A few months back, I had an idea for an area of the D'ni cavern, used by a group known as the "Writers of Illumination". The idea was heavily influenced by the concept of the Illuminati in Dan Brown's book Angels and Demons.
The concept I had was what if there was a group during the fall of D'ni, comprised of Guild Members from all different guilds. Archivists, Writers, Maintainers, etc. This small group was dedicated to the idea of a free D'ni. They believed that the laws set forth by the Guilds concerning the Art, compromised the future of D'ni. That the only way they could fully master the Art was to break the rules set forth for it by the Guilds. Such as not writing man made objects, and not messing with the laws of physics when it came to age writing. This group met secretly in the cavern at their "Temple of Illumination" and there secretly used both D'ni technology coupled with the Art, to write and alter descriptive books in experimentations.
Now with MORE on the way, I've decided to pick up this lost "age" I was working on and complete it, in the hopes that it will be included for MORE and CC.
Please understand this is all a work in progress at this point, so don't expect perfection
