Keta (Myst)Keta (D'ni: Kehtah/Keta), originally named Leira but renamed by Gehn, was from a group of people known as the Amad — which is what the D'ni called those encountered on the Surface above the Great Cavern. After the downfall of the D'ni empire Anna and her son Gehn left the D'ni cavern. They settled on the surface in the Cleft, near where the Amad lived. Somewhat later Gehn left his mother, and met Keta, whom he married sometime after. Keta contracted an illness while she was pregnant and died giving birth to Gehn's son, Atrus. She was buried at the bottom of the Cleft, where small blue flowers have grown ever since. Soon after her death, Gehn, being angry at the world he knew and at everything that had happened, left The Cleft to return to the D'ni Cavern. He abandoned his newborn son Atrus — not even naming him — to the child's grandmother, Anna, only to retrieve him some fourteen years later. Gehn believed that Keta's people were related to the D'ni, which Uru confirms through veiled hints: there are indications that some D'ni made their way to the surface in the past. The picture shown here is one that hangs on the wall in Gehn's bedroom on his 233rd Age. Within the room is an imager made by Gehn showing a recording of Keta speaking to him in D'ni: Is it ready? You know, I will always love you to the greatest extent. The writing on the picture of Keta is hard to read, but it seems to say "To Gehn, my husband and my salvation. I dedicate myself to the love that rescued me." As with everything else in the game, the picture of Keta is not 'historic', but rather chosen to represent Keta. The picture is actually of Kate Vander Wende, the wife of Richard Vander Wende, a former Cyan employee hired from Disney for Riven.
