FWIW, I believe the first unknown word in the second paragraph of Schedar is "that". The writer tends to continue the last stroke of a word to cross his 't' in several instances in this entry and in others. The unknown word is on the lower left of this image; the other examples are from the same journal entry. The word "light" is the only known word ending in a 't' here, but while it's somewhat narrower, it has the same basic characteristic. That 'swoosh' is only used in the letters to cross 't's.

"The ring turned round me and I saw that beneath [x] the surface were many rings, balls of fire...."

The second unknown word I now believe to be a scrivener's error--just a mistake of the pen. Any word that might fit there would have to be a preposition (in, on, etc...), so I don't think it's significant even if there were supposed to be a word there.

Honestly, that question is, in fact, driving me bonkers.

(Not you asking it. The fact that I have the same question.)

I really think those obscured block letters in Schedar must be something, perhaps something we're supposed to have figured out by now. It's far too blatantly THERE to just be an accident or an artifact of how they made the images.

I just don't know what else to do beyond what we've already tried to do in order to figure out what the hell it says. I've even tried making Schedar and Caph translucent and overlaying them together, since traces of the block letters appear on Caph too. It didn't seem to help.

Hey guys. Ever looked if something was hidden in the jpgs?

I didn't try it myself yet. Just a possibility.

But i tried renaming the jpgs to .zip and .rar:

But there was nothing.

I ran them all through stegdetect, which reported negative.

(Although I haven't ever done much of that, so that by no means should be heard as me saying not to bother, heh.)

Nighthawk

I would be really surprised if "steg" was something necessary to complete this thing. Mainly because, up to now, I'd never heard of it before, and I'm sure others haven't either.
