Well, I think the image of the seraphim may have come from "Petites Heures de Jean de Berry" as it looks quite similar (facial expression and flaming background aside). The image depicts the seraphim choir, who were the ones to sing "holy holy holy" on repeat. Both the image I'm talking about and some info on the choir is here: http://www.angel-ology.com/The_Seraphim_Choir.html
An ex-member of this group was Lucifer/Satan. Perhaps this is what is being indicated with the "flaming seraphim"?

I really don't think it's a Playfair cipher - breaking it up in to digraphs (pair the letters by two) would show that there is a double "A" towards the end - which wouldn't be possible in a Playfair encrypted message - and it obviously can't be the encryption key as it goes way beyond 25 characters...

I think we will have to look at it from a different direction...

I sent Thomas an email about this, but a weird comment appeared on his April 6th blog entry...

i'm not convinced it is OOG

if it was oog the PM would more likely have removed it and not said a thing since none of us had noticed it

but twice now he brings it up

it could be nonsense, or it could be an in game character which at any rate the character would be responding negatively to it

however i hope it wasnt in game...as the comment was a "tad" on the cheezy side

I've been following this kind of loosely, and this is my first solve. I deciphered note 3 after I noticed something in the new post.
