The '''Star Fissure''' is an anomaly originally found in [[Riven]]. It is essentially a tear in reality that serves as a bridge between [[Age]]s, though the mechanism by which it works is not yet understood. It appears as a small crack in the ground, within which is an endless expanse of stars. Unlike space, the Fissure appears to be hospitable to life, as both the [[Stranger]] and [[explorer]]s have passed through it unharmed. | The '''Star Fissure''' is an anomaly originally found in [[Riven]].

As explorers complete her first [[Journey]], the ground between the 4 linking pedestals on Relto begins to crack and crumble. When all 4 [[bahro pillar]]s are transferred to [[D'ni]], the ground splits open, revealing the Star Fissure below. Notably, the shape of this fissure is identical to the one that originally appeared in Riven. |
It is also speculated that the "blue" [[bahro cave]]s found throughout Yeesha's Journeys somehow exist ''within'' the Star Fissure. Explorers have observed that their Relto Books do not function there, and the void beneath the cave's exit bears a striking resemblance to the void found within the Star Fissure. | It is also speculated that the "blue" [[bahro cave]]s found throughout Yeesha's Journeys somehow exist ''within'' the Star Fissure.

There is evidence of Riven's final cataclysmic collapse (including Gehn's telescope and a [[wahrk]] skeleton) strewn about the New Mexico desert in an area surrounding the [[Cleft]]. It is likely that when Atrus intentionally dropped his [[Myst]] Linking Book into the Fissure during his escape from Riven, it also appeared in this area. |
Explorers have reported that they are linked back to Relto after jumping into the void beneath the "blue" bahro caves, suggesting that the Fissure may have multiple possible exit points. | Explorers have reported that they are linked back to Relto after jumping into the void beneath the "blue" bahro caves, suggesting that the Fissure may have multiple possible exit points. | ||
