Just got mine!! I'll scan it in later, but here is what I think the text says:

ET NOMINA ANGELORUM OMNIUM CAELESTIUM CADUCORUM QUE INTER VOS AMBULANTIUM.

Woo, got loads of text. We're gonna have to make a sentence out of this.

My dad and I think it says:

'And the name of the highest angel in Heaven, 'Caducorum', who moves among you.'

I think there is some other meaning behind 'caducorum' but there is no angel of that name. Google returns some results but latin translators give nothing. I have to go to school now, you people can work on this. Use the other pages too.

From all my google results Caducorum appears to be a greek or roman word.... Everything Im getting is about the roman army to.

Darkstar anyway we could get so pics...

Ok, my Latin is rusty, but here goes:

A caducus is a "thing which falls" "destined to fall" or "fallen." Caducorum is probably the genetive plural form, so "Of the things that fall/are destined to fall" or "of the fallen."

This was in the morning, so I couldn't scan, as I had school. I'll get a scan in a moment, gimme a chance. This post will be edited later.

Edit-

Here's the scan... someone needs to translate and make a sentence, I reckon it might give a new IRC channel or something.

Heh, my dad wrapped it in cling film so it wouldn't stick to the scanner.

ok, my latin's no good but i can try pulling apart the words Wink

from the first:

Darkstar · Decorated Joined: 07 Apr 2005 Posts: 256

Wintermute, im gonna agree with you here. I read my note as saying

'The highest angel which fell now walks among you'

Lucifer.

The shibboleth stuff does suggest a key, meaning another IRC channel. [/spec]

Edit- Hold on a minute... 'key' and 'keybearer' make me think of the time when Malik was forced to give up his guard by Mikhail, to let someone in Heaven. Perhaps this is referring to that incident...
