The best place to get the lastest information about Cyan's next projects,
with such series as EDGE

always updated news page. He was there at the beginning, and he is still
there today, digging to every bit of scoop about Cyan's next project. From
the old images of Cyan's cam, to recent news of Disney involvement and
on-line gaming.

The
D'ni Desk Reference
Transcript
of all speeches of Riven; was done if I recall well when a deaf player
requested the resource I think (not sure at all). Complete transcription
of D'ni prophecies, very useful to follow discussion if you don't have
