    Appearance

    Relto is an island in the clouds, so high above the ground that it is obscured from view. The terrain mimics the layout of Myst Island, a gently-sloping mound of land with a small spire of rock jutting up on its southern end. A stone hut stands in the same relative place as Myst's library. A newly-claimed Relto is fairly barren—the ground is dry and covered only in short scrubgrass, and the hut has a simple thatched roof with no ornamentation.

    Relto's appearance can be altered by its owner through the acquisition of Relto pages. These pages can be found scattered around various Ages and cavern locations. These pages and their ability to effect change within Relto are unique in their design, because they do not contain any D'ni writing. Instead, each one has a simple pictograph on it, depicting the sort of change or addition it makes when added. These pages are also unique because they are used in a Linking Book to affect the Age, rather than its Descriptive Book. Once a page has been added to a Relto Book, the feature it controls can be disabled simply by touching the symbol. Symbols for active features glow bright green, while inactive ones are a darker color.
