PART TWO

PAGES: each of these six lands hides an elemental orb. the spoken words of resting beings shall guide the curious one.

knowing how the lands connect is vital to revealing the essences. omit the land of beginning.

the atlas contains all information on the interior of the lands in this realm.

a dormant being rests in the deep. somewhere far, far below the chin. r/ur u/lu l/rd

ESSENCE HUNT:

PRECIPICE mine own essence lieth beyond the broken path. Celestial Orb

TOWER mine own essence resideth atop the tidiest o' the trio. Temporal Orb

CALDERA mine own essence is amongst the watchful quartet. within the one that rests. Scorched Orb

SUBTERRANE mine own essence rests in the nose. Abyssal Orb

LAKE mine own essence lieth where Up is. Oceanic Orb

TREETOPS mine own essence can be found above the hidden words. words written below and behind. Terrene Orb

The Glyphs of Origin... Show me their true meaning...

Origin's Glyphs tell a tale. Time brought about the earth, a sea to put out a fire, and a sky to fill a great void. u/lu l/lu r/rd l/dl r/ur d/ur time r/rd earth l/lu sea l/dl fire r/ur sky u/lu void d/ur

THE LANGUAGE

Substitution cipher. Glyphs are flipped vertically and border lines inverted for letters. Vowels are encoded differently from consonants: after inversion, they take the form of sequential multiples of five (i.e. 0, 5, 10, 15, 20.) Consonants are mapped to the remaining numbers in sequential order.

PART THREE

Dialogue from moon:

So we meet again, dreamwalker... I shall reveal a path to the Truth of this realm. Below Origin's center, relay its own meaning there.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Everything seems to be flipped vertically in GENESIS zone. This appears to include number glyphs! They now count counter-clockwise instead of clockwise.
