The '''Ahnonay Cathedral''' is an [[Age]] used by former Guild Master [[Kadish]] as an intermediary stop on the way to [[Ahnonay]]. The only accessible thing in this Age is a long corridor in an enclosed structure. This place was referred to as the "Ahnonay Temple" on the [[DRC]]'s restoration project page.


The Ahnonay Cathedral is also known as the Ahnonay Temple and the Ahnonay Linking Chamber, but in any case, should not be confused with the Age of Ahnonay.
As part of Kadish's efforts to prove himself as the [[Grower]]—a long-ago prophesied pseudo-religious figure with tremendous powers—he used this Age in conjunction with Ahnonay to fool people into thinking he could travel through time. Kadish would lead guided tours of Ahnonay, shuttling people back and forth between it and the Cathedral. The Cathedral's hallway is long enough that, once his guests had all linked away from Ahnonay, the rotating sphere mechanism there had enough time to rotate to the next "era" before Kadish's tour group linked back, giving the illusion of time travel.


The Cathedral seems to be part of a water world like Ahnonay, but we do not know anything about it outside the cathedral-like structure. During Kadish's mission to prove himself as the Grower, he used this Age in conjunction with Ahnonay to fool people into thinking that he could travel through time. He did this by leading guided tours through Ahnonay. Once Kadish and his party linked to the Cathedral, they would proceed to the book altar, where they returned to Ahnonay. Linking to the Temple and back would give Kadish's giant mechanism enough time to rotate to the next sphere, thus creating the illusion of time travel.


It should be noted that, although there are 4 spheres in Ahnonay, the cathedral only links to the 3 complete ones. However, after breaching the sphere device's security implement, the book, like the one in your Relto, can access the 4th sphere as well. Even so, once the book pedestal there is used, the cycle resets.

Strangely, both this Age and Ahnonay itself bear dozens of similarities to the Mechanical Age of MYST.

The Ahnonay Cathedral is an Age used by former Guild Master Kadish as an intermediary stop on the way to Ahnonay. The only accessible thing in this Age is a long corridor in an enclosed structure. This place was referred to as the "Ahnonay Temple" on the DRC's restoration project page.

As part of Kadish's efforts to prove himself as the Grower—a long-ago prophesied pseudo-religious figure with tremendous powers—he used this Age in conjunction with Ahnonay to fool people into thinking he could travel through time. Kadish would lead guided tours of Ahnonay, shuttling people back and forth between it and the Cathedral. The Cathedral's hallway is long enough that, once his guests had all linked away from Ahnonay, the rotating sphere mechanism there had enough time to rotate to the next "era" before Kadish's tour group linked back, giving the illusion of time travel.
