{{infobox device | image = Golden_dome.jpg | location = [[Riven]] }} The '''Golden Superdome''' was a powerplant on [[Temple Island]] on the [[Age]] of [[Riven]]. Its purpose was to generate power and direct it to the five [[firemarble dome]]s located on each of Riven's islands, where they would in turn power [[Gehn]]'s faulty [[book|linking books]]. It resembled the smaller firemarble domes, but was made primarily of brick coated with a shiny gold paint. [[D'ni language|D'ni text]] saying "The end of the world is near" was inscribed around the outside of the dome. Inside the dome on the lower level was a large basin filled with water, likely meant as a cooling system. Power was generated by a "waffle iron" shaped device on the upper level of the dome. The waffle iron was actually a grid representing the five islands of [[Riven]]. To activate the superdome, five differently-colored marbles had to be placed on the grid in the cell that represented the corresponding firemarble dome for that island. These marbles were specially modified [[firemarble]]s called [[power-marbles]]. Unlike firemarbles which release energy slowly over time in the form of light, power-marbles could release a tremendous amount of energy rapidly. If the marbles were placed correctly on the grid, five small pins would strike the marbles and release that energy. A distribution machine below the grid on the dome's lower level would send a surge of plasma to the five firemarble domes, powering them up. {{Riven navbox}} [[Category:Riven]] [[Category:Riven locations]] [[Category:Places appearing in Riven]]
