{{for|complete information on the Unexplored Branches|GoArch:Unexplored Branches}}
'''Unexplored Branches''' is the official expanded universe of the Myst universe, and includes content from ancillary sources, Cyan concept documents, and certain approved fan content. Because of the nature of this content, different works in the Unexplored Branches may contradict one another. The Unexplored Branches should be considered 'loosely canon' and contradictions should be viewed in the light of potential possibilities.
Unexplored Branches content includes:
* [[Unwritten]] content
* Cyan work released under the [[Intangibles]] umbrella
* Fan-created Ages and Cavern locations on the official MOULa server
The {{tlx|Unexplored Branches}} template should be applied to articles that include Unexplored Branches content.
