The Story of Uru
The story of the D'ni civilization began when they established
their underground empire on Earth some 10,000 years ago. While
living beneath the Earth's surface, the D'ni practiced what they
called the "Art of Writing," which enabled them to create links
to incredible, alternate worlds of fantastic variety called
"Ages," to which they could travel through "Linking Books."
The D'ni people thrived for thousands of years, but later met
with a great catastrophe that all but ended their civilization.
Their vast cavern was left uninhabited, and their Linking Books
and Ages seemed lost forever.

Then, in the late 1980s, a few humans from the surface
discovered that cavern. One of these humans was Elias Zandi. He
devoted the rest of his life to exploring and, eventually,
restoring that ancient city in the D'ni cavern, preparing to one
day reveal their discovery to those who were suddenly feeling
irresistibly drawn to the cavern.
When he passed away in 1996, his legacy was divided between a
foundation that he set up and his only son, Jeff Zandi. The
foundation came to be known as the DRC (D'ni Restoration
Council). As their name implies, they took on the task of
physically restoring the ruins of the D'ni cavern. If you choose
to visit the cavern at some point, you're sure to run into them.

Jeff Zandi, on the other hand, was interested in learning why
the D'ni civilization fell in the first place. He continued
studying the teachings of Yeesha, by far the most talented of all
the D'ni writers, and daughter of Atrus and Catherine. After
years of learning, the younger Zandi is finally comfortable
bringing others to an uru (a D'ni word meaning "large gathering"
or "grand community").
On your way to the cavern, if you decide to join us, it might be
a good idea for you to learn some of the great teachings of
Yeesha. Experience the adventure of a lifetime, Uru: Ages Beyond
Myst.
