Reference:RAWA

Back before the release of Uru, RAWA—who is in charge of D'ni lore at Cyan—occasionally posted lore information and clarifications on the Riven Lyst mailing list and its successor, the Lyst, in response to fan inquiries. Over the years, he has also responded directly to various emailed inquiries from individual fans. While RAWA's posts on various forums can be found and linked for reference—even if it has to be done through archive.org—the things he wrote through email cannot be. To that end, this collection of sub-pages is a compilation of that material.
