	Games - Ages of Myst IV: Revelation

What follows is a list of the Ages visited in the game of Myst IV: Revelation.

Haven

Creatures:	Karnaks, Dan'nis, Camoudiles,Zeftyrs, Mangrees, and other animals, also several species of fish.
Geography:	Surrounded by a raging sea, the central land is shielded from the waves by a series of boulders. Beyond the windy, rugged coastline is a tropical jungle, which centers around a small lagoon.
Inhabitants:	Achenar (during his imprisonment).
Vegetation:	Tropical plants and trees, tall, savanna grass, swamp mosses.
Written by:	Atrus

Haven is a quite lush and jungle-like Age. It is the prison age for Achenar. What appear to be dinosaur-like creatures also inhabit this jungle world. Its original entrance was a large, wrecked sailing ship which stood upon its side on the shores. A new entrance was written into the age, composed of unbreakable Nara so that Atrus and his family could visit the age, but Achenar could not exit.

During Achenar's imprisonment, he was confronted with surviving along side of the notorious wildlife, who often stole his food and attacked him. Originally he made his home in the wrecked ship, where he made traps to catch Karnaks for food. It was during this time that he battled and killed the dangerous, dinosaur-like predator by capturing its mate and luring it to him. Later he records in his journal that he fears he may have driven the species into extinction. Eventually, Achenar constructed a large house in the center of the lagoon in the jungle to be his new home, where he encountered a new tribe of Mangrees who befriended him.

This was the age originally viewable through the Blue Book in the library of Myst.

Spire

Creatures:	None
Geography:	A planet of great, towering stone mountains, shaped like ancient castles and encrusted with crystals and floating rocks. It also has several cloud layers.
Inhabitants:	Sirrus (during his imprisonment).
Vegetation:	Pod plants and swamp mosses.
Written by:	Atrus

Spire is the prison age for Sirrus. It is an enormous spire of rock and crystal surrounded by clouds, with some interesting natural weathering occurring. The clouds occur in layers. Atrus wrote that though many features of the age, such as its steps and arches, appeared man-made, that Spire had never had any inhabitants. This was the first of Atrus's two prison ages to be written. Later, it was edited to add a linking chamber made of durable Nara atop the highest pinnacle.

The true geography of Spire is very surprising; the mountains actually float in mid-air due to an electromagnetic property of one of Spire's main minerals. Spire doesn't actually have stable ground; if you go below the second cloud layer, a strange green energy source can be seen.

Sirrus has constructed several inventions in Spire, amongst them his Rock-Ship, a floating vehicle which moves with the aid of several electricity conductors and many of the antigravity minerals in Spire. Others include his Spider Chair and Grand Instrument, a large, guitar-like device with vibrations caused by electromagnetic waves, and the Bomb Factory, a machine used to construct "bombs" that use harmonic resonance to destroy certain materials.

This was the age originally viewable through the Red Book in the library of Myst.

Serenia

Creatures:	Prominently White Butterflies and several other creatures.
Geography:	A stony area covered in tall, columns of stone (stone forest) with many jagged cliffs by the sea. Irrigation systems exist, many involve gravity- defying water
Inhabitants:	Humanoid people, arranged into villages and sisterhoods, spirits
Vegetation:	Tropical plants and chambers, mosses, giant flowers known as Memory Chambers
