Yesterday, team San Francisco STOLE the recovery code for Chapter 25 of The Lost Ring Codex from The Opposition.

The chapter is called "La Promesa" - or, The Promise.

That's the artifact that was hidden in Lausanne by the IOC Museum. It sounds like Theo snagged the artifact yesterday after our team failed to find it. But at least we have the code now! Great work Team Agonothetai.

Thanks to our Esperanto experts (hi, Jasper!) we have a complete English translation of the chapter. Finally, they tell us what la ringon perditan is! It must be the same artwork that Eli talks about in his latest podacst: The Lost Rings.

Here it is:

La Promesa

We have shared a great part of what we know with you.

However, we have not shared all.

The smallest details are most important.

We now know how much distance the last labyrinth must be out of the site of the opening ceremony.

We know how many circuits to build.

We know where we six will have to stand when the time comes for the voyages home.

We know how low the number the parallel worlds must be, how much firmly joined the ring of the six will have to be, before being able to pass through the door.

Also you must know these final pages, we prepare to make our own return voyage home. But before there to go, we swore to show you the way.

We leave behind something much more durable than these pages. In their forms and their messages, they reveal the last instructions.

Be so kind as to understand that here final details we must obscure. They can’t be as clear as those which we presented in this codex of the lost ring.

The instructions that we will try to preserve for you are so powerful, that discovery by the uninitiated could risk everything,

We will create a lost ring for your finding. And when you find it, you will know the way.

I know other Esperanto experts are working on the translation for Diego, MeiHui, Luci, and the others. (THANK YOU!)
