This path was constructed by the [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] between 9336 and 9337 DE. It was excavated by a small team from the [[Guild of Surveyors]], including [[Aitrus]]. They were tasked with digging a tunnel to the surface that could be walked with minimal difficulty—and which could be easily defended from invaders, should humans have proved to be hostile. It was constrained to a maximum incline of roughly 22 degrees, and excavation ran for over a year before impatience within the [[Guild Council]] prompted the construction of the Great Shaft to complete the route quickly with a direct, vertical ascent. | This path was constructed by the [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] between 9336 and 9337 DE.

− | There are two entrances to the Descent from the surface. One is from within the caldera of the volcano, while the other—the "[[Ti'ana]]/[[John Loftin|Loftin]] Entrance"—is elsewhere in the New Mexico desert. Both entrances connect to the top of the Great Shaft, but only the Ti'ana/Loftin Entrance is used and controlled by the DRC. The volcano entrance is on property owned by [[Jeff Zandi]], whose [[ | + | There are two entrances to the Descent from the surface.

The volcano entrance is on property owned by [[Jeff Zandi]], whose [[Eli Zandi|father]] was one of the co-discoverers of D'ni in the mid-1980s CE. Explorers do not have direct access to either entrance, however. For them, access to D'ni is obtained through [[Relto]], an Age provided by [[Yeesha]] as part of the first [[Yeesha's_Journeys#First_Journey|Journey]]. |
In 2021, it was announced that the Descent would be restored by the [[Fourth Restoration of D'ni|current explorer restoration effort]]. | In 2021, it was announced that the Descent would be restored by the [[Fourth Restoration of D'ni|current explorer restoration effort]]. |
