I think the code works as the alphabet in reverse. I'll get back to you all once I crack it.

Edit: Got it.

Top line: N through Z forward
Bottom line: M through A backwards


The message:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The operation in the borderland did not go as planned. The escaped Valkyrie defeated our men and got away. We will have to subdue them quickly or Lord Woden will surely have our heads.

I hope everything is going well with the surveillance of the target's counterpart on your end. We have to do something right.


I will contact OdinaNova and get the conversation.

Whoa! I just tried this as a half-gag.

http://eyesofwoden.atspace.com/surveillance.htm


Well that is certainly disconcerting.

EDIT: Clicking the link at the very top, for Hermod Thomasson gets you to a report about what he did during a specific day. In this report is a link to his blog as well as a link to a txt file of my conversation with him.

Son of EDIT: Taking the ginormous block of text from the source of the surveillance page and assuming it was a Base64 encryption, I got this.

From wikipedia on Huginn (thought) and Munin (memory), Odin's ravens:

Quote:

Old Norse:

Huginn ok Muninn fliúga hverian dag
iörmungrund yfir;
óomk ek of Huginn, at hann aptr ne komit,
þó siámk meirr um Muninn.

English:

The whole world wide, every day,
fly Hugin and Munin;
I worry lest Hugin should fall in flight,
yet more I fear for Munin.

Updates to the blog. Hermod made a new post, and our odinanova AIM name posted comments under the name (and yes, he has a blogger account) pennyworth. There was a brief argument. I just woke up so I'm not bothering to post the stuff in quotes, since there's so much of it.

Okay, I feel this deserves a second post so people will see it. Feel free to edit it into my previous post, mods, if you feel it should be done that way.

I was thinking, do we have any names of anyone involved in the Eyes? We have Woden, obviously, and Sigrun Riktor (I'm assuming) but it's uncertain if any of them are involved on THIS world/plane of existence/whatever. So it seemed like we would have to find both a username and a password for the members login.

Those of us that got the email may have overlooked something. I know I did, but I can't speak for anyone else. The person that sent the email signed it "Brother Eyrir" right? Brother is what the Eyes of Woden site calls the members of THIS world. So we may have a name.

Anybody heard anything? This thing seems to have stalled again.

I ran into this today, and read everything so far, I know a thing or 2 about norse mythology. I'd like to give you this link

http://www.sunnyway.com/runes/pronunciation.html#sowilop

And, I've been looking at the picture of Yggdrassil ath the Eyes of woden page. Notice that it has Odens traingulary sign, one eye, the horn and water coming from his mouth. Linking this:

Mimr drank the water with his mouth from that horn, and he let Odin drink it aswell, in exchange for his eye. The sign isn't really of value here but it's odins.

The next thing popped up in my head: entering Mimr as a username and then looking at SOL and JOY. You sayd it was a 6 WORD password. Notice SOL and JOY have 6 letters, looking them up in runes gives:
Sowilo Othala Laguz Jera Othala Jera

that didn't work, so I left out the spaces, which looks logical, there never officialy was a blank rune!
SowiloOthalaLaguzJeraOthalaJera

but again, nothing...

My last bit of info, notice that Sol's counterpart, Luna, isn't mentioned yet! (Sol = Sun Luna = Moon, but you'll all know that Razz )

No clue if this helps, now I'll just watch from the background, follow you guys, and if something pops up, I'll share it with you. Goodluck!

Did a litte bit of research, Eyrir also is:

[Icelandic, from Old Norse, money, probably from Latin aurum, gold.]

Hey Rason! Welcome to unfiction! I'd reccomend you register, that way you can edit your posts. Smile

It seems like the game has stalled (for the third time?) it's to bad this game has lots of potential. I'm not sure if its because of us or not, I think the last thing we were having trouble figuring out was the six word pass to put in the email subject to eyesofwodenSPLATgmail.com. If you get any responses I'd of course be more than eager to hear about it. Very Happy

New post at theyggdrasilreport! Very Happy

Guess the stall is on us. . .

Sorry for not posting in so long.

I've had a decent couple of weeks, without all this stuff to bother me. I'm back at home and I've been working hard at Heimdall. At first I was merely organising papers and the like, but then the CEO, Wilhelm Heimdall, asked me to tend to his personal library. The corporation primarily deals with construction, so finding a vast library of old Germanic and medieval texts was a pleasant surprise. We got around to discussing everything from Beowulf to the Volsunga Saga, and then he showed me several unique manuscripts that he has come across. He asked me to look at them and I was amazed. There were several abnormalities in the texts, which were in Old English, which I had never seen before. Indeed with the arrival of Viking invaders and the like some basic Old Norse words were introduced to the English language, but the amount here was far more than I had ever seen. Perhaps they originated in the Danelaw so there probably isn't much mystery here, but that doesn't make it any less interesting. In any case he was impressed by my display of knowledge on the subject and asked if I would like to review them again some time so I agreed, being the pseudo-philologist that I am.

In other news, I was nearly hit by a car on my way home. That was hardly pleasant.

Rason, You might be onto something with the money references. I went back and looked at what we have so far, and the only thing that we have not really paid (no pun intended) attention to is the word "tapped". It has many meanings, and I think we all assumed that it meant to be "accepted". However it also means "to ask for money".

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tapped <-- 10, Informal To ask (a person) for money.

Of course I don't see how that helps, but I thought I'd mention it since it ties in with your money findings.

Also, the Joy and Sol.htm pages that Esteed found are now replace with:
"The page you are looking for has been removed."

Assuming the logic of the membership page is correct: (I.E. - You get "Tapped" and THEN you send the Six word password), I don't believe that anyone has been "tapped" yet have they? On the other hand, if you e-mail them and it does not met the password then your e-mail will apparently be deleted. So we have to contact them in another manner to let them know we want membership.

Of the 7 web pages that display the runes, there are only 6 different Runes. Below are the web pages, my description of the Rune, the Rune name, and the Roman letter it equates to. Perhaps we have to put these in the correct order and that is the password?

Web page (My Description of Rune) [Rune Name] *Roman Letter*
http://theyggdrasilreport.atspace.com/theundoing.htm (Arrow Up or T) [Tiwaz] *T*
