In an immense cavern under the surface of the earth we know, lived an ancient civilization called the D’ni. Highly intellectual and technologically advanced, the D’ni immersed themselves in the pursuit of fine art, literature, poetry and music. One of the greatest achievements of the D’ni was writing; not only of great literary works, but of “Ages” - books describing alternate worlds limited only by their imagination. This group of highly skilled people formed the “Guild of Writers”. Through these books called “linking books”, one could transport themselves or “link” to that world and back again.
Their vast empire was ruled by a succession of 34 kings and flourished for thousands of years. But great was their pride and so easily seduced by power, they were; the D’ni civilization slowly slipped into darkness wrought with corruption, greed, ambition, and deceit. Evil seeped into their hearts and minds. Enlightenment and reason was twisted into violence and hatred. They turned against each other; committing grievous acts of treachery and as powers clashed, the once peaceful streets ran red with blood. The time of the shadows had come and the people hid in fear. As if to punish them for their wickedness, the earth shook and their great halls and monuments that stood as a testament to their pride and arrogance crumbled to the ground. The once prosperous empire fell; a broken and degraded society.
The remaining survivors wandered amongst the ruins in darkness and in doubt. Divided and leaderless, they fled to the far reaches of the ages. A few, however, discovered that the great earthquake had opened a fissure to the surface. They left the cavern to dwell on the surface, casting off their old life and blending in with the culture. Although blessed with long life, much longer than a human’s, eventually, they grew old and one by one, they passed on. It seemed that the secrets of D’ni would pass with them, to be forever lost.
Centuries passed and in the quiet gloom of the empty cavern, the ruins of the city stood, waiting - for hope…for life. One day, the most unlikely of people, a lonely old man who had made his home in a broken down trailer in the New Mexico desert, stumbled upon an unusual cleft in the desert sands - the passage to fallen D’ni Empire. Rumor spread about the long lost civilization and archaeologists and explorers came from all over to investigate. The D’ni Restoration Council was formed to unravel the mystery of its demise and restore the empire and all of its ages to what they once were.
