 Chapter 2: Your  Relto Age

Let me give you a warm welcome as your arrive on your own little "Island in the Clouds". You have arrived in the Relto Age. From now on you will always start the game here every time you start the game. This "Island in the Clouds" is your own little "Safe  Haven". If you start doing wrong things, such as falling down from a great height, you will not die but you will be brought back here and from here you can go back to where you were before you died, via  the Linking Books you have found.  This Relto Age  is just a tiny island an it has some sparse vegetation and there is a house. In front of the house there are 4 small metal pillars.  I advise you to stay in 1st person go.

Walk  up the hill to the house and go to the door. Click on the door to open it and then step inside the house.

This is the only room of the house and currently it's pretty dark and that is because the shutters of the two windows are closed.

Turn left and walk to the window. On the wall, left of the window, is a lever. Click on the lever and .........

both window shutters open and bright daylight flows in. Go back to the entrance and go stand with your black turn  to the entrance,  so you look into the room. A bookcase hangs both on the left wall and on the right wall. Between both bookcases stand a large closet.  If you open up the large closet you will return to the "Avatar Settings screen".

When you are currently not satisfied with the appearance of your Avatar, then open up the large standing cupboard to enter the Avatar Screen and then you can change the appearance of your Avatar. You can always do this when you are here in Relto. 

The bookcase at the left wall (left when you stand with your back to the entrance) is the case where all your Linking books, that you have to find,  will be stored. Once you have found a Linking Book, it will automatically be put here in this bookcase. The bookcase is divided into parts and it has a number of Book Slots. At the moment there is no book in this bookcase. Go to the right bookcase (on the right if you stand with your back to the entrance). Zoom in on it. There is one book in this bookcase, it stands at the top left. 

Click on this book. It will be big in your screen. Click on it again to open the book. This book is the Ages Book and in it you can read something about each of the 4 Ages you have to visit. The book has 8 pages and each page has a D'ni symbol. These are the D'ni numbers 1 to 8. Browse the book. Each Age has its own Logo. Take good note of these 4 logos. You can find them on every odd page. 

Also try to read what is written about each of the 4 Ages. I know, it is almost impossible to read, so I have not been able to decipher this either

When  you have read the book, you close it to put it back in the cupboard. You now know the names of the 4 Ages and they are: 

Stay in 1st person and walk out of the house. Walk a few paces ahead and then stand still,  as soon as you can see those 4 small pillars that are a bit further in front of the house. There are 4 small metal pillars. On the left there are two in a row and on the right there are also two in a row. If you stand with your back to the house then you number these 4 pillars as: Left front = 1, Right front = 2, Left back = 3 and Right back = 4. 

Go stand in the middle of this 4 pillar and then just turn round to see each of the 4 pillars. On each pillar you see a Hand. Go to pillar 1 and click on the hand. The Hand lights up in a certain color and the pillar is opened. Look down. In the pillar there is a Linking Book. Do not touch that. Now go to the other 3 pillars, one at a time, and  click on the hand. Remember the color of the hand. Each pillar is opened and in each pillar there is a Linking Book. If you have numbered the pillars according to the order I have just told you, these pillars contain the following Linking Books: 

We are now going to visit these 4 Ages quickly but on arrival in every Age you immediately go back to Relto via your Relto Linking Book that you carry with you. 

It does not really matter in which order you  do this. But I took Pillar 1 first. 

So go to Pillar 1 and click on the Linking Book that is in it. The book appears open in your screen and on the right page you see the photo of Eder Kemo. Click on the picture. 

After the Loading you are in the Eder Kemo Age. Do NOT do anything, keep standing.

 Immediately press your F3 key to bring up your Relto Linking Book, or move your cursor to the bottom of your screen. 

In the bottom left corner of your screen you will see your Relto book. Click on your R elto book to open it and travel back to Relto. 

You will arrive in the bookcase room again. Go to the left bookcase and click on it to zoom in and ...... look ..... At the top shelf of the bookcase, and then in the 5th lock, stands now the Eder Kemo Linking Book. Go back outside and now travel, through the other 3 Linking Books in the other 3 pillars, to the other 3 Ages and every time you arrive you will immediately return to the bookcase room of Relto via your Relto Linking Book. 

So travel now, via the Linking Book in Pillar 2, to the Teledahn Age

You arrive in the Hut. Immediately travel back to Relto via your Relto Book. 

Back in Relto you go out of the house again and travel via the Linking Book in Pillar 3 to the Ghareesen Age: 

Travel straight back to Relto via your Relto Book and go to Pillar 4. Travel via the Linking Book in Pillar 4 to the Kadish Tolesa Age : 

Travel straight back to Relto via your Relto Book. You are back in your "spacious" Relto villa and in the left bookcase are now the 4 Linking Books of the 4 Ages. If you go outside again, to the 4 pillars, you will notice that the 4 Pillars are closed again and that you can not get them open anymore. Go back into your house and zoom in completely on the left bookcase. The Linking books that were in the pillars are now in the bookcase. You will, however, find many more Linking Books because these 4 Ages are not the only Ages you have to go to. You see that, at the top left, the 1st lock is empty. In this lock the Linking Book to the "Cleft  in the Desert" will be placed, but you still have to find this book. The 4 Linking Books you now have are:

You can visit these 4 Ages in any order and then solve all puzzles and riddles in the ages. It really does not matter in which order you want to continue playing the game. You can always, if you do not know how to continue in a certain Age, link back to Relto to go to another Age, via one of the other Linking Books to try your luck there.  However, I have played the game in the following order and this walkthrough is also written in that order: 

NB: If you continue to play the game in a different random order, I advise you not to consult this walkthrough anymore. You can not use my walkthroughs as a reference book that you can consult when you get stuck somewhere in the game and you do not know how to proceed further. I always try to make my walkthroughs in the most logical order in which you have to play a game and tell you, step by step, what to do and how to do that. I guarantee that you can play the game  easily with the help of my walkthroughs, provided you follow the walkthrough from beginning to the end.  If you are, nevertheless, get stuck in the game then in,99.999% of the cases it's due to the fact that you have missed something in the walkthrough somewhere. 

So I will go to Teledahn first. If you want to follow me, click on the book that is in the 3rd slot. The Teledahn Linking Book slides out of the cupboard and opens up in your screen. 

Click on the Linking Photo to travel to:
