[edit] Life of Yeesha
Yeesha is the daughter of Atrus and Catherine. She was born after the events in the Book of D'ni and after the Riven game. She first appears as a baby in Catherine's arms at the beginning of Exile. Her brothers Sirrus and Achenar have already found and been trapped in Spire and Haven respectively so for the first several years of her life she grew up as an only child. After Atrus put cages in Haven and Spire to allow the family to visit the brothers she gets to meet her brothers. Sirrus uses her to escape from Spire. She runs to Haven for protection and Sirrus destroys the cage in Haven as well to get to her. He captures her and then takes her to Serenia where he intends to use the memory chamber of Serenia to put himself in Yeesha's body, learn the art of writing and then kill his parents. This starts the events in Myst IV: Revelation.
By the end of this both her brothers are dead. When she gets older she sets off to 'find herself'. Like Gehn, she goes to the uninhabited D'ni and she also goes to Anna's desert cleft. During this time she meets an old D'ni writer named Calam who has returned. He adds to her knowledge of the art and becomes a moderating factor in her style of writing. During this time she learns of ancient D'ni prophesies about the grower, which she believes is Calam. She and Calam also learn about the Bahro who have been trapped in servitude to the D'ni through control of a sacred tablet of theirs. However, Calam gets murdered.
In a fit of rage she destroys Calam's murderer. However, she also learns through this the power that she has and comes to believe that she might be the grower. With the help of the Bahro she learns to do things with her writing no D'ni has ever been able to do such as Relto. Eventually she went on a quest to free the Bahro by gaining access to their sacred tablet. Being so full of herself she fails and learns humility in the process.
After this people first start to gather to the D'ni cavern from the surface (Uru) and the way becomes clear to her how to get a second chance to free the Bahro - through another individual. This brings about the events in Myst V: End of Ages. At the end of this the Bahro are free, the D'ni have rebuilt their society in Releeshahn, The D'ni cavern is beginning to flourish with new life (from the surface) and her burden is over. She can join her father Atrus (now an old man) in Releeshahn.
