Uru Glossary
MOUL
MOUL
This version of the Uru Glossary contains the items from Myst Online – Uru Live (2007-2008), the new revival (2010-),
as well as the new fan-created Ages added after August 2020.
The currently available public Uru shards:
Gehn shard Minkata Shard The Open Cave shard Guild of Messengers shard list
In the latter two shards you can play on-line MOUL as well as the fan created Ages.
There are several names, terms and expressions used in Uru (many of them originating from the slang of the early explorers), which are unknown to new adventurers. To help them we have created this brief glossary. We are aware that some spoiling is inevitable, however, we have tried to keep this to a minimum. Items in pink are basic terms in the game. Items in light green color are referred to as 
OOC. New fan age entries are in skyblue.
On touching or clicking any of these small 
icons an additional image pops up.
Apart from some basic information regarding the DRC and its members, Uru Glossary is not dealing with the IC RPG storyline in detail. These are obsolete now. You may read about those events in the Uru Live or other forums. These entries are displayed in brown

For the time being, little is known about these non-human "beast people", Yeesha calls them the "Least". They were probably the inhabitants of the cave system before the arrival of the D'ni. Although they are intelligent creatures, the D'ni treated them as animals only. You can see them in the endgame of Yeesha's quest at the rim of the crater.
