 		So the video clip is interesting. Woman in a cloak, I'm betting an exact match to the one he found in his attic. Also, blue bar....I'm assuming indicates the blue part of the spectrum. I'm trying to figure out what the obvious film distortion may indicate.

 		For those that missed it. We now know that Will will be "Brought to his knees by each pillar", before the Fourth "Descends upon him".

It turns our Will is actually a very important part of all this, much more so that we thought to begin with. So expect more videos and strange goings on with Will.

 		Will have an analysis of the chat a little later (making sure I don't miss anything).

That IS fascinating. I thought the tweets were a little odd, his head hurting, then him falling asleep. I think he was pretty lucky, Blue Pillar is life/death, but I guess they can't kill him yet before the Fourth sees him.

I've been wondering something. As I continue to study and understand the path, I keep coming back to the man in the tower. In the story, the man gains followers through flattery and clever speech, neither of which hint to truth. He gains absolute control of his followers until they ask him to lead them to safe place, because they believe they are in danger. He leads them into the forest and eventually to the village with the tower. Where he secludes himself for months until he convinces the followers that have not left him that they have to flee, after he ascends the tower and understands everything. So he leads them into the forest where they become lost and turn on him, and he survives. And this happens over and over again, he continues to gather followers and they continue to turn on him.


But the man who is scorned becomes the man who is empowered. So through the scorn of his enemies, he gains strength. Through the deaths of his followers, he gains this scorn. At least, I assume that those who betray him die, as none have successfully stopped him. They all fail. We never see if he is merciful or not, we just know that he understands everything. Does that mean that he understands how to extend his influence around the world? This makes him a villain, does it not? If he uses the scorn of others to find power and influence,

I suppose what I'm getting at is that is it fair to truly call him scorned if he understood everything? That means he brought all the hate felt for him on himself in order to gain the power he finds at the end of the story, doesn't it? I don't understand if I am supposed to trust the man or if I am supposed to oppose him.

[I don't trust him. Anyone willing to sacrfice life for power must be evil, correct?]

The others have talked about their pillars, most notably their life pillar. In them, they all hear of the man and how his followers died. In mine, however, I ascended the tower and saw all those crawling from the ruins around me, coming to kill me. Is this because I am too reckless? I don't believe that I saw the same thing that the man saw, at least I don't believe I did. But what the man saw still confuses me. What he understood still confuses me.

[I have heard what you said to the others. There has to be a way to prevent the deaths. Obviously a prophecy of death is inevitable, all things die, but there must be a way to delay it for a very long time, right?]

 		Kay, so:

Quote:
The Blue Pillar
Female, the first to face Will. This is the first trial, there will be two others, then the Fourth. "he will meet each of the three Pillars, and they will bring him to his knees"

Will
Is special. The church has been watching him for a while, though he CAN NOT know he is special. It will disrupt the prophesy. Ore says at first "they" (the church) has known about him, then corrects himself with "we". Will doesn't have a full Paromnetiara, he has the prohpesy, "his is a prophecy etched in stone from the dawn". When Mora's in complete, the Fourth will come to pass, which seems to be Will's. The chrystal beast will devour his soul into the world beyond ("the spectrum assumes the world beyond is death").

Mora/Lizzy
Is also special. We're working on her Paromnetiara. Her's is Death (the Fourth passes them out as he sees fit, not due to church position). Hers will come to pass, soon. Ore has one too, which ends with his death. Hopefully our Blue has a happier one. You can't avoid the ending (death) but you can draw it out. Each of the paromnetiaraet features part of the three real pillars (death, madness, corruption), hers is centered in death, Ore's just features it. Since he has fallen from the church and seemingly turned against it, perhaps his centers around corruption, leaving Blue with maddness?

Us
The entirety of the second generation will be introuduced to the first when the third section is filled. We have 7, so we need 2 more.

The Fourth
There was some question if Ore was stronger than the Fourth, but then he was sung his Paromnetiara, which started with his fall from the church (corruption)


If I missed anything important, please, let me know.

