==Etymology==
The name [[Dictionary:Teledahn|Teledahn]] (<dni>teleDan</dni>) is a [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/blend#English blend] of three D'ni words:<ref>{{cite forum post|url=https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=424763#p424763|author=larryf58|title=Comments on the Pictorial Dictionary?|forum=Myst Online forums|date=December 26, 2016}}</ref>
 
* <dni>to</dni> – ''[[Dictionary:To|'''t'''o]]'' – n. 'place' or 'location'
* <dni>elemar</dni> – ''[[Dictionary:Elemahr|'''ele'''mahr]]'' – n. 'spore'
* <dni>naDanex</dni> – ''[[Dictionary:Nahdahn|nah'''dahn''']][[Dictionary:-ets|ets]]'' – adj. 'mushroomy'
 
Together the '''''t''''' of '''''t'''o'', the '''''ele''''' of '''''ele'''mahr'', and the '''''dahn''''' of ''na'''dahn'''ets'' are combined to form '''''teledahn'''''.

[[Douglas Sharper]] (often referred to by his last name) was a third-party contractor who was assigned to restore Teledahn by the [[DRC]]. Much like Hinahsh, it's suspected, he became quite endeared with its quirky environment and rich history. Despite taking numerous leaves of absence, mostly during Christmas time, this is where the bulk of Sharper's DRC work occurred {{ndash}} though towards the end he had moved on to work on the [[Great Tree Pub]] in [[Ae'gura]]. Sharper kept his knowledge of the slave aspect of this Age hidden from his superiors, like Dr. [[Richard A. Watson]] (and others). By befriending [[Nick White]], one of the DRC's translators, he learned as much as possible about Teledahn (and then Rebek) without the consent of the DRC. Sharper also discovered a massive amphibious creature that swam in the waters outside the harvesting area. He named this animal "[[Shroomie]]" because it liked to feed on the giant mushroom-trees. While he did hunt one of them for sport, he reportedly later regretted the action, and has not done so since. As he had finished much of the restoration process needed on Teledahn by 2002, he was recalled to work on Ae'Gura, and only took brief visits to Teledahn after that.

When [[Phil Henderson]] returned to the cavern in late 2003, Sharper recruited him to help foment resentment of the DRC's strict control over the cavern. They used a [[spy room|secret room]] to spy on the DRC's meetings in Ae'gura, and kept the linking book to this room hidden in an alcove near the slave caves on Teledahn. Explorers left behind by the DRC after their withdrawal from the cavern in 2004 were able to find this alcove thanks to notes left in Sharper's journals. When the cavern was re-opened to the public in 2007, explorers kept a watchful eye on the alcove in Teledahn, which had been emptied at some point in the past. On September 10th, 2007, the Spy Room link returned, though this time in the form of a [[bahro stone]], and its destination altered to a different spy room. Despite its existence being common knowledge, it has not been removed since that time.

==Journey proverb==
A notebook provided by [[Yeesha]] includes a proverb for each Age in the [[Yeesha's_Journeys#First_Journey|Journey]]. Teledahn's is:
 
"The truth of a man is found in the darkness, beneath the surface. Some light might reveal only what some men want to be seen." - Regeltavok Oorpah; Book 9, Entry 221, Item 24
