The D’ni (New Again) started off in another age called Garternay (Root of the Great Tree), Back then the people were not called D’ni but were called Ronay (People of the Root). The Ronay had the ablitiy to write books that linked to other worlds or Ages as they called them (This practice was called The Art). These books were called Linking Books. The Ronay used The Art to create links to other worlds when it was discovered that Garternay’s sun was dying. The Ronay split off into various ages 2 of which were Terahnee (New Tree) and D’ni.

Trunk

It was 10,000 years ago that the D’ni arrived on Earth (or D’ni as they called the age). Since when they have thrived in a cavern under the earths surface in the New Mexico desert. Until roughly 200 years ago when D’ni fell.Since then an attempt to rebuild the empire by Atrus and his group failed resulting in the D’ni moving to a new age written by Atrus called Releeshahn.

Branches

D’ni was then rediscovered by a man called John “Fighting Branch” Loftin. He called in a friend Elias Zandi to help him. Elias formed the DRF (D’ni Restoration Foundation) to restore D’ni once again. After his death the DRF founded the DRC (D’ni Restoration Council). In 2004 the DRC disbanded and the restoration effort was abandoned but people still explorered the Cavern hoping to restore it. Other explorers follow the path of Yeesha daughter of Atrus to discover the truth about the fall of D’ni.

So far the story of D’ni is far from over.
