Greetings all! Kehrin was nice enough to point me to this forum and thread so that I could share with you my D'ni Timeline.

The timeline is part of the 'Uru Archive' (see siggy), a graphical interface that allows you to read almost every book from Uru:Ages Beyond Myst. Not just the transcriptions, but the books themselves. Once you've entered the 'Uru Archive' you'll see an hourglass in the lower left corner. This opens the D'ni Timeline.

I have not compared my timeline with others started here and there around the net, including the one in this forum, and my timeline deals only with information available in game. I hope you like it and if you have any suggestions or corrections, please let me know.

Great to be here!

Thank you, thank you Embarassed

Hopefully in the near future I'll be adding an exact date mouseover to the event flags. It's really just a matter of getting a day off when my heifer neighbors aren't stomping on my ceiling all day and I can concentrate on something other than moving far, far away. Evil or Very Mad

But I digress. Glad you all like it, thank you for the welcoming atmosphere. Very Happy

Amazing site, frankenscarf. It is an excellent resource for the community, and on top of that retains the feel from the Myst games and Uru Live. Brilliant. Smile

Looking at the new Myst Demo Atrus says it's been 20 years since he imprisoned his sons in the Prison Books and I'm trying to see if we can pin point the date to some specific time. I think the only accurate time we have is that Atrus and Catherine married 9431 DE and the rest is speculation? Unless Cyan have said the dates after their marriage are accurate?

Between their marriage and Anna's death in 9441 DE, Sirrus and Achenar were born and in 9458 DE Gehn successfully linked to his 233rd Age. So I reckon somwhere between 9441 DE amd 9458 DE the stranger arrives on Myst Island (Anna's grave already being there). In 9472 DE (AD 1816) the stranger arrives on Tomahna and the whole Saveedro thing happens. I'm guessing then that it's going to be somewhere around the late 9470's and early 9480's for the stranger's next arrivel on Tomahna for Revelation.

What does everyone else think?

Farlesis, Farlesis....you're throwing around a lot of dates here and I'm on no sleep....lol.....

Let's simplify: I thought it was said somewhere that Revelation takes place around 10 years after Exile. That sounds about right considering Yeesha's appearance. If that is accurate (it's at least close) then you can easily plug it into your timeline.

LOL I can never simply things, always look at things in to complicated a way Smile

Thanks for the 10 year note, that would made it 9482 DE that the stranger arrives in Tomahna for the second time Smile
