The exact setting of Myst V in relation to its predecessors is rather ambiguous. While it is marketed as a Myst game, it takes place in present time, roughly around its release (late 2005): ''after'' the events contained within [[Uru: Ages Beyond Myst]] (late 2003), [[Uru: To D'ni|To D'ni]] and [[Uru: The Path of the Shell|The Path of the Shell]] (spring 2004), but ''before'' the revamped [[Myst Online: Uru Live]] (late 2006 and beyond). | The exact setting of Myst V in relation to its predecessors is rather ambiguous.

| − | This gap of about two centuries made it unclear if the character played is the [[Stranger]] of the other Myst games: since that person was presumably human, they would probably be dead by now, barring time travel. This question had been deliberately left unanswered by [[Cyan]], to encourage fan speculation and to be explored in further detail later on. On September 11, [[2007 CE|2007]], [[Dr. Watson]] indirectly revealed that he, in fact, was the actual protagonist.<ref>[http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=205526#205526 | + | This gap of about two centuries made it unclear if the character played is the [[Stranger]] of the other Myst games: since that person was presumably human, they would probably be dead by now, barring time travel.

The player is employed by [[Yeesha]] to go on a journey across four [[Ages]], finding [[Slate]]s on each Age that control the [[bahro]]. At each of these Ages, the player is treated to a speech by the [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] man, [[Esher]], who has deluded himself into believing he is the [[Grower]]. At the end, each of the four Slates are used to free the [[Tablet]], and you have the choice of giving it to Yeesha, Esher, or a third, somewhat less obvious choice. | The player is employed by [[Yeesha]] to go on a journey across four [[Ages]], finding [[Slate]]s on each Age that control the [[bahro]].
