Secrets of the DoF Carpets Revealed

[ElnAckom]

Yes, I'm a little nuts, and yes, this is 50% tongue-in-cheek... I wanted to know what the carpet says. I noticed some time ago that the inscriptions woven into it was written in at least one runic language, and that the Obelisk of The Law appeared to be written in the same runic language. Closer examination revealed that some of the carpet and all of the Obelisk of The Law were written in what I think is Druzaic. (The font used is "MagicRunes.") The other half of the carpet is written in "EvilRunes," probably Chaostongue or Words of Shade.<img src="http://www.thefallenlegion.org/sespics/language1.jpg">Closer examination of the carpet revealed the following translations:<img src="http://www.thefallenlegion.org/sespics/language2.jpg">The seemingly random runes in the blue (good) field and red (evil) field are a little cryptic. I tried running them through anagram filters separately and together.The two sets of letters are PEYKKAXHRIHZ for the evil field and EXXTIOVZRJM for the good field. The only anagram that hit was for the evil field: HAZY PC EX KIRK. I'm assuming this is garbage and irrelevant, unless one of the carpet graphic designers has a fuzzy computer and now holds a grudge against the Captain of the Enterprise...Just some fun stuff. I know I get a huge kick out of this sort of thing!

<hr size="2" width="100%"> The two sets of letters are PEYKKAXHRIHZ for the evil field and EXXTIOVZRJM for the good field. <hr size="2" width="100%"> What if EXXT = GOOD? Maybe the letters are scrambled. They may have used reverse character frequency or something. <div></div>

[Dragonsviperz]

Thats pretty funny stuff there.

[Pahya]

<DIV>Well done! I never even noticed that there were runes there, Tunare bless SOE's artists and their attention to detail </DIV>

[Thax]

Very cool.  I'm pretty sure that's the language of shadowed men though, not chaos.  In-game, chaos tongue is normal letters, just not what they would normally correspond to.

[Buckelnase]

Whow, that's amazing - both the detail and that people actually care for finding them out. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

well done :smileyhappy:

<DIV>Oh wow... That's a great one ... Now that I call "detail"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Thicket Tundrabog]

[Jonaroth]

holy crap that is amazing <div></div>

[Riversideblues]

wow, 100 points to the OP that's pretty coolbut where'd you find the translation?<div></div>

[Guy De Alsace]

Da Vinci Code....Opus Dei has flying carpets too... <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span> <div></div>

[ElnAckom]

In response to the question "where did you get the translation," both graphics are original. The runes simply correspond to alphabets in the Common (English) language. The two font files are in your EQ2/UI/fonts folder.<div></div>

sweet post thats awsome props to op

[FlintAH]

The draconic deflector also has runes.<div></div>

[Jaargen]

Interesting that the day is evil, and the night is good.  Yes they are light and dark, but the suns and moons are symbols of day and night.  I am guessing they see the punishing sun and evil, and the cool nights as good.  However, with little foliation, all night would bring a quick freeze, and all day would scorch everything in no time.  As such, day and night are ballanced or else nothing would survive.

[Krontak]

Maybe your onto something greater.  Maybe you've stumbled onto a clue to the key to solving the game and becoming Lord of Norrath?  Doubt it but it would be cool if SOE did have some super secretive totally uber quests out there only achievable by a few and known to but a handful of developers so info didn't get leaked unfairly.  I'd definitely keep my eyes peeled for anything peculiar.

[ElnAckom]

Perhaps I already know of them. Or have completed them. Perhaps this is a calculated leak to spur you to think precisely that. Perhaps I already AM the Lady of Norrath... or perhaps... I am a ghost... or perhaps... YOU are...Have you found the hidden font yet? Have you read all of the clues on all of the tables... Is the Tarton's Wheel quest really a quest for the item... or a roadmap to the other clues? Is the Obelisk of Lost souls a maze... or a map? Or... am I hypothesizing? Hmm.../evilgrin<div></div>

[SlashnGut]

<DIV>I did the same thing trying to figure it out but nothing makes sense. I even tried pulling anagrams in different languages but again nothing makes sense. Is it possible that it may be simply the first letter of each section of one of the anagrams (or 2nd, 3rd etc) that needs to be looked at to reveal what is being said? Just a thought on another possible way of looking at it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sorry - quote didn't come in - This was in response to the anagram list that OP posted.</DIV><p>Message Edited by SlashnGut on <span class=date_text>05-20-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:07 AM</span>

actualy the seemingly random runes are groped in 12 different spaces, now im gonna throw a randomish idea out there and say they are the first letters or symbols relating to star constelations in norrathian lore/legend. alternativly, the 12 zones could be zodiacal, or relating to the months.<div></div>

Huge apologies for the delay on this. Many things (good things for a change) happening professionally for me ATM. I know I've seen the runes on the shield before, but cannot find a reference / codex presently, so this is a real challenge! Anyone have a higher resolution photo of the portal for examination? Additionally, any additional shots of this shield?Thanks!<div></div>

After inspecting the Nimbus Cloud station rings in Bonemire, which are identical to the posted portal graphic, and comparing it to every language resource I have, I am unable to find any correlation between the languages spoken by known races and the symbols on the portal ring. I'll keep at it, but my preliminary determination after exhaustive reading is that this is going to remain untranslated for the time being.Also have a request from Lore forum for translation of a very large piece of text from the Obelisk of Lost Souls, so I'll be doing a lot of work tonight and will post findings.<div></div>

Several easy ones, some of which you likely have in your home. The frame appears generic, though I haven't compared to an actual "Qeynos" by Brushwuttle. My Nagafen portrait, as well as several others, all feature the same brass plate. Perhaps it's a tariff tag for importing or the sale of handcraft goods in the city? /shrug.

