 		Thanks. Reading your interesting notes, Caffiend, which are way easier to grasp than...

the Update on the TEDO blog titled: Teaching 3: Dorslishn & Temporal Mechanic=s
Also, this email from Abie where it's seems imo she may have a secret re the TEDO.
Quote:
I am not aware of what those designs might be. When I was with them so long ago now, they wanted me to teach them how to make the Per'tnel. But they wanted the teaching without taking the time for the learning. They were eager, but not dedicated. Perhaps they want the same again now? I am unsure.

As for the Destroyer of Time...well that is a long story.

Thank you for your concern

Abie the Time


EDIT: For TEH dictionary. Abie confirmed to Caffiend that Zurk =Master and ZurkDorsh =Darkness between moments

That last part is just referencing Dorsh.

The TEDO are cracking me up...

Therefore t_r = infinity

The universe does not compute.

Looks like the TEDO keep Tylean to lure Abie to them. She is supposed to show them how to create the Per'tnel. I think the prophecy or the ken of the Zurkpert or whereever the rules are written don't say that everyone must learn how to fashion their stone. They just have to do it on their own.

From Caffiend's chat log:
Abie thinks that the pictures the TEDO posted do not contain the temporal reference. Is she wrong? Or do we have to find that reference somewhere else?


Edit: TEDO was in chat just a second ago, Abie has driven them out again and is now in chat. Smile

chat log with Abie is up on the wiki

TEDO was just about to spill a secret about "her" (Abie I suppose, AUZ will fill in on this later). Abie's timing is once again raising suspicion.

We got off on a little tangent about space and time. How we didn't know that we are just 1-dimensional. It was funny, but otherwise kind of pointless.

Regarding the "records", Abie told us where the book was during the time the two pictures reference.
During the Duke's time, the book was with Tylean in the Jungles of Brazil.
During the formation of the Damavand - yup, Tylean formed the mountain, apparently for reasons not disclosed, but probably just to hide the book there - it was with Tylean at the mountain.

Probably most important of all, she said that the pictures must be "symbolic".

Finally, you learn why Wabonan should not say "janfaltrom" to the book, although it basically means "sorry". Laughing

 		Update on the TEDO blog with another pic titled "DwondFai.jpg" which y'all know is Where Am meaning The Book's location imo. Wonder if the title Partinge Tnemul refers to Abie, Destroyrt of Time.

 		Figured out Tylean's location:

<caffiend> im bored
<caffiend> tell me a story
<Israfel> Once upon a time, an intrepid Englishman was exploring Australia
<Israfel> his name was John Oxley
<Israfel> In his travels, he came upon a little valley where two rives intersected.
<Israfel> It was a lush green valley, and clouds rested peacefully between the hills.
<Israfel> He named it the Wellington Valley, after Arthur the first Duke of Wellesley
<Israfel> Soon a settlement named Wellington was founded there
<Israfel> Two hundred years later, a war between time-travelers broke out in the little valley, and everyone died.
<Israfel> The End.

It's in a valley surrounded by hills, thus the digital pic. Shot off an email to Abie

Edit: Further thoughts. As the TEDO have mentioned being "in the dark" or "in the shadows" a few times, it's possible that they mean the ancient Wellington Caves nearby. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_Caves

 		Coffee Sweet Yams, israfel070! More News is an email from Abie which is a Vigenere cipher:

wanted to post it asap though I can not work on a translation further myself atm (RW work)

Ok, before, I totally missed your point. Abie talked to me and pointed out the same thing. To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to TEDO's false words. Yes, this would be the Book's location if my guess is right.

Sure...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
All Novices: I now have the Tylean.
[?] you to the [variant of 'darkness'].
You all need to Tylean be warned now.
The ZurkDorsh needs with DorsLishn Novices.


Edited this to be very literal. The meaning is a little fuzzy to me.

 		Thanks. Was trying to edit my post but kept getting bumped out by y'alls...

I used "needs" for nestrum which doesn't make it less shocking but just curious why you used "wants" which is slightly different. Reckon we should leave translations, esp. one in progress, unspoilered for easy reffy for all. Back to RW for me.

from cipher email wrote:
..fe zurkdorsh nestrem cwn dorslishn lorshamem

ETA: Am now reading "lorshamen" as a verb which would translate: "The zurkdorsh needs to noviate (begin training) with Dorslishn (Anicient Ones)"

Update on the Tedo blog with an image called "Lore3.jpg" which is The Apple Genus illustration by the German naturalist M. B. Borkhausen.
