The Age seems to be an artificial island consisting of mineral formations supplemented by oriental-looking man-made structures.
PUZZLES IN MYST 3 CODE
When the correct code is entered into the panel and its related puzzle is solved, the three lowered sections of the bridge will raise and the player may gain entrance to the central pagoda. When one puzzle has been complete, the control panels for the three main puzzles close, revealing a hexagonal code the codes are for the three similar looking panels along the length of the main bridge to the central pagoda. The purpose is to correct and connect all tracks, so that a sphere completes its course. Once launched, a sphere rolls along the circuit around the structures, triggering mechanisms, but also breaking upon a hazard or an incomplete track. The complex contains three main puzzles, revolving around the central pagoda where the ice spheres are created and dropped from its top. There are also stones with magnetic properties that attract or repel other stones and can float. Atrus had imported some crystals to Narayan which, when combined with the special properties of the native water, created large impenetrable ice shields out of the mist. A rotating Water Lathe can mold an ice sphere which is quite fragile and susceptible to harmonic vibrations.

Each crystal in its natural state generates a harmonic that excites the native water molecules, causing them to bond and form a shield of ice. Amateria is the source of many crystals with special properties.
