I cribbed the translated version from online. I wasn't about to sit and translate word for word (although I could have, but it would have taken me too long and too much thought back to classes I haven't taken for two decades or so).

Wolf, you did a great job! I wouldn't have known what is was. Greywethers is probably using a certain translation for the clue. I just googled Vulpis et Corvus and got the one from above. If it wasn't for you....

Ok guys, question.
How can their be so many translations of the same words? I checked out your site Cem (pretty cool ) and it's the same as the one I found (besides the few words), but a totally different translation. No wonder I can't get my sh*t straight playing this game.

I guess through the ages it would depend on which language it was translated "from". I think yours lies more in the French version.

I am no expert in Latin, in fact I know nothing of how it translates (we don't take Latin here in Canada)...but I thought I remembered someone at some point saying that it's tricky to translate...

I think the password starts with a "S". Here is part of one of the emails from psammead.

the password starts with an alias
another name by which I'm known
with letter pairs to be removed
to be left with letters eight alone


the alias of greywethers was standing stones and we removed the pairs and are left with these 8: adnigoes.

So if the alias starts with the "S", so would the password (that is if I'm interpreting the above correctly ). Does anyone else see something different?

I see it as it "Starts out" with an alias/another name by which I'm known.
It starts with it but doesn't "end" up the way it starts out...after transforming it, or would that be "transmuting" it or "transmutating" it...lol
....you know what I mean

I thought of that too. I tried replacing the vec.html with Aesop.html. No luck.

Here's another part of one from psammead:

but there's one for each yet two per one
on every page of signs and sums
so pay attention in your passing
a name can tell you many things
"a ragman" you're not looking for
it's time to do some ciphering


How would someone interprete the underlined part?
