 		Elder = chessboard.

Quote:
The bird associated with the month of Elder is the rook


And there is my reason why. A rook is a chess piece.

 		Good find, Forebringer. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure that everyone else had figured all of that out already, but I wanted to double check my assumptions.

The next step would be to start taking pictures of the trees. Has anyone taken any pictures yet, or do they plan to?

 		An email received today by "A friend".

Quote:
...Uncurtaining the night, I'd let dark glass
Hang all the furniture above the grass,
And how delightful when a fall of Snow
CoVered my glimpse of lawn and reached up so
As to make chair and bed exactly stand
Upon that snow, out in that crystal land...

...One idea among many... I write this final time to warn you of their plan, of which, ironically, we are all but pawns in play...
A friend.


Okay here's the info on the attached image.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The board in the image is from the maze at crystal palace. There is a copy of said image in "MMM - meeting images.zip" PICT0033.jpg and PICT0037.JPG.

The quote across the top is "kto nie pamieta historii skazany jest na jej ponowne przeżycie" which is "The one who does not remember history is bound to live through it again" according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Santayana_on_history.jpg
Also of note is that the person who said this is George Santayana. The reverse of Santayana is Anayatnas, the subject of the email and the name of the attached file. I think that this person is going to be important.

This is a copy of the newspaper seen in the image http://www.ric.edu/faculty/rpotter/iln-cpfire.jpg.

Obviously a warning about what is going to happen. "London's burning London's burning..."


The text is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
a section taken out of a poem by Vladimir Nabokov called Pale Fire. There is one thing that is bugging me, that is the capitalisation in the poem, especially V in CoVered.

I'll have another look at this stuff later though and see how it all links up.

 		S is capitalized in Snow followed by the V in covered. Thus, SV for Sergei.

Minor correction to the above, some letters are added in to the 'ALBION PREVAILS' statements as uppercase letters so:
i sv Will prevail vs is all Mine noW.

A quick search revealed that these are statistics for an orbital body, but I've been unable to figure out which one. I'm guessing that the subject, "63.1F", is some kind of designation for what he's referring to. I'll do a bit more searching, but since I'm at work right now, I may not be able to do much more until later.

The orbital data matches the data for the asteroid "Redqueen"

 		Hey everyone!

I thought I'd join in the fun over here. It seems the game is on a bit of a hold until we find those trees. So, here's a thought. Each tree has been matched with what is thought to be the correct treasure. If you have one of these trees near you, post the picture with the name of the treasure on this forum thread, regardless of whether you are the guardian of it. That way, the guardians can pick up the appropriate images from here and deliver them, in case they can't find the appropriate tree nearby.

I'll be doing this with the tree I have in my yard as soon as I can identify it... Embarassed

Not reassuring. We have until the 18/12/2011. I can't help with the trees, something has come up.

 		I've finally read through this thread. I'll try and find a tree for you guys.

Edit--Holy hell, less than a day to do so? Can someone please tell me which trees have been sent in so far?

 		I'm not sure what has been sent already, but I'll bring my birch tree (for coat if I'm not mistaken) into an afternoon photo shoot just in case.

Edit: Here's the picture from my phone.

If you can snap a close up of the leaves, I can try identifying it.

Edit 2: I decided to send it because of the deadline.

IN TIme you will understand that what I did was for everyone.
until then though, you will see that this darkness is imposed for only my benefit.

Regardless of your limited view, understand that - in 4 days, all will be returning to normal.
[Cardui's request, unfulfilled, does not bode well for the guardians though...]

I leave you with this simple question - not to be answered, for I do not care - but one to make you think on:
which would you choose never to see ever again - the sun or moon?

Everyone else would be able to see both - so the planet will not die or anything like that - you just would never be able to experience the sight of the planetary body [you'd still get benefits though, vitamins etc..]

Silver and gold come close to being fully out of balance...
The chapter draws slowly to a close? Perhaps - it all depends on those who can choose to listen or not over the yule period...

Sergei.
