Inu Quest Info [Spoilers]

A lot has been discovered about the Inu Quest...so if you are working on it yourself, DO NOT READ THIS POST. It contains spoilers and information about the quest and what has been found up to now!

This information is taken from Stratics. Reporters will be credited for the parts they have written.

April 30th - Assia (UO Stratics Pacific Reporter)

For those unfamiliar with Odda, she sent in a letter recently to the Editor of the Britannia News Network [BNN]. This is what she wrote:
Letter to the Editor
Apr 21 2006 8:44PM

Dear BNN,

Troubles in Tokuno, which you recently published, made me realize that you have been sending secret messages! If you take the number of letters in Inu the Crone, you get eleven which of course means nothing by itself. Now, if you count the long paragraphs in that story, you get twelve. Furthermore, eleven on top of twelve is twenty three! Only they know what twenty three really means, but it's very obvious to myself that it does indeed mean something. In addition, adding the two short paragraphs of that story to twenty three gives us twenty five.

Lately, I've been a bit lost trying to figure out what all these numbers mean, but I know that you know what they know! How do I know? Adding stuff together is what mother (who is now retired in Nujel'm) said I'm best at, and I know you're up to something with these Inu the Crone stories! Thank you for listening to me, but please stop sending them messages and just tell us regular stories from now on.

Sincerely,
Odda
Odda was spotted a couple nights ago near the Nujel'm bank.



This appears to be the same lady who wrote the article shown above. She spoke of her mother now being retired in Nujel'm, but where is she? I saw some odd engraved armor in the Nujel'm Graveyard, but it is unsure whether this is relevant to this mystery or possible part of a previous event. With Odda's letter speaking of numerical puzzles, this armor could very well be a clue. If it is, than what does the number 6 mean? Could this be clue number 6 and there are others we should find? Hmm..



Odda responds to several key words. The ones discovered so far are:
Hello: Need help with something? I'm kind of busy.
Odda: Need help with something? I'm kind of busy.
Busy: I'm counting the number of letters contained in words, written in this book.
Letters: Yes, count the ones that are correct!
Inu: She knows!
Nujel'm: Yes, I know! Its the start, but what do we add to it?
Wisps: Whvt?
Editor: I'm close to discovering the truth.
Close: Very, very close. I think I just need to count the letters and add them to something
Truth: It is out there.
Talk: Yes, talk. Speaking of which, I need to talk to Inu about modulus.
Modulus: No, I don't know what it means either. Why don't you look it up?
Addo: That's quite backwards.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing plot including the discovery of a secret location and a very informative little wisp!

Hats off to Claudia and several members of FL and Elf who I saw spending several hours discovering this information. When the discoveries were first made, Pacific was some of the first to post on the community thread. Well done all of you!

Written by Assia of UO Stratics Pacific:

Recently, a strange red wisp statue was discovered inside the wisp dungeon.


To get to this dungeon, follow the maps from the Honesty Gate in Ilshenar:



With excellent math skills, some citizens from all over the shards recently discovered the trigger word. It was discovered that the secret key word that was supposed to be found through the "Words Good and Bad Upon Nujelm" runes and the "Who is Inu the Crone?" article from BNN was the word combination,"KWYBCE". When you numerically added "KWYBCE" to "Nujelm" using the numbers associated with letters of the alphabet and then converted the number back to the alphabet you got a new key word {ex. k+n aka 11+14=25=Y}. The new key word discovered was "YRIGOR". When you say "YRIGOR" to Inu you get the password to the red colored wisp statue.

YRIGOR: ManifestationsOfWisdom



When spoken to the red wisp statue, you are instantly teleported to an area surrounded by stars and swirling sparkles that appear to lead even deeper into this strange and mysterious place.


What lays beyond the swirling sparkles? Stay tuned for more updates on this developing plot and more of what is inside this secret location!

Hats off to Claudia and several members of FL and Elf who I saw spending several hours discovering this information. When the discoveries were first made, Pacific was some of the first to post on the community thread. Well done all of you!

In our previous news story, we discovered the password needed to get past the red wisp statue found inside the Wisp Dungeon in Ilshenar. Upon saying the word, you were teleported to a mysterious marble platform surrounded by stars.

When you stepped into the sparkling swirls you are transported to a marble floored platform with 4 green crystals on pedestals. There is a blue gate that lets you leave the area and acts as a moongate of sorts.

Following an FL member, I stepped out onto the stars and discovered a hidden path that twisted and turned to take you to dead ends and other interesting marble platforms. Here are a couple others locations.


Be aware some of the objects on the platforms will teleport you to other locations. For example: the dirt encrusted books teleport you to the platform with the potted cacti. To find a complete map of all the paths and teleporters discovered so far, please visit the U-Hall spoiler thread. The link will be at the bottom of this article.

So after wandering around for awhile, I discovered a brazier that when touched took me to a much larger platform where several people were gathered around a wisp.



The wisp when spoken to would respond to several key words. It started by asking for some answers to it's questions. Speaking in wispish, it soon became apparent that if you substituted the "y's" for vowels {a,e,i,o,u,y} than you could understand it. Although X when by itself appeared to be translating to "I" or possibly it was the wisp's name and it was speaking in the third person.

