PROJECT: D'NARI

You are one of the last surviving members of a long-lived, yet dying, race of people known as the D’NARI.  The D'NARI are gifted with the ability to create WORLDS using the METHOD. You are a writer, one of those D’NARI whose sole task is to create such WORLDS. 

As D’NARI WORLDS are so fragile and have been collapsing for quite some time, this document is composed of fragments and excerpts to serve as a collective reference for current writers. There is enough content here to create WORLDS and DOMAINS.

The prompts provided here were created and approved by the D’NARI council of elder writers. These prompts are not extensive, and additional prompts may be phased into this guide as the council develops new ones.

This project is ongoing (in development) and may change and be added to as D’NARI council elders work on it. The very title Project: D’NARI may change.

REQUIREMENTS

In order to use the METHOD writers require:

• A journal per WORLD.
• A set of polyhedral dice.
• Writing utensils.
• Extra paper. 
• Eight CREATION CRYSTALS (tokens). 
• Two special D’NARI symbols or cards: the INITIATION (ASHA) and COMPLETION (ORAH) (cards are still in development).

INSPIRATION

• Cyan Worlds video games: Myst Series, Riven: The Sequel to Myst, URU, Codename: Anglerfish, Obduction, and Firmament.
• Myst-Likes: Rhem Series, Neyyah, Haven Moon, and Quern.
• Thousand-Year-Old Vampire by Tim Hutchings. 

CONTENT WARNING

This game has themes of terraforming, environmental manipulation, peril, isolation, loneliness, abandonment, imprisonment, tyranny, death, betrayal, and the end of WORLDS.