 		Ore's Message
I'll upload the whole chat log, but near the end of our chat Ore said he had a message to send, which I think should be highlighted here.

Quote:
1:01:20 AM ore: you are distracting me again from my message
1:01:31 AM fora: Which is?
1:01:35 AM ore: Will will obtain his Fate
1:01:41 AM ore: It will be the Fourth Fate
1:01:54 AM fora: When he meets all three pillars?
1:02:01 AM Blue: that when mora's is complete?
1:02:11 AM ore: He will be met first by Death,
1:02:15 AM ore: Second by Madness,
1:02:20 AM ore: Third by Corruption
1:02:23 AM fora: All in the same place?
1:02:32 AM ore: Then the Fourth will descend upon him,
1:02:48 AM Blue: hmm
1:02:57 AM Blue: what is the fourth?
1:03:03 AM Blue: the Crystalline Lord?
1:03:12 AM ore: And He will deliver his soul
1:03:23 AM ore: Into the world beyond
1:03:29 AM fora: So that ends badly for Will?
1:03:36 AM ore: thus ends the prophecy
1:04:00 AM ore: the spectrum assumes the world beyond is death
1:04:20 AM fora: Why do the church preach life.joy.purity
1:04:32 AM fora: And why do you say death.madness.corruption?
1:04:51 AM ore: they preach joy, purity, and life to gain followers
1:05:02 AM Blue: but the truth is the opposite
1:05:06 AM Blue: like a mirror
1:05:25 AM ore: they keep the facade up to all except for the select few that are near to the Glass Beast
1:05:34 AM fora: Like you?
1:05:39 AM ore: like me
1:05:46 AM fora: And surely you are the fifth pillar?
1:05:54 AM fora: As white are you not greater than the fourth?
1:06:11 AM ore: there was some question as to that
1:06:17 AM ore: before my Paromnetiara was given
1:06:32 AM ore: the Fourth sang it to me to prove he was the more powerful
1:06:52 AM Blue: but you are more powerful than him?
1:07:06 AM ore: part of my Paromnetiara has come to pass already
1:07:13 AM ore: thus, i am no longer
1:07:13 AM Blue: which part?
1:07:56 AM ore: it was the first of the third verse
1:08:23 AM Blue: corruption?
1:09:25 AM ore: yes, the first of the fulfilled was corruption
1:09:34 AM ore: but i have spoken too much already
1:09:41 AM Blue: they've messaged me back
1:09:42 AM fora: Corruption of your powers?
1:09:50 AM Blue: ore
1:09:57 AM ore: Fora, yes
[...]
1:10:14 AM fora: Is this why you fight the church now?
[...]
1:10:23 AM fora: Because they made you fall?
1:10:44 AM ore: i already knew they worked for ill before i received my Fate

 		U-um, I'm really nervous, but hi everybody. Very Happy

I just found out what ARGs were a few days ago, so this would be my first one ever, but I'd like to participate in any way I can!

If you'd like, I can send off an e-mail to the GH people and get my pillars (I think I read a page or so back that there were still people needed, but if those have been filled already that's fine), or I can help with deciphering Nimpik or, well, anything really.

And, er, forgive me if I do something stupid. I'm new to this stuff. Smile

 		Will's post
http://www.glassheaven.org/7-30-11.html

So the note Ore left him reads:

When the time comes,
you and you alone will
determine the outcome.
Stay safe.

"Tell me a story"
"Nabio aja e kurnut"


The following is my Twitter chat with Will, after we got the letter:

me: Thanks for posting. It's a bit mysterious: "Tell me a story". Taught us the Nimpik for "me", though :)
him: How does that help? :P
me: LOL dunno :P Who's supposed to tell a story? You? We? Guess we gotta sleep on it.
him: Are the quotes important?
me: "Tell me a story" | "Nabio aja e kurnut". *still thinking*

So my question is. WTH is this? The only thing that comes to my mind is the Stories we've been compiling. And that the quotes indicate it is not Ore saying that, but he's (duh) quoting someone else.

Ideas?
