Is this "the secret"?
(lovingly coined the 'omphaputer' by Weezel)

Revealed by Eli Hunt on March 11th by email
Located at: http://164.109.150.213
The site was found by Eli Hunt with the help of a code in a book. See origin.
The site is multi-lingual
The longer the page is viewed, the more dots appear to fly in and land at various places (populated areas?) on earth's continents, forming a transparent rotating world.
The look of the earth after some time seems similar to the satellite image of the earth at night (lights showing populated areas).
Occasionally, red, green, yellow dots can be seen on the map.
For WhoIs information about the website/IP and its mirror site, see the discussion page

Command Reference

For an exhaustive list of commands, please see the Omphaputer command reference

Omphalos commands

red and green dots are occasionally seen flying in to land at points on the globe.
The locations have some significance.
Red dots are inactive omphaloi
Green dots are apparently locations of omphaloi that have been activated.
Green dots turn yellow after an artifact is recovered.
Unidentified red/green dot locations (very rough approximations):

none at the moment (Mar 16)

The Omphaloi have been determined to give vectos to the locations of special artifacts (see Artifacts for contents of each location)

Omphalos procedure

(SITE) a red dot flies into the rotating world map
(PLAYERS) somehow we identify the location (city or place) of that dot
(PLAYERS) that placename is entered into the command prompt (e.g. DONGYING)
(SITE) if the location has a red dot, the system returns Pending artifact confirmation

(SITE) if the location has a green dot, the system returns a confirmation and an omphalos-code direction (e.g. Navigate 3969 Hera 8 degrees.)
(PLAYERS) we use the omphalos-code direction to identify another location (city or place)
(PLAYERS) that second placename is combined with the first and entered at the command prompt (e.g. STEPHENVILLE/AUSTIN)

(SITE) the system returns Artifact location identified. and three lines that specify the location of the artifact
(PLAYERS) we recover the artifact, we get a code, which, when input to the command line unlocks a PDF of the chapter of Codex of the Lost Ring
(SITE) the system makes a second artifact location available, as in step 3

(PLAYERS) rinse and repeat from step 4
(SITE) the dot changes to yellow, presumably when both artifacts are recovered
