What follows is a list of the [[Myst/Ages|Ages]] visited in the game of [[Myst V: End of Ages]].

* '''Creatures:''' Fireflies
* '''Geography:''' A purple cavernous Age with underground streams and bridges.

What follows is a list of the [[D'ni Ages|Ages]] visited in the new game of [[Myst V: End of Ages]].
'''Direbo''' is the "hub" Age of the game, consisting of a small underground cavern with several "islands", linked by bridges. Each "island" contains a "linking bubble" with a special pedestal to link the player to other Ages in the game. Each island also contains a linking book on a pedestal back to various Eder Tomahn (rest houses) in the paths back to D'ni.

== Tahgira ==
[[Image:Myst_V_Taghira_Age.jpg|thumb|left|Bridge to an island on Tahgira]]
Very little information was disclosed about any of the Ages besides Noloben before Myst V's release, adding to the mystery of the game overall.
* '''Creatures:''' Thermophilic bacteria
* '''Geography:''' A frigid ice world of several icebergs in an endless sea.
* '''Inhabitants:''' None
* '''Vegetation:''' Giant mushroom-like trees.
* '''Written by:''' Unknown
* '''Slate power:''' Thermal steam.
== Direbo ==
'''Tahgira''' — a desolate and snowy wasteland that sits on floating icebergs, Tahgira was written as a prison Age. The worst of the D'ni criminals would be sent there to live out the remainder of their life; their graves are visible at the end of the Age. The prisoners confined to Tahgira built during their stay a complex system to heat parts of the Age. The heating system can be used to a great advantage as it attracts thermophilic bacteria which can then be walked upon. The Tahgira Slate, when used properly, can heat the Age, thus warming various frozen controls vital to the heating system.

== Todelmer ==

'''Direbo''' is the "hub" [[D'ni Ages|Age]] of the game, consisting of a small underground cavern with several "islands", linked by bridges. Each "island" contains a "linking bubble" with a special pedestal to link the player to other [[D'ni Ages|Ages]] in the game. Some of the islands also contain linking books.
'''Todelmer''' — An astronomy Age where the D'ni studied the heavens, Todelmer is an observatory complex built on stone pillars perched high above a planet's surface. A tram system runs between the two major observatories, each of which has controls to move viewing scopes. A huge blue-ringed planet is clearly visible from Todelmer; an observation pod similar to the one planned for the Age of Negilahn floats above its surface and holds the Keep for the Age. In Todelmer it is possible to manipulate time by means of the Bahro slate.

* '''Creatures:''' [[Myst V: End of Ages/Characters#Bahro|Bahro]], snakes, pelicans, other sea birds
* '''Geography:''' A small grassy island, with a large white stone building in the centre, and surrounded by a calm beach. Also features many other smaller islands.

'''Noloben''' - The "beach Age". Not much is known about this Age, but it was originally designed for [[Uru: Ages Beyond Myst|Uru]], and later cancelled. Players will finally visit Noloben in ''Myst V'' after six years of waiting.
'''Noloben''' — The "beach Age". Here Esher, a D'ni archivist who fled to the Age after D'ni's fall, experimented with the Bahro's linking powers. In a large stone building built through the island itself he kept Bahro in cages and, during his stay there, learned of their great linking powers and the Tablet that, if possessed, could control them. On Noloben, one can call upon the Bahro with the slate to make it rain for approximately 90 seconds, thus facilitating the movement of the Noloben Tablet to the Keep at the end of the Age. It is also where it is hardest to attract the Bahro, as the laboratory is guarded by their worst fear, snakes.
== Todelmer ==
This Age's internal name at Cyan Worlds was "Siralehn". However, the Age's design was based on images that had circulated for years. It was already known to fans that the Age in the pictures was called "Noloben", so Cyan used that name for reasons of nostalgia.
[[Image:Todelmer_Age.jpg|thumb|150px|left|The telescope on Todelmer]]
'''Todelmer''' - This Age was also originally planned for [[Uru: Ages Beyond Myst|Uru]] but cancelled. It is the astronomy Age, where the D'ni began to study the heavens, but did not finish. There are four telescopes that can be controlled on Todelmer. There are also two huge blue, ringed planets very nearby; in the ring system of one of them is some form of capsule.
This world can also be seen in the beginning of the Myst V Trailer.

[[Image:Lakiahn_Age.jpg|thumb|150px|left|A building on Lakiahn]]
* '''Creatures:''' Laki (nearly extinct), Pirahna Birds (small vicious birds)
'''Laki''' - the so-called slave age, where the D'ni people would put creatures together to watch them fight. It is arguably the largest of the Ages in Myst V.

<!--Large space to ensure proper layout - can be removed as more information is added-->
'''Laki'ahn''' — a large, flat sandy island characterized by towering rounded rocks and palms. During the D'ni Empire, a great gladatorial arena, holding pens, and trading house were built on the Age to exploit its one natural resource: red gemstones. These stones, found in the stomach of the aquatic laki for which the Age was named after, were highly prized in D'ni. Laki were captured and killed by the Kresh, the native people of Laki'ahn, in the arena to the great amusement of the D'ni spectators. The gemstones were then removed and taken into the trade house to be sorted and presumably sent to D'ni. The main source of power on the Age is wind; when a symbol is drawn on the Laki'ahn Slate the Bahro will make a sandstorm, thus turning the windmill and repowering the Age for around 90 seconds.

*'''Age of D'ni''' — The planet Earth. Contains the underground cavern of '''D'ni''', '''The Cleft''' on the surface, and nearby '''Tomahna'''. In ''Myst V'', players can visit the interior of a building on the island of [[Myst/Ages#K'veer|K'veer]] (including Atrus' prison from the original game [[Myst]]), the inside of the dormant volcano near the Cleft, and the Great Shaft, a three mile long shaft connecting the surface to the lower system of tunnels.
*'''[[Myst/Ages#Myst Island|Myst]]''' - The "hub" Age from the original game. Players may link to Myst and explore most of it during the endgame. The Age is in ruins and none of the devices are operable.
