Talk:The Path to Revelations

bork bork maybe(already did quest going to try on diff char

This quest is nice for farming norn points since it spawns multiple bosses, with all the blessings on you can get 6x600=3.6k for killing them all, I got around 8k norn points in under 45 minutes.
 * Interesting...what are "all the blessings" though? Do I need to work up to norn rank 4? What exactly did you mean? Demonic Peaches 15:53, 8 September 2007 (CDT)

I'd lay odds that the final message is a cypher(hence the names of the previous quests in the chain). I've checked and it's not a simple rot13. Well, cyphers were never my strong point, if someone figures it out, care to share in the secret message? 71.208.171.78 00:55, 8 September 2007 (CDT)

As to the tip of going through Battledepths - the walk from Olafstead is not that long nor difficult. I breezed through it with heroes and henches.

Underworld?
The phrase "distant shore" is sometimes used in literature as a metaphor for the afterlife. "Land unwaking" seems to suggest a place of eternal sleep, i.e. death. Is this little rhyme perhaps a clue pointing us to the Underworld? It does say "beyond the mists." This could warrant some investigation.--Malagra 17:33, 10 September 2007 (CDT)

It could also be the Fissure Shore --Tommy McTom 10:13, 12 September 2007 (CDT)

Hm. I feel that. Since everyone's entranced by the new dungeons, maybe a FoW change has gone unnoticed. Malagra's right. It's worth checking out. (Besides, if it's just a cute X-Files reference, that would be way too disappointing. =P)--Gwen Shadowsound 09:13, 13 September 2007 (CDT)


 * I dunno, sounds more like a reference to Orr. Or even Unwaking Waters, it being tied to Shiro, and thus the envoys. Though it's probably just Orr. (Some Guy) 17:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

The Cipher
This ciphertext is a simple cryptogram, and falls prey to my 15-22 Sundering Javascript Blade of Frequency Analysis. I'll give you some hints. - That ' is the only character that isn't a letter........ I wonder why they would put that in there. - Take a look at this: - This is really helpful too: - Be on the lookout for double-letters. SS, EE, TT, FF, LL, MM, OO. - ...and God save Etaoin Shrdlu.

I like crypto. Crypto rocks my socks. Awesome quest chain, thank you A-Net! ^_^ Gwen Shadowsound 09:09, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

The apostrophes mark spaces between words, except they tend to come before or after really short words. Also, some speculation, C&Ped from my post over on the GW "official" wiki: Call me crazy... But in the recent PCGamer Ultimate Guild Wars Guide, the Sylvari make a reference to the mystical connection to others of their race through something called the "Dream of Dreams." But it also contains nightmares, whispers that they do NOT understand. Similarly, each land or campaign has a Dragon in it, that sleeps for eons until the land grew around them. Could it be that the Dragons are linked to the Sylvari? In WoW, sleeping dragons corrupted the thoughts and minds of druids and naga. Perhaps this cipher is merely a tease about GW2? --BarGamer 20:07, 26 September 2007 (CDT)

I think it isn't the UW nor the Dream of the Sylvari, but something "further" away for the real world, because it sais: Beyond the mists beyond the dreams, wich implays it's further then the mists (the afterworld of the six gods) and the dreams (sylvari afterlife/dream) and then it sais On distant shores of a land unwaking wich implays it's a distant land, ofcourse, beyond the afterlife itself, and it's unawaking, wich means it's not dicovered yet/whatever lives in there (maybe the dragons) aren't awake/aware of other worlds yet.&mdash;Merry  (talk | contribs) 15:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
