 		[TRAILHEAD] Black Dawn
Late last night, a few of my friends received text messages from another of their friend's. There was a man outside his house, and eventually that man took him. Here is a summary of what happened:

At approximately 11:00 PM EST, people began to gather on TheUnhealing's lawn. Weird people, in hoods. Eventually they all cleared off until just one was left, and then Un saw him vanish. He shortly thereafter reported that someone was inside the house, and then someone else took over his phone. They have Un. They sent the following text message:
ETH GIHTN SI TSEKARD. TUSJ OREBF HET WAND
Which can be translated to:
THE NIGHT IS DARKEST. JUST BEFOR THE DAWN
(I guess Harbringer made a wee typo, or else this was intentional perhaps? Thought it might be worthy of note.)
What we know so far:
The person texting us - Vi and I - calls himself Harbringer.
He is a part of a group known as Black Dawn.
They worship an ancient being called Kalthu and "[their] only wish is to see him among [them] again. He can bring peace no govement can."
They can apparently vanish into thin air at will.
He seeks to "help Un achieve a higher power". Translation, he intends to kill him. The higher power bit is supposed to be through death and rebirth.
He says we should be allowed to speak to Un one last time when they reach the Sanctum, which is "in the bowels of [our] world".

They last instruction one of them was given was to tell others they (the black dawn) are coming, so she asked me to post this.

 		This looks neat, but MAN the text transcripts are a lot to read. The way it's formatted doesn't help much either. :/ The plot seems interesting so far though, if a bit cliche.

EDIT:
Had time to go back and re-read. I don't really see any puzzles or things to do yet. Just seems like a waiting game so far. Any other people want to get involved?

 		You know, if I had had any sense.. like AT ALL... I would have posted on here... Oh dear.
In any case. Center reporting for duty! Nice to meet you guys.


EDIT: Well, now it won't LET me post, so guess I'll just go with editing.
I'm a player, not a character, just as in the dark as you are about all this.
EDIT2: I just realized how stupid idiotic the second bit sounded. >.< Anyways, so just to be clear: I am not involved in the making of the game. I knew Un before this, met him through another ARG, which is why he had my number to text me. Vi and I set up the website and everything because Harbringer asked us to.

 		Center, I'm pretty sure you can't post on here if you're part of the game, judging by your posts on the forum. It's against the rules. Just don't want ya'll to get in trouble. Crying or Very sad


No one else? I'll give it a few days I suppose. I'm in, regardless. Thought I'm not quite sure what our role is.
