D'ni History For Agebuilders!

[Emor D'ni Lap]

Note 2024: All three links here are now defunct!
If you're writing an Age that has to tie in with existing canon, it can be difficult to locate the info you need. Here are a few resources on D'ni History that may be useful :

• Mystlore is a wiki of general D'ni info:
  http://en.mystlore.com/wiki/Main_Page
  (July 2018: offline, restoration looking highly unlikely!)
  ------------------------------------------
  
• The DPWR Archive was on hiatus for quite awhile, but Alahmnat may bring it back:

  JULY 2018 NOTE: the DPRW site now refers through to the Guild of Archivists' Wiki that Hub cites below: https://archive.guildofarchivists.org/wiki/Main_Page
  ------------------------------------------
  
• Geekmonger's compilation of resources, on the Mystonline forums:

------------------------------------------
Cyan's RAWA is generally considered the arbiter of all things D'ni;
here he offers agebuilders some "Guidelines for Official Story/Age Creation":

Please post more of your favorites; we'll compile a larger list on the website in coming months!

Another place that has collected alot of D'ni history is the D'ni Desk Reference:

Alahmnat has opened up the Guild of Archivists. It looks good, I dont know how complete the archives there are, yet. This could be a good source too.

Once you feel confident you're using the right D'ni words, how do you assemble them into proper sentences?

Talashar has done a good job of putting together the known information on D'ni grammar, and thankfully continues to update this overview:
