OK,
I kinda had an Idea for a new age, and me and my friend Kyashii kind of discussed possible Ideas (he's also really good at comming up with age names, so he came up with the name Yinfara) and he helped me envision the age, so don't think I came up with all of this, not all the credit goes to me
. after that I started Yinfara as a journal of my explorations of the age, and a descriptive journal, like Atrus's in MYST. well, this age is called Yinfara, and The link in spot is a Hut, with a lightning rod... u see, there's ALOT of storms here, so in the journal i rote, I explained how I built the hut, in order to keep safe from lightning.(my drawings arent the best, but I'm sure youll b able to understand them)
The hut is made of Yinfara tree bark, which is naturally green, it doesn't get any darker. The leaves are Multicolored, and fairly thin, so that when sunlight or lightning shines through them it casts a briliant projection of colors on the Forest floor.
this is a Pic of the general size and shape of the leaves.
this, is a textured pic, of what a yinfara tree would look like without it's leaves.
here's the same thing WITH leaves (Xept the next pic kinda depicts it better)
Here's a sketch of it.
Now, you see, there's a type of bird on yinfara, that builds it's nest out of sand, and lol, it often get's struck by lightning, and causes a type of natural glass. here's a pic of what it looks like when it's all polished off, some of the leaf is trapped in the glass, so that when light shines through it, it projects multicolored lights.
and, someone actually built a house out of these, it looks reely kewl when the sun shines through it
so... twards one side of it is a nice cozy waterfall, which kinda looks like the relto one, but it has a little dock, and a brick wall seperating it from the edge of the island.
here's a kind of map of the Island:
After some problems arose, I decided to create retractable lightning rods throughout the island. the control pannel is located in the Link in Hut.
Here's a few more veiws of the link in hut, first, the general size of the hut
and last of all, here's just a little veiw of the inside of the hut (although it isn't too much of a help)
so... wat do u think? i know it still needs work... but i'm sure it should be a pretty good age to make. If you have any questions about the age, pleese ask.
