4. The Search For Magiq: Peering Arts

Ah thanks! But neither of those worked

Also just tried, no luck
Element then house eg tides purpose
tpoctrwcleah
Element the guild eg tides ebenguard
teofttwblwag
And the various sensible capitalisation of element or guild or both…

Hmmm I doubt either of those will work as it’s just random letters, in the past it’s always been a word

Agreed, but didn’t see the harm in trying :confused:
Anyone spotted any sneaky riddles lying around unsolved?

Not always. Remember the Minnying rhyme scheme? :cjheart:

Oh heck why’d you have to go remind me of that nightmare :joy:

Just gonna spout this off and see if it actually leads somewhere.
So to me to Keyhole looks like an eye. The only eye I can connect that to would be the Oracular eye. Maybe the passcode has something to do with that? Which is also where Ascender started his journey after he left the mounties

Huh you’re not wrong it does have a resemblance to the Oracular Eye

EDIT: I tried illumination with no luck

Maybe we should contact Eaves and ask him if he knows anything that might help?

Have any of the previous password puzzles ever been case-sensitive?

8 Likes

I do not believe they have been case sensitive as a rule.

Wait do we know who Ascenders daughter is? As most people use a loved ones name as their password

I tried AlisonB. I don’t think we know her real name.

I suppose we could ask eaves to ask her. But we might kill him in the reply for a random guess.

Edit: I DO think you are on a decent track though there, Rimor. If this password is a kinda of ‘unintentional loophole’ in the spell that Ascender added, then using things from his story would be key.

Edit 2: For the record this is probably where AlisonB got her username. I tried AlisonBouchard with no luck.

I read Ascenders last message again and I just feel like something important was cut off at the end

I thought the same thing, Rimor.

tried these to no avail:
notthesilver
monarchmanor
age of magiq
abetterworld
peerelements
thecollector
newjoradians
newathenaeum

or from the runes:
(light-exploration/aether-humanity/ore-creation/tides-purpose/thought-reflection/wilds-change)
leahoctptrwc - order of runes
tpoctrwcleah - order received
ahoctptrwcle - order from top of chronocompass
plus each again with the order reversed or element-house inverted

What’s throwing me off in terms of imagery is that the new rune has 8 staves/16 points, which doesn’t fit in the usual 3-6-12 pattern that seems so consistent otherwise and makes it hard to try and line up the elemental runes in a cohesive way

I feel like the password is likely relate to the guide in some way since that’s where it showed up.

This is an excellent point! We also tend to get new challenges after we’ve learned something important.
And the rune looks a bit like a Venn diagram…
So, we know the magiq guide is the arbitrator now, right? We know the veil is getting denser and closing people out… Violently. We have all six elemental symbols… Where do these things coincide? What do they say as a whole?

Overlayed the ‘eye’ over the Guide for Magiq, pulled the letters, and ran it through a word finder/unscrambler. No luck so far, but I’m going to try a different dictionary or two before I call it quits.
