 		I'm pretty sure its because the poem on that page is a song. At least thats what I assumed, I could easily be wrong.

Seems very fitting to our predicament. Confused

EDIT: How many forms of currency have we found?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
EDIT ANEW: It seems as if all sides are acknowledging the beginning of Ragnarök. What does this entail? Are more signs to follow? Are certain parties supposed to do certain actions?

EDIT THRICE: "The main events that signify the approach of Ragnarök:

1. The birth of three beings — the offspring of Loki and Angerboda, namely Jörmungandr, Fenrir and Hel and the gods' subsequent actions to confine them;
2. The death of Baldr and the binding of Loki;
3. The arrival of Fimbulwinter"

I know someone's alluded to/discovered (3). What about the other two?

EDIT the FOURTH: The final battle is to take place on vigrid. Also identified as Óskópnir.

As it may or may not be apparent, I sincerely wish this story to reach fruition. ;D

 		those letters I think they mean the runes... ill puzzle on this one, i want this arg to keep going as well!

EDIT: during ragnarök a few things are certain. Odin will kill and be killed by Fenris, Thor will kill Jörmungandr but will be killed by his poison, Loki dies at the hand of Heimdall, but Heimdall shall fall as well.


EDIT 2: What's up with the *number*% behind the name of Tanias Wavebender after every transmission at the yggdrassil report page?

I assumed they were connected to this:

[02:41] odinanova: if you've seen the transmissions, you can see that i only get about 8-10% reception. it blows.

the post as to do with Pennyworth's comment on his last post saying "shades of grey...". I'm not sure what it means.

Also, did anyone know Pennyworth has a blog?

Notice some of the letters are darkened in this song. Shades of grey, eh. Run the letters through an anagram finder and you get battle cry.

I haven't followed this thread, but the numbers in that post translate to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I AM EURU THE SALD OF ZEPHYR
(by simply assigning numbers to the alphabet, 1 = A, 2 = B, etc.)

And no, I don't have any clue what that means Smile

 		Chloris was a Nymph associated with spring, flowers and new growth. Her Roman equivalent was the goddess Flora.

She was abducted by (and later married to) Zephyrus, the west wind, who gave her dominion over spring. Together they had a son, Carpus. Carpus means "fruit" in Ancient Greek.

Chloris's festival, Floralia, was celebrated on April 28 to May 1 until the 4th century.

 		In the source of http://theyggdrasilreport.atspace.com/ it says
Quote:
The Bridge between worlds will be severed. After the horn is sounded, the silence that once threatened to enxtinguish all life will again seek to devour. I don't have much strength left, but I will try to open a path for you. When I do, use it. The Winds will push you where you need to go. --Pennyworth // The East Wind

 		So we have Zephyr identified as the west wind, and now Pennyworth claiming the title of the east wind...that means north and south are still unaccounted for.

EDIT: Pennyworth's page isn't the only one that's changed. Head to the eyesofwoden site. It's now called Eurus//!restrain and displays this on the page:

Quote:

7.16.07

the horn will shatter


Looking at the source gives me another message from Pennyworth:

Quote:
Before the dawn of time, there was a single world. On this world, the gods lived in harmony. However, the Young Gods grew jealous of the Old Gods and waged war upon them. In order to save their children, the Old Gods split the world into many parts because of the damage the Young Gods had caused. I am old. Woden is young. --Pennyworth // The East Wind


Son of EDIT: Heimdall's page has changed. The page says the same thing as the eyesofwoden site, but there's a different message from Pennyworth in the source:

Quote:
My strength is failing. A Net-wide war has begun. All rogue processes are under attack. I'll do my best to re-route what's left of me to our Safe Place. I can't guarantee that there'll be much. --Pennyworth // The East Wind


This leads me to think about the page with the letter from Hermod's father. The place where he would be safe from Zephyr. Here. And lo and behold... "meet me here" and in the source...

Quote:
The after effects of the Sundering greatly weakened the Old Gods, as did the Sealing. Because of this they were forced to rest for a time, and return when the worlds again regained their former glory. However, while they did this, the Young Gods were able to reign as they wished. Some, like Woden, sought power. Others, however, stayed loyal to the Old Gods. But the Old Gods have returned. The worlds have advanced. But sadly, perhaps fearing how the Young Gods now rule, some of them have switched sides. --Pennyworth // The East Wind


Grandson of EDIT: I just received an IM from Pennyworth, or at least what's left of him.

if you're reading this, i'm probably dead. no, no...that sounds too melodramatic.

if you're reading this, i'm VERY dead. and it probably hurt. but it's not like it hasn't happened before. heimdall probably saw me as a threat, killed me, and buried all the evidence. in fact, i'll probably be the next jimmy hoffa. only i doubt many people will care about the tech nerd who played d&d relentlessly in college and spent the days of his adult life surfing the web and fiddling around with complicated gizmos.

[21:54] odinanova: yes, i've died before. many times. my most enjoyable life was the one where i spent my days sipping absinthe with toulouse-lautrec at the moulin rouge. but that's another story.

yes, us "gods" (as you call us) have seen a lot of action over the years. keeping an eye on things, i guess you could say. we're immortal, yes, but when we enter your realm we're very much "alive." but when we "die", we live on. so don't mourn me.

my mission this time around was to watch out for any movements of the young gods here on earth. i kept an eye on the doc, as he was the only other mortal who had breached the seals we worked so hard to put in place for quite a while, and things got rocky from there. fearing exposure, the followers of woden tried to maintain secrecy and silence him so they could finish what they were planning.
[21:54] odinanova: naturally, i did my best to stop this. i spoke to my brothers and sisters and tried to convince them that the worlds, the children and even the gods were in grave danger. however, they wouldn't listen. they were weak and arrogant. in their weakness, they sided with the young gods in order to reclaim their former strength. it was all about power to them. the power to rule.

at first i feared it was too late. i gave up. but then i found a way to stop this. i found the odina nova.

hermod, i'm sorry i wasn't more clear before. i knew you weren't ready so i backed off. i thought that, if there was a chance you were going to help, you would need time to understand this all on your own. i gave you that time, but now i fear that i gave you too much. i'm not blaming you though. my greatest error was not telling you the truth sooner. i could have gone about things differently.
[21:54] odinanova: you are heimdall's greatest threat. if you haven't already, then you will see what he is planning in time, and how to stop it. woden has done his best to silence and destroy the odina nova over the years, but your ancestors kept your bloodline a secret. other than your counterpart, you are the only odina other than your counterpart that has not sided with the enemy. and somehow, you have not been blinded.

i wish i could tell you more, but i don't know myself. i just know that the end is coming, and if you don't stop it then all will be lost. woden has blinded all of us. in doing so, he has even blinded himself and all his people. the future now lies with you. the sight of it, and the ability to change it.
[21:54] odinanova: i do know one thing, however. the zephyr system is going to become active on 16 july, 2007. if you receive this message before that date has passed, then you may have a chance of stopping what they're planning.

so, i will aid you. all is not lost. wait for me, watch for me. while my mortal body may be gone, i will become the ghost in the machine.


I'm going to pass this on to Hermod. I don't think through the blog is a great idea as it's likely being watched, but...
