1991, April 21st. It was a Sunday morning. Temperatures that morning were cool but not too chilly, with a temperature around 50'F. A man was sitting at his computer, a Macintosh probably running System Software 6. His last name was Miller. Which one, I don't know. What was he doing before that, I don't know. What he wanted to do at the time, I don't know. But I know what he did do.

At 9:54am that morning, he clicked to create a new HyperCard stack. This stack went through all sorts of changes, but it ended up becoming Myst. This was its inception (much like Atrus's first age).

This is how D'ni time was calculated - this is the epoch, the "Rosetta date", the point where both systems match up *exactly*. I figured I'd be the only person to even realise this anniversary but I thought it shouldn't go un-noted.


Happy D'ni new year, everyone. It just ticked over to Leefo 1st, 9667. 20 years later, what a journey it's been.
