May 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary
Here is the summary for the 193rd All Guilds Meeting, moderated by PodHopper, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!
Contents
OpenUru
☛ Development on MahrnGestoy and Jalargura (Pod56) continues, but they will probably open later than the next update.
☛ The currently available area in Descent will likely change a bit when the new version will open, to accomodate for changed details, at least in the public version. Hood instances may be updated at a later time.
The improved Descent will include elements from the DIRT demo, and the book in Chiso Preniv will link to the Cleft caldera, as previously seen in Myst V.
☛ Testers on the Minkata shards are asked not to post pictures from upcoming Ages. Many developers would prefer to keep the final version of their works a surprise, and locations may change quite a bit during development.
☞ For a more complete list of upcoming Ages, check the Explorers Restoration Projects list.
Events in the Cavern
☛ Skyisblu‘s Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.
☛ IwonK is taking a break from her Wonky Talks, to focus on her school assignments. She plans to get back to streaming sometime in July.
Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.
She is also working with Kefrith on an idea originating from the Mysterium Discord: a Mysterium-like online event. The work title is “Rivenium“, they are looking for ideas, events and presentations or panels. If you are interested, you can find IwonK or Kefrith on the Mysterium Discord, at the dedicated forum.
☛ Every Saturday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 15:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.
☛ Babbel is on holiday, but has prepared a few of her Classical Music programs in advance, currently hosted by PodHopper. The next event will be on Monday 18 at 12:00 KIT, in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura. The theme for this month will be “Eleven“.
☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will gather in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on July 18 at 12:30 KIT. Because of the large gap between meetings, they will do something a little different: instead of voting on a single book, they will have three novellas:
- “The Emperor’s Soul” by Brandon Sanderson
- “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang
- “The Lies of the Ajungo” by Moses Ose Utomi
They will discuss all three, but attendees are welcome to read just the ones that grab their interest.
☛ Brooketh presented the Competitive Myst Online Group, hosting an Ahyoheek game every Saturday at 21:00 KIT in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. All players are welcome, regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, they will teach you. Or you can just hang out and observe. Voice chat is encouraged, but not required; both are used.
☞ On the Open Cave shard, Ayohiker holds an analogous event every Monday at 14:00 KIT in the Ayohikers’ hood.
☛ Mystitech Productions’ The Lost Art mini-episode 16a, “EVAC“, premiered on April 25.
☛ The Age Expeditions are hosted on the Deep Island and the Open Cave shards by Korov’ev, every Sunday at 11:00 KIT. There’s also an (uncommented) Twitch stream.
In the Open Cave, they concluded the first cycle, so they will start the Journeys again, beginning with Eder Gira & Kemo. Note that invites are not updated, and new ones have the same name, so if you have one you may want to delete it before participating, or you’ll have to guess which one is correct.
In Deep Island, they will visit some of TikiBear‘s creations, then they will begin the Geologica ages, showcasing a location on Earth as it looked millions of years ago.

D’ni Language Classes
Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights.
Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.
D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
- Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
- The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
- Evening openings are on Monday to Thursday, at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
- Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
- Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice. Last-minute changes to class times will be announced via Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.
R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights
Story Night Europe and Original Story Night are currently telling the stories from Myst III: Exile. Eventually they cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni.
R’Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel. Be careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos.
Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like “DRC” or “linking books”, so your mileage may vary.
Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
- Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.
- For Story Nights – Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIT.
- On All Guilds Meeting days, the event will begin at 14:30 KIT or 30 minutes after the meeting, whichever is later.
- The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (#58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.
That was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!
March ended with the CavFunding at 103% (CavCon 3) and the reserve at 740%.
The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, June 6 (Leebro 9) at 13:00 KIT.
Until then!
