Linking panel
From MYSTlore
(Redirected from Gateway image)
A linking panel is found in Bahro stones, descriptive books and linking books. They are square panels that allows someone to link to another Age when they are touched.
The panel depicts what the exact place you are about to link to looks like.
[edit] Artistic license
The following section is written from an OOC point of view. Events and elements surrounding the Myst Universe are regarded as fictional.
Even though they are an integral part of all Myst and Uru computer games, linking books aren't actually represented entirely correctly in any of them. Inaccuracies include the use of a fly-by so the player gets a good visual overview of the age, static images which don't show what is currently happening at the location and an imprecise representation, not showing the exact location one would link to in the panel.
Such imperfections probably fall under the term artistic license.
