An Age written by the D'ni people, known for its production of mining machinery. An explosion occurred in 4954, seemingly the result of a bad combination of gasses: one, the D'ni had brought with them and the other, already in existence on Meanas. The disaster killed 400 outsiders and 78 D'ni, Another push was begun by the isolationists to seal themselves from outsider influence. The Relyimah were in the midst of their own chaos and apparently had no information as to the facts of the explosion. There were some who though the explosion had been a set-up, but it could not be proven.
