==Temple to the Art== In terms of visual design, the room was a tribute of sorts to the Art of Writing, and [[Gehn]]'s godhood. This was likely to impress the notion of his divinity upon his followers. At each of the five corners of the room was a large pillar made of a solid tree trunk, representing the trees that [[book]]s are made from. On the pillars was a model of a [[scarab|scarab beetle]], from which the [[Ink]] was harvested. Opening the wings on these beetles revealed a little window through which one could see an illustration representing Gehn's dominion over [[Riven]]. The ceiling was blue and covered in stars. This possibly represented the [[Star Fissure]] or the void between [[Age]]s. Ceilings depicting star fields were not uncommon in [[D'ni]] design, as evidenced by the [[Kadish Gallery]] and the [[Neighborhood Classrooms]]. Hanging from the ceiling was a decoration shaped like a pin nib, representing the hand of the Writer crafting an [[Age]] out of the void. This depiction is at odds with the D'ni view of Writing, as the [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] believed that Ages were created by [[Yahvo|the Maker]] and not the Writer. On the three walls that did not contain a door were written [[Reference:Gehn's Prayers|prayers to Gehn]] in [[D'ni language|D'ni]].
