[ARTIFACT] Chapter 25
a chapter recovered with code from James

The team who confronted James (hooray! you all are great! I hope all survived!) got a pruvo code for him that leads to http://tinyurl.com/42sbxn

Mauroking transcribed it thus:


La Promeso

Ni kundividis multe el tio, kion ni scias kun vi.

Tamen ni ne kundividis cion.

La plej malgrandaj detaloj plej gravas.

Ni nun scias kiom distance la lasta labirinto devas esti disde la situo de la malferma ceremonio.

Ni scias kiom da cirkitoj konstrui.

Ni scias kie ni ses devos stari kiam alvena la tempo vojaĝij hejmen.

Ni scias al kiom malalta la nombro de paralelaj mondoj devos fali, kiom firme kunligitaj la ringo de ses devos estiĝi, antaŭ ne povos trapasi la pordon.

Ankaŭ vi devas scii ĉi tiujn finajn paĝojn, ni preparas fari nian propran vojaĝon hejmen. Sed antaŭ ol iri, ni ĵuris montri al vi la vojon.

Ni postlasas ion multe pli daŭraj ol ĉi tiuj paĝoj. En ilia formo kaj en ilia mesaĝo, ili rivelos la finajn instrukciojn.

Bonvolu konpreni ke ĉi tiujn finajn detalojn ni devas obskurigi. Ili ne estos tiom klaraj kiom tio kiujn ni prezentis tie ĉi en La Kodekso de la Perdita Ringo.

La intrukcioj kiujn ni provos konservi por vi estas tiom potencaj, ke ilia malkovro fare de neinifciitaj povus riski ĉion.

Ni kreos perditan ringon por via trovo. Kaj kiam vi trovas gin, vi konos la vojon.

So Shad0 and I took a crack at translating this after the whole event had died down and while we were chilling at Ariock's car. We had access to only our brains and some flashcards that I just happened to have, so it wasn't exact. We didn't do a direct translation, but we did get the gist of it. Here's the executive summary as we got it:

The Promise.

The smallest details are the most important.

We know how to construct the circuits. We know where we must start to get home. We know how low the number of worlds must fall...

Also you should know that we prepared the final pages for our journey home. But we won't be able to put everything into the final pages before we leave. We don't know everything, and the final details that we learn before we go home we're going to put in the LOST RING (sirens going off).

FINAL LINE IS THIS:
We leave the lost ring for your finding. And when you find it, you will know the way.

My french translation is available here if that helps : http://forums.findthelostring.com/thread/1782

There is only one mysterious word left : "neinifciitaj"

I have no clue of exactly what it means.

I'm also not getting neinifciitaj, though I try to take it apart different ways. . . .

The promise

We have shared a great part of what we know with you.

However, we have not shared all.

The smallest details are most important.

We now know how much distance the last labyrinth must be out of the site of the opening ceremony.

We know how many circuits to build.

We know where we six will have to stand when the time comes for the voyages home.

We know how low the number the parallel worlds must be, how much firmly joined the ring of the six will have to be, before being able to pass through the door.

Also you must know these final pages, we prepare to make our own return voyage home. But before there to go, we swore to show you the way.

We leave behind something much more durable than these pages. In their forms and their messages, they reveal the last instructions.

Be so kind as to understand that here final details we must obscure. They can't be as clear as those which we presented in this codex of the lost ring.

The instructions that we will try to preserve for you are so powerful, that discovery made in the manner (neinifciitaj) could risk everything,

We will create a lost ring for your finding. And when you find it, you will know the way.

It contains a typo: it should be neiniciitaj. ne-inici-itaj not-initiat-eds - people (plural) that have not been initiated.

So, that gives us :

The instructions that we will try to preserve for you are so powerful, that discovery made by uninitiated people could risk everything.

TheO's uninitiated ones Very Happy

I don't blame the codex typist for messing up on that word. Uniniated is almost impossible for me to type in English too. Wink

Sigh.
I'll go translate it. Unless it's already been done.

Thanks for the excellent translation.
This must refer to van Waalen's metal rings ...
