Indeed Gregorian like chant... Enhanced the page a bit.

Okay this looks like something definitely equates to the general themes:

Looking at the puzzle and the pieces but so far not making sense to me. I'll continue to try and connect the dots.

Meanwhile, I asked Qadhos if B would be able to take possession of EC's body now she's out cold. Got the following reply:

So they are going to do a Fringe experiment on her...I don't envy the agent involved.

Search for Valdemar.

YouTube trailer looks good.

Just wanted to throw my thoughts into the mix, as at the moment, thoughts are all I have.. :/

No apologies for stating the obvious here or covering anything that has gone before;


From the initial clues we have Canterbury Cathedral and the seal of Valdemar II, with a quote from the very first clue to this episode (and confucious), "Study the past if you would define the future". From the clue on QADHOS we have 'The Key' hyperlink which leads us to pic drejl posted above.

The picture is an apparently randomly placed list of the passwords/keywords we've used for the c1-c8 solves so far, on top of what appears to me to be a recently transposed Gregorian Chant (five line stave, round notes - as opposed to what seems to be traditional four line stave, square notes), most of the words (as the picture appears to be cropped) I think are "mors et saecula semper in manu eius sunt omnia, uita gaudium lux pax potestas gloria laus honor. Adiuuet, protegat, libere"

The keywords on 'TheKey' themselves have bolded letters, which only appear in the words from the first four solves, and where the word is longer than two letters, the bold one is the 3rd letter in every case. There is also a space between the R and A of RA, which seems out of place to me.

There are possible links (as most already posted) to;

Dr Who - Tomb of Valdemar - Key to Time
Gregorian - Lunar Calendar (linking back to kick-off clue)
Valdemar (film) - Lovecraft - Dreamlands (of course)
The Facts in the case of M. Valdemar - E. A. Poe - Where they communicate with a deceased body before it turns into a putrescent mess (nice).

but none of the above obviously connect with our keywords/bolded letters (at least in my mind). I'm no further than this with this one at the moment.. :/


Tex...

ETA: just a fwiw, studying the letters from Eschantra, as Seadevil mentioned earlier re Lovecraft's Dreamquest, I enjoyed the paragraph in p1-epy (clue five letter) attached below, which raises an eyebrow to The Statement of Randolph Carter, these items being what Harley Warren carried as he entered the crypt on the night of his 'disappearance'

[Seadevil4]

Some thoughts I've had:

Clues in Clue 9 point to a Date or Time. Exception to the rule is Canterbury Cathedral.

Bolded Letters to be used in a substitution code of some sort, possibly a date shift.

No luck yet.

Finished reading Through Gates of the Silver Key, the book which Eleanor found is a definite must when using the Silver Key. Maybe Bobby is after the book.

Probably nothing but... The bold letters can be rearranged to Riksmal

[migisi]

= North Island, San Diego CA
and the song = Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World

If I'm stating the obvious and you've already traveled this alleyway please feel to have a beer on me

Okay based upon on the latin text of the music we get the:

Got a bit of a hint from Qadhos when I e-mail them about the Gregorian-Lunar Conversian table:

Err not sure where this timeline comes from:
