'''Eder Gira''' | '''Eder Gira''' is an arid garden [[Age]] that was used by [[Yeesha]] and the [[bahro]] as part of the [[Journey]]. | ||
==Appearance== | ==Appearance== | ||
The Age is a volcanic scrap of land, dotted with steam vents and a waterfall. A number of large fossilized bones dot the landscape, and a series of inter-connected dark passageways run through the back ridge, behind the waterfall. Small manta-ray-like creatures can be found swimming in the pond below the falls, and baskets arrayed around the caves in the rear of the Age indicate that at one time this Age may have featured fishing as a distraction from everyday life in the [[cavern]]. From the link-in location that modern day visitors find themselves taken to, a large forest can be seen in the distance, beyond the area that is currently accessible. In the middle of the forest are ruins. Whether these ruins belonged to the D'ni who visited the Age or the Age's inhabitants is currently unknown. A link to Gira's sister Age, [[Eder Kemo]], can be found near the waterfalls. | The Age is a volcanic scrap of land, dotted with steam vents and a waterfall.

This Age was written during what the [[DRC]] has labeled a "Garden Binge" period around 8100 DE. This latest information from the DRC definitively closed the debate amongst explorers over whether Gira and its sister Age, Eder Kemo, are Ages which date back to the time of King Shomat, who ruled in the early 300's DE. | ||

A strange [[linking stone]] - likely placed there by either Yeesha or one of the bahro, connects this Age to the DRC research station atop the [[Tokotah Rooftop]] in [[Ae'gura]], and the DRC have recently re-installed the Linking Book back to the Nexus. | ||
