Myst Island
The Endgame
The Ages

Mechanical Age

Click once anywhere on the screen to take one step back, then turn around until you see a round building; it's a fortress, so click on the runway and start going forward until you enter. Go left, and continue until you reach a room with a lot of mechanical devices (clock, spaceship) and a fancy throne. Face it and click on the wall near the bottom right of the throne to open a door behind it. Enter the room and examine the wine rack to find a note from Achenar to Sirrus, then turn around and look inside an open crate in a corner to find a red page. You don't need to grab it right now. Exit the room and go down the hallway to the other room (you'll either run right into it or return to the entrance of the building, at which point you take the path you didn't take earlier). You'll find another room with a "throne." To the left is a doorway you can click on to reveal another hidden room that contains the blue page. So finding the pages was easy - it's getting back to Myst Island that's going to be tough.

 
  Click on the bottom right of this throne seat to cause a door to slide open behind it, then enter and look in a crate to find a red page.
   
 
  Use this device in the room where you discovered the blue page to practice rotating the fortress.

In the room containing the blue page, you'll see a device to the left of the throne. This is the Fortress Rotation Simulator, used to - you guessed it - practice rotating the fortress. To rotate the fortress, push the left lever up and release, push and hold the right lever to begin the rotation, release the right lever, pull the left lever down when the pointer nears east and again when it reaches north, noting the respective sounds. Remember them because the sounds will be your only clue when actually rotating the fortress.