The saddest one to date. Truly sad. I'm a little disappointed, designer folk. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> LOL I'm glad I have a sense of humor! This is a standard set of papers used throughout the game. I have a set in my house from a quest, this image is a Taskmaster's desk. The language is Common human... but I'm from Freeport, so of course, that makes it Lucanic!<img src="http://www.thefallenlegion.org/sespics/frame3.jpg">Interpolating a few pixels where they aren't quite clear, I believe the finished product is:"This is an additional case of irrelevant text. Please stop readding it. It really isn't worth your time. I wish I had something interesting to type here. Random gibberish will have to do."Interesting that "irrelevant" is spelled correctly, but "reading" isn't. I'm tempted to come up with my own set of translatable materials that isn't random gibberish, but I'm getting requests for translation resources, so I'd better get cracking on those instead.

For the carpet, have you ever tried using the 'random' letters in the outside portions to spell out the rune names from DoF for the Peacock quest..? <div></div>

[ElnAckom]

Known runes include Ahk, Duak, Hek, Kan, Lect, Orus, Phar, Tal, and Zoda. I see no immediate correlation. Interesting thought though!

[Jaale]

<P>You can hang the shield on something off the roof and see what it say's on the back clearly. I don't have a screenie though.

There's also: -Arbo -Adla -Kom -Herk -Tumek -Tek -Ovu -Hal -Tol They're all from the Peacock quest. It was just a guess -- looking back now, I see there are x's on the carpet, and have no idea how those would fit in.. <div></div>

As I am playing the game with the lowest resolution, I missed all those tidbits, fun facts and lore that can be found in the graphics of eq2. Now I want to upgrade my computer to be able to turn on high quality and go hunt lore tips, thank you for that!But alas as I cannot afford that, all I could do is to give you some more challenge : trying to decipher 90% of the lore graphics in eq2 from <a href="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/page_01.htm" target=_blank>here </a><img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />I looked into the game folder and extracted all the graphics lore data I could, there may be some more images missings (I didn't extract images from pc/npc skins like the golem one) but I think I covered all the "old world" at the moment. Maybe all the others expansion later when I will have time...Of course, a small spoiler warning, because there are some graphics that even I didn't find ingame (like the whole gnome calculations), and viewing them can depreciate the world discovery. I liked peeking in the eq2 graphic area, I can imagine the game is really beautiful with max settings, there are some lovely textures in there.There are some images that have been already deciphered, but I just posted them all for completeness sake. Each of them keep the original name from where they were extracted, so some can figure out what does they mean and from what zone they are. There are also some very funny like the grafittis<img src="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/TN_fprt_hoods_dk_elves_graffiti_01"> <img src="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/TN_fprt_hoods_ratonga_grafitti_02"> or the orc calculation (omg orc can think)<img src="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/TN_orcequation002"> <img src="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/TN_orcequation004">, the infamous writtings in Stormhold which raised debate about Befallen existence, or the *cough* female shroud *cough* which is directly ripped of the fabled JC shroud (there are 2 others male version of this)<img src="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/TN_shroud_f">Also the varsoon portrait is very intriguing, maybe meaning that he has mastered time (and planeshift)?<img src="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/TN_varsoon_portrait">If you can decipher them all, it would be fun to know their meaning, thank you in advance <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Coincidentally, the title of the above work is "Gnoma Obscura" as I recall. For information on precisely what an obscura IS, follow <a href="http://brightbytes.com/cosite/what.html" target=_blank>this link</a>. The typographical errors in this work (the missing E in lens, the misspelling of furnace and medium, the word "hydral" which isn't a word at all, and probably is supposed to be "hydraulic") are prominent... but that's the case with a GREAT DEAL of the text throughout the game, including that printed in simple English.I do appreciate that at the very least this wasn't another "random gibberish will have to do" text!<div></div>

[ElnAckom]

Unfortunately, this is one of the great mysteries of the game.The runes on the Claymore rewards - which are the same symbols on the shield my beloved Kyrisvetfira posted ages ago, please see previous 14-day coupling post, grrr baby! - are all from the same graphic, a "Qeynos claymore runes" image. The runes are unknown to me, and I've yet to find any definitive reference to these runes. They are NOT from any standard included font file.As a result... I cannot translate these (nor, do I believe, can anyone else) without a hint from a dev. I've been trying very hard to find correlations between the runes and other languages, hoping that the runes are simply "ancient" versions, predecessor icons... but no luck so far.Any help, red-tags?<div></div>

