The Moiety people are a group of characters in the Myst series of books and computer games. Atrus's wife, Catherine, is the leader of the Moiety people.

They are a rebellious force that strongly oppose Gehn, the cruel overlord of the age of Riven. They have their own age, which can be accessed through a hidden linking book behind the Riven prison.

Their secret symbol is that of a stone dagger.
