Walkthrough

(to read the spoiler, select it with your mouse or press "Ctrl+A")

Explore and figure out which buttons do what.
Step on the purple plate to open the center area.
  A green button appears on the center pedestal; push it to open the North door.
    Note the clue: "Four lights in a ring," and note that this appears to be the left side of a torn note.
    Push the hand button to make the blue button on the center pedestal appear.
  Push the blue button on the center pedestal to open the the South door.
    Note the hand symbol clues on the wall.
    Pass the white bars on the walls and they will turn yellow, indicating that the yellow button on the center pedestal has been activated.  Take a look through the glass door to the room beyond while you are here.
  Push the yellow button on the center pedestal to rotate the East wall.
    If you push the hand symbol on this wall, you can see that the floor panel in the room has turned purple, indicating that it is active, just like the similar panel when you first entered this Age.  (Female avatars are shorter and cannot see the floor panel through the window.)
    Push the yellow button again to get the bench side of the wall back.
    You can push the blue button on the center pedestal now, if you want to save time later.
    Sit on the bench and look down to the left and click on the cup, which will rotate you into the room.
    Note the message saying "open places deep below." and that this appears to be the right side of a torn note.
    Step on the blue plate to open the glass door.  (It must be blue, or you need to go back and press the button on the other side of the wall.)
    Follow the corrider to behind where the South doors have closed.  If you did not close them earlier, go back and do so.
    Read the note: "stand before and jump up so," and that it appears to be a center piece.
    Push the hand symbol to open the secret passage behind the bookshelf.
  Go back to the main room, and click the book on the wall bookshelf, to move the large bookshelf.  Now, when you walk towards the end, the secret passage will open and let you enter the round red room.
    The note on the wall reads "new view red will bring:" and it is another middle piece.
    You must sit in the chairs in the order that the hands point in the previous hallway.  (Apparently opening/closing the door can reset the puzzle, so that you can try again.)
    (Solution: 11-4-3-8)
    When you sit in the 4th chair, the center will rise up and expose a button.  Push it to enable the red button on the center pedestal.
  Push the red button on the center pedestal.  There will be no immediately visible change.
    Put together the 4 parts of the rhyme.
    (Solution: "Four lights in a ring, new view red will bring: stand before and jump up so, open places deep below.")
    Search for this "new view".
    (Solution: the painting of the hood is now a painting of Ae'gura.)
    Stand in front of this painting and jump, to open the passage.
    Follow it down to the room that says the Age is "to be continued".
    You're done; enjoy!
