He was working in and researching the southwestern United States when, in [[1989 CE|1989]], his friend [[Elias Zandi]] informed him that he had made an enormous discovery in New Mexico: the [[D'ni cavern]]. The two established a non-profit organization called the [[D'ni Restoration Foundation]], and with assistance from other friends and colleagues, they explored and worked to restore the cavern until Elias's death in [[1996 CE|1996]]. | ||
In January, of [[1997 CE|1997]], Watson founded the [[D'ni Restoration Council]] to oversee the restoration efforts. He chaired the organization until late [[2003 CE|2003]], when the apparent death of DRC research engineer [[Phil Henderson]] drove him into despair. [[Reference:Richard_Watson,_personal_journal|Watson's journal]] was later found in the [[Great Shaft]], where he explained to those who might find it that he had left to seek out [[Yeesha]]. | In January, of [[1997 CE|1997]], Watson founded the [[D'ni Restoration Council]] to oversee the restoration efforts.

In [[2005 CE|2005]], after the rest of the DRC and many of [[explorers]] had left D'ni due to a lack of restoration funding, Watson returned to complete Yeesha's failed quest to obtain the [[Tablet]], and ultimately freed the [[bahro]] by giving it to them. | In [[2005 CE|2005]], after the rest of the DRC and many of [[explorers]] had left D'ni due to a lack of restoration funding, Watson returned to complete Yeesha's failed quest to obtain the [[Tablet]], and ultimately freed the [[bahro]] by giving it to them. | ||
While the DRC returned to D'ni in early [[2007 CE|2007]], Watson did not join in their new restoration efforts. Instead, he returned publicly to the cavern in September of that year, warning explorers that the [[bahro civil war]] would come to D'ni, and that it was up to them to find a way to protect themselves from its impact. | While the DRC returned to D'ni in early [[2007 CE|2007]], Watson did not join in their new restoration efforts.

On [[November 16]], [[2007 CE|2007]], he also invited the [[D'ni Linguistic Fellowship]] to assist him in researching the [[D'ni language]], but since the re-closure of the cavern in [[2008 CE|2008]], that effort has apparently ceased. | ||