Here are some of the questions the wisp asked and the answers. Often time the answer to the question would prompt the next question. The translations for the wisp language can be find in ()'s.
Hello: Gryytyngs myrtyl (Greetings Mortal)
Mortal: X wyll trydy ynfyrmytyyn (I will trade information)
Information: Yn Dyym, whyt ys thy nymy yf Vyctyryy s byyk (In Doom, what is the name of Victoria's book)
Grimoire: Gyyd, byt X dysyry myry knywlydgy. (Good, but I desire mroe knowledge)
Desire: Whyt dyys thy dryyd syrryynd hyrsylt wyth? (What does the dryad surround herself with?)
Oak: X lyyrn, so myny qyystyyns yry lyft. Gythyr myry knywlydgy (I learn, so many questions are left. Gather more knowledge)
Gather: Yn thy tyly Byrds yf Brytynnyy, whyt ys thy lyst byrd? (In the tale Birds of Britannia, what is the last bird?)
Swan: Yntyrystyng, ynd thy mynystyr yf trydy, yn hys hyyd hy hys? (Interesting, and the minister of trade, on his head he has?)
Jingasa: Yny ty pyndyr. Yn thy myzy whych ys lynd whym shyyld yyy bywyry? (One to ponder. In the maze which is land, whom should you beware?)
Relvinian: Yndyrstyndybly, yyt thy hyly wyrryyr thyt hys lyst hys syght. Whyt nymy gyys by hy? (Understandably, yet the holy warrior that has lost his sight. What name goes by he?)
Horus: Yh X syy. Ynd thy qyyyyn by spyryt whyt ys hyr nymy? (Ah I see. And the queen by spirit what is her name?)
Silvani: X hyvy lyyrnyd myny y thing tydyy. X ysk nyw thyt yyy spyyk yn thy nytyvy tyngyy (I have learned many a thing today. I ask now that you speak in the native tongue)
At this point he asks that you speak in the native tongue, presumably his. Several players started to try and figure out what to say in Wisp and some of the attempts were quite hilarious such as Eve's "All Your Base Belong To Us."

So far a few key words in Wispish that have been discovered:
Shyttyryd: Yt wys yftyr thy tryvyyl spyll wys shyryd wyth Brytynnyy. (It was after the trivial spell was shared with Britannia.)
Spyll: Yys, yt nyw hys y fyllywyng. Hywyvyr thyry yry ythyr pywyrs yt hynd. (Yes, it now has a following. However there are other powers at hand.)
Pywyrs: Hyw dy yyy nyt knyw yf thym? Symy fynd thym yndysyrybly. (How do you not know of them? Some find them undesirable.)
Yndysyrybly: Yyy hyvy bryyght my mych knywlydgy. X yffyr yyy thys yn rytyrn. (You have brought me much knowledge. I offer you this in return.)
Rytyrn: Thyry yry myny wyrlds, yyy shyyld fynd ynythyr. (There are many worlds, you should find another.)
What could these clues mean? Are there other key words we haven't discovered yet? What does the last sentence, "There are many worlds, you should find another," mean? Stay tuned for more updates on this developing plot!

May 1st - Posted by Joshua Rowan on UO Stratics

As we all search for more clues from the Wisp found in the Wisp Maze (see previous stories), everyone suspected that there was still more to be learned after the last phrase found talked about speaking "the native tongue". And thanks to a leap of faith by Atheryn (player), who decided to start deciphering "Studies: The Shattering" by Nystul - the book found in the possession of General Lorgash earlier in the quest (and which Darkscribe *did* let us know was an important book last week) - we now have the next steps of the quest. After decoding nearly the entire book of "Studies: The Shattering" to the Wispish language, she discovered that deep within the book lay the word "shattered", or "shyttyryd" in Wispish - a brand new keyword for the Wisp. Read on for all her findings:
The first keyword is from text within Nystul's Book - "shattered" - but in Wispish.
Shyttyryd
Answer: Yt wys yftyr thy tryvyyl spyll wys shyryd wyth Brytynnyy.
Translation: It was after the trivial spell was shared with Britannia.

Spyll
Answer: Yys, yt nyw hys y fyllywyng. Hywyvyr thyry yry ythyr pywyrs yt hynd.
Translation: Yes, it now has a following. However there are other powers at hand.

Pywyrs
Answer: Hyw dy yyy nyt knyw yf thym? Symy fynd thym yndysyrybly.
Translation: How do you not know of them? Some find them undesirable.

Yndysyrybly
Answer: Yyy hyvy bryyght my mych knywlydgy. X yffyr yyy thys yn rytyrn.
Tranlation: You have brought me much knowledge. I offer you this in return.

Rytyrn
Answer: Thyry yry myny wyrlds, yyy shyyld fynd ynythyr.
Translation: There are many worlds, you should find another.

I can't help but feel there are more keywords before this sequence. Anyway, it sounds like someone has rediscovered the Armageddon spell and plans to use it, don't you think? But what are these "powers at hand"?

Cheers,
Atheryn.
Again, a huge thanks to Atheryn for helping us all find this next step! Now the question is - What does it mean? Has the Armageddon spell been found? Are our worlds in danger of being destroyed? Stay tuned here as we find out more...
