kobrosti: You seem to be in good with OP, can you find out if he knows what the symbols mean on the logo? I think it's a good idea to see if he knows about the alphabet... If we can misdirect him without making him mad that would be good. If he doesn't know what the symbols mean maybe we don't either.... Yet...


I can ask it, yes, what symbols? Can you link me, because some things are still vague for me..
Can't realy follow sometimes:P

But if you tell me what to send, I'll do it!


Got a new e mail from him BTW
(you'll probably already know it, because I was asking basic stuff I guess...)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
me:I am working on it, to help you, I also have some other people who help me, and I try to help them.

How did they take your family to the other side? Or don't you know?
And the stone you posses, you say 'one' of the stones. Is there a second one? Or a third one?

I suggest you wait with your revenge! If i get more information it might be easier and safer to take TEDO out!

OP:They all have a stone each! That at least I've learned. They took my family to the other side using the stones. But I have to find the rift before I get there. Don't trust anyone else. They might be working for the TEDO. They might be trying to stop me. I have to stop him first.

 		Okay, huge email from TEDO, after asking about the Urk'Reja:

Quote:
You are correct. We DO NOT fear anything or anyone. But it seems that the Tylean and the Abie in your world did not teach you much history.
I did not think our histories were so different. Our time-areas are very close to one another.


Speakers have been in the world since Creation. After creation, there was much temporal energy left-over. Unorganised, this temporal energy would have been too chaotic and would have destroyed time. Time is naturally a chaotic entity. When it is folded into many dimensions (at least 10 at last count) it has a tendency to break down into a single point temporal construct again. So, the Creator appointed one of His creations to become the Maker of the Book. This Book would have the power to control the remaining temporal energy. The maker then instilled in humans the ability to control this energy by accessing the Book in various ways. Although all humans have the ability to some extent, there are some who are born with such a high ability, that they can be in mental contact with the Book to some extent. These Humans are called Speakers. Although all can become Speakers, the many years of study were always prohibitive. Natural Speakers grouped themselves together. Eventually there were many in that first group. They had differences of opinion. Two of the most prominent you must already know: The Urk'Pert and the Urk'Dorsh. As I understand it, in your world, their names are slightly different. The Urk'Pert wanted to "let events unfold", while they watched suffering and chaos and "recorded" them for posterity. Our ancestors, the Urk'Dorsh, took a different understanding. We believe that we have been given the knowledge and the skills to be able to influence events. To be able to bring Peace to this world and then to others. We will will not allow events to merely unfold. We will force them to end up in Peace. Ironically, this difference of thinking led to a war. A war which we won. Unfortunately, one of our generals (the one who calls himself Tylean) rebelled against us and stole the Book.


I assume that so far the story is similar to what you know. In our world, however, one of the other Tribes of Speakers allied itself to us. These are called the Urk'Reja. They have served us well over the years and they were instrumental in helping us regain the Book and helping us to fulfill its final Prophecy.


They have now turned against us, knowing that we are spread thin in this world, as well as in the other reality that we are trying to cleanse. They have decided to fight against us. They, in secret have fashioned themselves stones that they hope will grant them power like unto ours. Yet the Rej'tnel are no match for the Donar'tnel or the Per'tnel. We do not fear them, but the weary us. We do not want war. We want Peace, and we will do anything it takes to get it.


Bilvin


So, the Urk'Pert are the "other" equivalent of the Zurk'Pert (Speakers in our world), and the Urk'Dorsh are the "other" version of the Zurk'Dorsh (TEDO ancestors, also Speakers). Apparently, the Urk'Reja have their own stones, the Rej'tnel. Maybe it was a member of the Urk'Reja that was the "old man" OP met? The thing is, wouldn't there be an "our" world equivalent of that group, like the Zurk'Reja or something? Unless something happened in there that didn't here, to form that group.

And, after asking OP again what he can't decipher, he sent this:

Quote:
Oh, I forgot that you probably still were trying to decipher the code from the Eve from our world. Ha! The TEDO thought they could throw me off the scent with a set of incorrect coordinates! They did not know that the Old Man had already given me the correct one! Ha ha ha! Once I found the TEDO's lair in our world, I found the beacon that leads to the rift. The message is difficult to interpret. It has strange symbols on it. The old man did not show me how to solve the other symbols.


So, is he just being paranoid, or do we actually have the wrong coordinates? Btw I didn't say anything to him about what Eve gave us, and I can't remember if someone else did.

