Full Circle
The group does seem to change around a lot doesn’t it?
Around 5 years ago The Third Path was formed with the notion of archiving D’ni, uniting the explorers and running the Ter’ni Project, a project that sought to repopulate D’ni once again, mixing D’ni culture with Earth and creating a new branch on the Great Tree of Possibility.
The DRC pulled out and closed the Cavern in 2004, and we became focused on taking on the restoration ourselves, thus the group became the Restorers Guild.
In 2006 the DRC returned, and once again the left and the cavern closed again. At this point the focus of the group had left restoration, leaving it to the DRC to do. Instead focus turned to The Art and the Ages that members of the group had written over the years. The Ter’ni Project was started and instead of being focused on creating a new branch of the Great Tree in D’ni it was instead set up on an Age Written specifically for the project which was given the same name, Ter’ni.
The Ter’ni Project became an experimenting in seeding another work with humanity, at some point the Age will seal itself off and continue without Earth for many years before the Link is reopened and we can see what effect has taken upon the Age.
So the group discussed between themselves, and with Robert Lumley about the future and what to do. It was decided to go back to the roots and become The Third Path again, albeit slightly different than before.
So the Restorers Guild is gone? Well no, not quite. The Restorers Guild is now a small group of people within The Third Path who primarily deal with restoration projects that get brought to our attention either by the D’ni Restoration Council or the Subterranean Restorations groups. It is just that restoration is not our prime focus.
Not only that but with the rise of the Guilds, we felt that perhaps it would be best to not get people confused as to whether we are trying to be a Guild or just be a group.
