tree's being reduced to a stump must be acknowledged by the writing. Changes can only be made concerning things in the present. Interestingly enough Gehn's Descriptive Book only changed it's link when Ghen put the delete symbol which might very well have erased some of the book's history. Any Descriptive Books made after will link to somewhere else. What's more only a Linking Book will lead back to the same age it was written for.You specify the number of boulders the age has? It quickly deteriorates into an unstable age because it can't support the weight of it's soil. You specify that boulder's position? Wonderful, the age makes another. ![]() Even if you made the most specific age, it could simple move an underground boulder a few inches to the right. However, what colour is the ocean? Are there other land masses? Every time you re-wrote that sentence, it would link to a different age. For example, if you made an age that was "A green sky, and an ocean", it would create an age with a green sky and ocean. See, the way I understand linking is that it takes the parameters of what you write, and links to an age like that. They've tried that, but it never links to exactly the same age. But what's the big deal with severing that book's link with the previous Age permanently when you can just write another copy of the book without the changes and create a new link to it? So a rewrite to a Descriptive Book that makes changes that are too drastic will make it link to a completely different Age.
