EDIT:
The quote "Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink beneath the lake, The shadows lengthen" is from the book "The King in Yellow".


I wonder if 'Carcosa' has anything to do with this? Based on my knowledge of prose, it seems like the line "In Carcosa" follows the line found heading our new blog o' secrets. Perhaps it is left off for us to find? ((But maybe that's just an easy solution to get us off trail))

I haven't found anything pertaining to 'Carcosa' yet ((Though I did get quite sidetracked looking up 'Tartarus' on dear old Wiki' and ended up on a page for Japanese Shinto Shrines and sculptures found there @_@ I HIGHLY doubt that is relevant))

 		I watched all the videos and really couldn't make much out.

One video has a subtitle listed as Lailoken, info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lailoken

Another is title World Serpent, subtitle At the base of Yggdrasil, info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil

Not sure what to make of any of it yet.

 		Carcosa is a mythical city, possibly named after the medieval city of Carcassonne in southern France, whose Latin name was "Carcaso". (According to Wikipedia.) The city first appeared in Ambrose Bierce's 1891 short story, An Inhabitant of Carcosa. In 1895, it shows up in Chambers' The King in Yellow.

Later writers, including Lovecraft, also draw upon it, usually by way of Chambers.

 		[META?]
I am not sure if I accidentely found the PM or not, but all those videos are from "Peter W" (see http://de.video.yahoo.com/mypage/video/254313?s=254313), who is a Goth artist and a real person as far as I can see. So this seems for me OOG - but I am not completely sure.

So I assume there should be not many hints in those videos or in the texts assigned to them
[/META]

Some tweeds regarding the latest puzzle:
Quote:

thirdrealm In the dark and without a candle, it is often helpful to speak. The voice can help one find their way.

thirdrealm The candle extinguished, you grope in the dark, only to find the 3rd wall of the prison. The Yellow King still lies within.

thirdrealm There is one more key to be found. It calls you. Can you hear it?

AUZ505 @thirdrealm From where does it call? From the domain of the Yellow King?

thirdrealm @AUZ505 It calls from the doman of three, but echos in the walls of the Lair of theYellow King.


Have I already mentioned, that I am not very good in understanding those mystic, cryptic clues.

Also, a new post on the Yellow King blog, that for me does not reveal anything.

 		Somebody freed the king! I don't know who, but if you check out thirdrealm.org, the game is over. One of us apparently got the last key. Somebody want to claim that credit?

 		It was not me!
But I was so close (tried voice, sound, echo, ...) but have not looked into the source code. Sad

Nevertheless, it was fun.
