The '''Great Shaft''' is the culmination of over two years' worth of work, performed primarily by the [[Guild of Surveyors]], to dig a tunnel to connect the D'ni [[cavern]] to the surface of the Earth. Initially, such a construction was rejected because of the risk it posed to the security of D'ni, and so the Surveyors tunneled for over two years, at a maximum incline of 3825 ''torans'' (22.032 degrees). Eventually, however, the [[Guild Council]] grew impatient with the slow progress of the project, and so in [[9336 DE]] they approved the construction of the Great Shaft, which bores straight up over three miles, stopping just below the surface. | The '''Great Shaft''' (''regahro tiwah'', <dni>regaro tiwa</dni>) is the culmination of over two years' worth of work, performed primarily by the [[Guild of Surveyors]], to dig a tunnel to connect the D'ni [[cavern]] to the surface of the Earth.
