Relto (from D'ni meaning "the high place") is the personal Age in Uru. Everyone gets to have their own instance of this Age, customize it and invite others to it.
Relto was created by Yeesha, who modeled it after Myst Island, as an homage to her parents Atrus and Catherine as well as Ti'ana, who had created Myst together with Catherine. Like Myst, it features a rather large island, although it is not surrounded by water, but is high in the air. There is a plateau reminiscent of that featuring large gears on Myst. Other similarities include the mountain's peak which, on Myst Island, hosts the rotating tower, and the hut which resembles the Myst Library in general shape and location.
The Relto hut features, per default, a closet in the middle and two bookshelves on each side. The left bookshelf contains linking books, whereas the right one holds journals and other pieces of information from Yeesha.

[edit] Pages
Main article: Relto page
Throughout various Ages in Uru, Relto pages are found, which add customizations to one's Relto, such as a different rooftop for the hut, or additional smaller islands off the center one. Once picked up, these pages can all individually be enabled or disabled through one's Relto linking book.
[edit] Closet
Main article: Avatar Customization
The closet customizes the appearance of one's avatar in Uru, including many sets of clothing (as one would expect in a closet) as well as different hairstyles and bodily and facial shapes to choose from.
[edit] Fissure
At a certain stage, Relto develops a star fissure, leading to the Cleft, presumably at exactly the same spot as Riven's fissure.