 		I see.... He's at the rift but the instruction are in "The Language". He wants us to give him the alphabet I bet.
As for the logo is OP saying we have a fake? So it's incorrect in someway? Thanks to the "Old Man" OP is one step ahead of us. Now what?

 		I also got another e-mail from OP

Quote:
I don't know where the stones are. I need to find the rift but I do not know how to solve the next clue. I would show you, but you might be working with them. I'm not too sure about you. Perhaps if you come to find me at the coordinates...Find the Eve of our world. She is back. I have seen her. She has the wrong map. She's at the Calf of Man trying to find a way to get a boat. But the TEDO will find her there. Get to her before they do, dispose of her and then you will have a stone. Then I will give you the real map so you can follow me.


EDIT:

I replied that I will do everything to gain his trust and he send me this back

Quote:
Perhaps you are to be trusted. Find me a way to translate the symbols in this language of theirs and I will give you my map.

 		He wants you to come to the Isle of Man? How can we convince him we are on on his side without outright going there? We need the "riddle" he speaks of. As for the TEDO we've been mislead, the logo is junk and now Eve is heading to those coordinates in the water to look for something, and the TEDO are probably going to spring a trap there.

Edit: He wants "The Alphabet" simple as that...

 		^Hm, interesting kobrosti. He at least trusts you some, I got this when I asked if he could send me a pic of the symbols:

Quote:
I don't trust you


Laughing

As for him wanting you to go to the Isle, He doesn't mean you really go there (I hope lol), like in RB TEDO wanted me and Blue to go to the Isle, and all they asked for "proof" was a couple pics from specific places, which we found online.

I also asked TEDO more about the Urk'Reja and their stone, got this:

Quote:
Like I said, perhaps the Tylean did not teach you much history. Your world and mine had the same number of Speaker Tribes. In both our worlds, our Tyleans were Urk'Dorsh Generals. They were instrumental in annihilating the other tribes. In our world, he spared the Urk'Reja because the made an alliance with us. In your world it seems that they were all exterminated.


The Rej'tnel are a rusty red colour. Pathetic if you ask me. Not bright as the sun like the Per'tnel or Dark as the night like the Donar'tnel. They are merely ordinary.

 		TEDO uploaded a new video btw;
linkie
(they say Eve has betrayed them and rest is hard to understand, something with getting her back to their world?)

So he wants the alphabet?
But wich one? there are 2..
And he wants it decyphered right? He wants 'me' to translate the symbols

EDIT:

he doesn't want me to go to the Island anymore.. OP just wants 'me' to translate the symbols

 		We need the puzzle at the rift, that's what we need. He needs the alphabet, I say he gives us the "riddle" then we solve it, and go from there...

 		This is what I hear in the video:

Quote:
Eve Philomels has betrayed us, as we knew she would. All the Dorshlin are now commanded to find her. She must be returned to our world, dead or alive.

 		Lying cheating TEDO and lying cheating Eve. TEDO gave her a false logo and Eve used us to "translate" it for her own gain. Now the trap is sprung and Eve is theirs.

The "beacon's clue" is the method to open the rift. He's at the beacon but doesn't know how to open it... Personally I'd rather get a look at the clue then give him the alphabet...

 		OP asked me for the alphabet too:

Quote:
Send me a way to translate their alphabet and I will trust you


But, I really don't think we should send it to him, at least not yet. The only thing he'll probably accompkish by going to the "other" world is getting himself captured by TEDO, or even killed.

Got this from TEDO about the stone and Eve:

Quote:
Yet it is not powerless. We think your Eve used one to escape back to your world. We know where our Eve is, as she still has your Eve's Donar'tnel. We think she may be allied with the Urk'Reja, but we don't know how or why. All the Lorsham will keep an eye out for her but if you know where to find her, we will stop the one of our Eve's patient's death. I assume you know they are all dying?

 		We'll never know if we do not send it to him do we:D

So where can I find pictures or links to the Beacon's clue..

I just need to send him the clue, then OP will try to solve it himself!

 		Story?
I do not know why, but I have really big troubles following this story.

So Eve (I still do not know if ThisEve or ThatEve) has the wrong coordinates.
Is this because the Logo is wrong or because we did not decode them the right way? From where does Eve know the coordinates from the Logo? From us?
BTW, how did ThisEve got to ThatWorld, or do I mix up thinsg again?

OPSmith has another code to decipher? Where does this code come from?

Perhaps someone can give a short explaination of what has happened in the last days.
... or better update the story so far on the wiki Wink
