At the request of Yeesha, the eccentric daughter of Atrus, you'll journey through a variety of different ages, all linked to your own mysterious "island in the clouds.” Exploration through each age will draw you further into the storyline through solving puzzles, finding clues and expanding your library of linking books. You can even text chat and share images with other players who are on their own journey. You'll become familiar with the DRC (D'ni Reconstruction Council), a group that is rebuilding the D'ni city and civilization. The DRC sends you messages and keeps you informed of things going on in D'ni, and sometimes they even open up new areas to explore.