[ElnAckom]

Oh, and confirm above spear is "giant slayer." <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Snarks]

i tried looking at it and the fonts look like bolded or stylized versions of many characters in the MAGIC something font. <div></div>

[IrishWonder]

Yes, that's what I originally thought. The "W" looking symbol, 2nd from the top of the scimitar, looks a lot like the "N" in Magic/Druzaic... but upon looking at the other runes... they just don't match with anything :-/ Disappointing... was very excited to find out what they said, hehe

[IrishWonder]

<DIV>Hmmm.... perhaps a breakthrough. For reference, here is a pic of one of the rewards</DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/2893/eq20000083ov.jpg"></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Next, a picture of the Qeynos Claymore statue in North Qeynos:</DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/8443/claymore8fr.jpg"></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Notice that the part I outlined with the red square is a repeating pattern, on both sides, from bottom to top. The SAME pattern is repeated on the claymore reward. Also, note that the patterns don't start or end uniformly on both pics (the symbol on the bottom of the claymore is not the symbol on the bottom or top of the reward... the pattern is "cut off" so to speak). Using my very limited knowledge in cryptograms... it seems to me that because of that, those runes don't actually say anything coherent. Perhaps each rune/symbol may have a meaning, but I'd be willing to judge that they aren't "letters" in a sentence, like the other translations we've come across.</DIV>

[lusank]

I doubt we'll find a solution to the claymore one. Simple search for lore of the claymore brings up several sites with the exact same info<blockquote><hr><em><font color="#ffffff">This longsword has a mysterious past. Some claim it to be planar in origin. Regardless, the Qeynos Claymore is a very powerful weapon. The length of its magical blade is engraved with Void Glyphs - a form of written language dating back to the dawn of time.</font></em><hr></blockquote>Unless we can find somewhere that documents the void glyphs, the only way to translate will be guessing letters from usage in common words. But that would require a lot of sources of void glyphs, and also depend upon them being english words just in a differant 'font'.<em><font color="#ffffff"></font></em><div></div>

[ElnAckom]

The graphic used on the Claymore monuments and all of the rewards, as well as the shield, utilize the same single graphic, "Qeynos Runes." We are, indeed, out of further resources at this point. We'll keep at it, though.<div></div>

This looks EXACTLY like the traditional Dwarven runes used in the Lord of the Rings series, though the characters only seem to match up with the characters used in "The Hobbit".  The LOTR series changed the system to involve actual phonetic sounds, not really characters, but the Hobbit used runes on a "per character" basis, though I think a differant rune was used for the "double E".  Just a little sidenote if it helps with any future translations <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Will look for more Lucanic script and see if the runes match up.<div></div>

<DIV>I decided to try & translate the symbols on the scimitar & Claymore statue by transposing the symbols with english letters & making a </DIV> <DIV>cryptoquiz puzzle out of it.

[ElnAckom]

An interesting exercise, 3R. I would propose however, the following rationale for why this is likely not the "definitive" translation:1. We've seen throughout these instances of translation patently-stated developer messages indicating that the artists aren't putting any serious work into the lore behind the translations, because that's not the point of the game. While sometimes a little disappointing to those in overzeal mode like myself, it's logical that the teams spend more time on the fabric of the game than translating lore and the like. If they were going to create a filler, I find it hard to believe that they would go through the trouble of superimposing characters.2. In the past when Common or English letters have been used, they haven't been superimposed, but rather tightly kerned or compressed in some way. This, coupled with the canon lore that the runes are "ancient" and written in a language "long forgotten" would contraindicate the use of simple superimposed English, particularly for something that is so iconic and bound to be scrutinized. (Such as we're doing now!)3. If you refer to the graphic of the <a href="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/qey_claymore_runes.PNG" target=_blank>Qeynos Claymore Runes</a> I've referred to in these threads, you'll note that it's an image and not a font set. The scimitar runes as well as those on the shield and on the monument are all the same runes in the same order, because they're taken from the graphic. Sometimes the runes start in a different place within the graphic, and the graphic is tiled, but nonetheless the same order. Therefore, the sequence indicated in the cryptography you've proposed is simply the same sequence from the Qeynos monument, and not a cipher. Examine the posted Qeynos Monument graphic above and you'll find that the red box is not drawn around the core graphic, but is overlapped into another instance of that graphic. Using the runes within the box as a cipher starts from the wrong set of information.An interesting exercise, to be sure! But I don't think "Abfhecbg" is either correct or going to last. Furthermore the text of the portal is very clearly not the Qeynos Monument Runes, but rather the to-date-untranslated runes from the walls of the <a href="http://perso.orange.fr/lhmt/ls_temple_metal01_engraved.PNG" target=_blank>Temple of Solusek Ro</a>, an ongoing project for many of us, which I certainly hope you'll join the battle to unlock!I would propose that given the direct character-to-character transliteration of every other pieces of text in the game, that a numerological or primer-based crytographic approach might not be the most productive. Just my two cents!<div></div>

this is a pretty sweet thread! I've seen a couple runes on stuff, but can't post any images atm cuz im at work.
