This diary summarizes the history of events leading to the Stranger's present situation Atrus cannot explain in depth, as he is engaged in rewriting the descriptive book of Riven, in an attempt to slow its deterioration. Eventually, the Stranger discovered the unharmed Myst book, sparking the events of Myst and, some time later, Riven.Īt the beginning of Riven, Atrus equips the Stranger with a trap book-a snare that functions as a one-man prison, yet looks identical to a linking book-and his personal diary. Catherine was later tricked into returning to Riven by her sons, whereupon she was taken hostage by Gehn. In the misbelief that it would be destroyed, they let the book fall into the Star Fissure, a rift leading out of the damaged Age of Riven into a mysterious, spacelike void. Gehn is himself trapped on Riven, as Atrus and Catherine had previously removed all linking books from the Age the very last book to be removed, linking to the Age of Myst, was the one they held to escape Riven. Her captor is Gehn (John Keston), Atrus' manipulative father and self-appointed ruler of Riven. Atrus needs the Stranger's help to free his wife, Catherine (Sheila Goold voice by Rengin Altay), who is held hostage on the slowly collapsing Age of Riven. Atrus knows the ancient art of creating "linking books", specially written books that serve as portals to other worlds, known as "Ages". The player assumes the role of the Stranger, the protagonist of the first game and friend of Atrus (Rand Miller). Riven's story continues where Myst and its companion novel, Myst: The Book of Atrus, left off.
