Heralding from the Age of Sa, the Sa Mapping and Archaeology Foundation (SAMAF), commonly called “The Foundation,” (and due to an ancient tradition involving a gallows,“the town,” though this is considered impolite) is dedicated to the exploration of Ages which have (or develop) any links to Sa. Each Age is a distinct realm, connected to one another through the use of mysterious linking books. A traveler does not take the book with them when they use it, facilitating a mutual connection when one is wise enough to bring a linking book home and… making getting home impossible if one is not. Each Age appears to have its own quirks, as well as an unpredictable amount of stability. Only the most stable Ages survive long enough to support life, and only one in a thousand has even the most primitive of civilizations. Whenever making first contact, The Foundation does what it can to provide life-sustaining capabilities to such civilizations without interfering in their development. It often goes poorly. It seems almost inevitable that some element of life, nature, or just some sort of scum rises up to make things disastrous. As a result, it is Foundation practice that no active Foundation mission may bring with them a linking book home to Sa until the Age and all its connections are secured, but must instead voluntarily trap themselves until their mission is complete and their Commander returns. Three weeks ago, Foundation scouts exploring an Age called Pento found something most unusual: an apparently discarded Myst linking book at the top of a tower. Written material on Pento which referenced the Age indicated that such a find would be considered extremely valuable. Initial scouting of Myst revealed it was an enormous island, serving as as hub linking several Ages together. Upon their return to Sa, the surviving scout reported discovering two linking books, but their links are severed due to missing pages. Having scoured the island, the scout reported that there remain five, potentially six Ages which Myst might have links to - and the two prior books’ pages may be somewhere on the island, or indeed, somewhere within those other Ages. The hypothetical potential is unheard of in your people's entire history. It appears that at the very least, Myst was built on purpose, to house Ages written by a specific person, heritage, tradition… which meant only the very best and brightest explorers would do... and that's you. peramene fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Apr 10, 2017 |

this sounds like a really cool game but I've never used discord, is it like we just go there to type at whoever's on our space instead of setting up a bunch of scumdocs?

My main point of confusion is if the non coloured skid with a path leading to it north of the green zone is it's own area or not.

Will any puzzles be sound based? Unsure if I can play yet based on expected April workload, but that hallmark of the original Myst series made it impossible for me to play. (The rocket ship puzzle, or the sea creature sounds in Riven, are two examples.)
