 With the previous clue, I misunderstand the use of the clue Falerin gave us. Was it just a Red Herring? And what the heck is Fuentidesconcidi's problem anyways. Maybe its something we will need in the future?

So according to all of which lordtomato had posted, The Mysterious Necromancer is back here? But wasn't he revealed to be Diviara or something like that?

Helpful and Constructive!


 @Burn: "Fuentidesconcidi" is a corruption of "fuente desconocida", which may mean -as I said previously- "unknown source", but also "unknown font". So Fal was giving us a clue: the message came from an undisclosed sender and was in an unknown alphabet (therefore we needed to decipher the alphabet: it was a substitution puzzle).

@Megaket: There have been -and probably there are right now- several Mysterious Necromancers. Diviara was one of them, but when his identity was revealed (and in several other occasions) he implied that the Mysterious Necromancer was an identity shared by several people (the "wearers of the Mantle").

Ah, thanks traveler.
Maybe I should go through the devourer saga again. For reminders and fun.

Also, what is the current puzzle to be solved?

 We've managed to solve all of the puzzles Fal has given us so far.

As to the Mysterious Necromancer, it has been more than implied that there is more than one:

quote:

ORIGINAL: Revelations

Falerin: You are aware that the mantle is being worn by another, then...
Diviara: I am unsurprised.
Galrick: You seem pretty calm.
Diviara: The station has always been both dynamic and contested. I was neither the first, nor will my successor be the last.
Galrick: Do you know who your successor IS, then?
Diviara: No. That's the point, isn't it? You never did know. You never CAN know.
Falerin: Thus the word ''mysterious''. I gather from evidence that there were times when there were more than one at once.
Diviara: Ha. Very good, Loremaster. Very clever.
Falerin: I will take that in the kind manner you surely intended.
Diviara: At any rate, it does not matter. I have moved on.

 I have returned and I shall attempt to catch up with all of the new mysteries which as Falerin points out, educates us in very big ways.
By the way Falerin, that quip you used on the forest and the tree, was really clever.

The courier who was carrying this message had been vampirized but not converted. He was near death even as he arrived off the coast of Deren. He seemed utterly mad. Going on about numeric proofs. I am called to mind certain numerical puzzles but this is neither the 23 enigma nor 42. Nor even the fact that 27 is a funny number. This is some sort of cipher of that I am certain but the logic is lost upon me.

Give it your all.

Okay. So there must be a difference between the bolded and unbolded numbers in terms of importance, unless that is a red herring.

I also find it curious that the bottom of the page is signed in arabic. My arabic is still slightly rusty. Maybe Mo knows what it means. It could be vital to the puzzle.

Numerology tends to lead to me think of Hex and Dec/Char codings, I'm going to try to seperate bolded from unbolded now and run translations.

Wish me luck! ;)

 The arabic translates to "Method". It can also be interpreted as any one of these.

1. style
2. manner
3. way
4. method
5. procedure
6. technique
7. mode
8. archaism
9. language
10. tone
11. flair
12. character
13. genre
14. strain
15. sort
16. pattern
17. stylization
18. regimen

Oh I get it! To solve the actual cipher text, you need to figure out what the formula bit is. So the Arabic means "method", and you have to use it.

It translates to "Method".(Thanks Google language tools!) These other meanings that pop up with it (method, procedure, technique) seem to suggest that the stuff below it is how you decode it.No idea what that is though, sorry.


@Falerin He dind't have his towel with him did he? Just goes to show folks, always carry a towel.

Edit:D'oh.

 I reckon the first step we have to take is deciphering what the formula means. My theory is that the bolded numbers are already one step ahead of the unbolded ones, as if you look at the example Falerin gives us, the unbolded one leads to the bolded one. This means that for the minute we should leave the bolded ones alone, and its probably some sort of mathematical swappiness, we should work out each unbolded number and what it leads to. Thus that will be the complete ciphertext.

 [13:59] <Vivi|AFKing> Okay, so for d(n) = n[mod(m-1)]
[13:59] <Vivi|AFKing> m-1 is a divisor of d(n)-n
[14:01] <Vivi|AFKing> And n != 0(modm-1) means d(n) is not already a divisor of m-1 at point n.
[14:01] <Vivi|AFKing> ...er, *m-1 is not already a divisor of d(n)
[14:02] <Vivi|AFKing> I think n and m represent the numerical value of each thing on the list, and its numerical position.
[14:02] <Vivi|AFKing> Not sure which is which though.

From IRC. This is my understanding of the mathematical formula we've been presented, and we're assuming the n := 0 on the second line (it's actually not := but rather three lines, but := is the only way I know to type it) to represent congruence for the time being.

Still working on what the difference is between the bolded and unbolded numbers.

Oh My! Help!. I am not a zoologist! I don't even like animals, except for Keesish of course! But he really isn't an animal, is he. Come to think of it, is he a he? Hmmm to many questions. But, I digress. This is the worst one yet! Please get right on it.



@Edit imageshack forum urls are horrible, do not use them.

 Alright, so we've discovered the "for all x in z" thing (with a small bit of hinting from Fal >.>), it means for all integers from 0 to positive infinity. Basically:

x >= 0; d(xn) = n

Now we just need to figure out m and n so we can apply d(n)

For Eldron's try the first letter of every animal. It makes a very distinctive pattern I think.
