Gehn's 234th Age was intended to serve as a sanctuary for himself and the Rivenese after the collapse of Riven. Being trapped on Riven with no foreseeable way out made the writing of a sanctuary particularly urgent. He began writing the Age after his 233rd Age proved too inhospitable to support life long term. While Age 234 had been at least close to completion, ultimately Gehn deemed the Age a failure, burning the Descriptive Book in his firepit on Age 233.

Gehn instead chose to begin writing Age 235, presumably to replace Age 234. However, the Rivenese were ultimately relocated to Tay by Catherine.
