Welcome
We're kicking off the Season Finale of Myst Online: URU Live with this newsletter. In the coming months, we will keep you informed of the unseen events that are unfolding in and around the cavern. Like a phoenix from the ashes, the world of the D'ni will rise again. Make sure that you remain an integral part of its future.
Without the passion and hard work of the explorers of D'ni, the task of restoration would be impossible. We hope to use this newsletter to keep you informed of the events, creations, and insights of fellow explorers around the world. Keep your eyes open for links to the handiwork of the amazing talent of the Myst Online community. Also, don't forget to check in to the mystonline.com website for more immediate updates and links. As always, we welcome your feedback, your contributions, and your exuberance!
Thanks for your continued support.

Exodus Is Coming
Exodus, the Season Finale, starts today, November 1st
The great, underground cavern of D'ni has been home to dramatic upheaval during the past nine months. Numerous Books have been released and new areas of the cavern opened to explorers as the DRC tries to rebuild the foundations of this ancient civilization. Ages have been restored -- the massive desert world of Minkata, the playful and quirky Jalak and the mysterious pod Ages. The Guild Pubs have been opened, and the Guilds have slowly started to grow, moving toward something bigger and more substantial.
The DRC, led by Cate Alexander, has managed the restoration while at the same time dealing with the emergence of the Bahro creatures and the tragedies and questions that have ensued. Voices from the past have returned, including Dr. Watson and Phil Henderson. Now each of those voices offers different views and opinions on what will happen next. Will the Bahro War bring permanent destruction to the cavern? Will the DRC find funding for further restoration work? Will the Guilds emerge to influence D'ni and its future as they did thousands of years ago?
"Destruction is coming. Find a way. Make a home."
The words have echoed though the cavern. What do they mean? Is the one who originally spoke these words finished with her part in this grand story?
In Exodus, the Season Finale, the release of Ahnonay, K'veer and Myst Island will bring even more changes. Don't miss it.
