But is the symbol itself the prism?

Or is the prism represented as the point where the light splits?

And why would the white beam or pillar be seemingly against the church, surely it is the whole, the combination of all the other parts?

The codes in letter 3

This is what I got (starting from the left and rotating clockwise):

THE GLASS BEAST

PRISM

THE PRISTINE FIEND

So the prism is the glass beast, the pristine fiend?

(will start working on the new codes, see if I can find something)

I take it as the whole symbol is called the prism and I'm assuming that the white pillar - having gone through the whole process already and possibly attained purity hence the white - has seen through the lies of the cult and is trying to warn us of the dangers that lie within?

They are speaking too quietly for you to make out most of the words, but you can make out "truth," "do not need him," and "prism."

The light from the fire dances along the columns and the people. Silence reigns for a few moments.

Then, they all turn and look at you at once, lightning quick. You did not notice it before, but there are the same number of knives around the fire with tips pointing to the center of the flame as there are people.
careful, you can lose this one
Do you run or see what they do?


Welp. What to do?

The Crystalline Lord referred to by the church several times could well be the prism as well.

And the Glass Heaven itself probably has something to do with it.

EDIT: It appears we messed that one up chance :S
As for what to do ... I have no idea :S

They each pick up their knives and advance after you quickly. You run inside a ruined tower and begin to climb the steps. Some of them crumble underneath you, but you skip past them. Once at the top, you see the entirety of the dunes. There are many more ruins like the ones you are in, and they all have a flickering light coming from them. The dunes are inhospitable, not just because of the lack of water, but the people in black that will no doubt cut you down if you approach them.

You hurriedly crumble the stairs at the top so they cannot get to you. They shout and scream in the strange language, their voices being heard across the dunes. The flickering fires of the ruins all around go out, and people begin pouring out of them, all running towards you.

Unfortunately, you took a gamble and lost because of it. Nevertheless, you learned the lesson of not taking unnecessary risks, so I will bestow upon you the Blue Pillar of Life. You should now ask for your next task.


I passed. Kind of.

Argh! Being in a timezone completely opposite from you guys drives me mad! So much to catch up on every morning Laughing

Looks like everything seems to be progressing swimmingly though! I have the alphabet so far written down (along with ones that we only guessed at) so once I've cross-referenced the table I will see if there's any more to add.

Dear Sir or Madame,

I received your flyer, could you please tell me more about the church?


Thank you for your time.

Oh man, that blows. But you're the man on the Tower. I would pursue this line of questioning. Be as annoying as possible.
