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



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.
    Yellow dots appear where green dots were, after the 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
  1. (SITE) a red dot flies into the rotating world map
  2. (PLAYERS) somehow we identify the location (city or place) of that dot
  3. (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.)
  4. (PLAYERS) we use the omphalos-code direction to identify another location (city or place)
  5. (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
  6. (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
  7. (SITE) the system makes a second artifact location available, as in step 3
    (PLAYERS) rinse and repeat from step 4
  8. (SITE) the dot changes to yellow, presumably when both artifacts are recovered
