Rooms

Abandoned mine

Accessible via

Scrap of map:

Foundation elevator
concealed entrance
Cliffside exit
Mine cart
Fountain entrance ⇒ visible on map
tomb entrance
torch chamber
Rotating gear

Buried floorplan ⇒ visible on map, only readable with magnifying class. Maybe need a spade for it?

Found a giant gear room with a lot of currently inaccessible rooms.

Lit the candles in the candle room and it made a staircase. Foreman’s log from Scripts & Rudford - 20. Date 7.25.1915: Tomas Sinclair designed the ornate list down the mine. Today we begin digging into the mountain. Access into precipice and therefore into the tomb and the reservoir.

Antechamber

Day 3: not accessible Day 4: we found a lever, but we didn’t reach the antechamber to try if it works

Day 9: opened East side of antechamber. Note: To go up you must go down. Found basement key that unlocks the basement door.

North door of antechamber has a crescent moon on it. Same as necklace that lady on photo in bedroom (Lady Epsen?) was wearing.

Armory

can buy morning star (like sledgehammer), knight (removes red effects of one room for the day) or axe (permanently removes the gem costs of a room).

Black night chess piece.

Basement room

Accessible with basement key from antechamber In drained fountain outside

There’s a boat but it’s not accessible, reservoir needs to be drained a little bit (but not fully). For that the pump room needs to be powered.

Blackbridge Grotto

Server room We need to plug in 2 more microchips

Blackbridge network administrative controls. Admin key: RevaD ⇒ has been deactivated!! Must be another key. BabbA works. Others that should work: MoorR, ThomK, RibbJ Expired: RuotH, RevaD, + 3 additional delisted admin keys: WithP, RibbJ Another added (07-25-87) as written in log: not DarrK, not BonM, not MargleB, not MargB ⇒ We don’t know what it is, but it was likely the dummy admin for clue seekers

Tried DarrK: no admin found.

Log in as ThomK for full admin privileges. Set all email to on. Blackbridge = network name. ⇒ ominous name, legend from which the term derives, fate that befell people in the story

Logs from MoorR: 01-20-86: Setting up networks 03-02-87: WithP and RibbJ have been added as admins. 03-03-87: Jean and I are successfully logged on now. 03-04: 03-06: RibbJ: we need file transfers ASAP 03-06: MoorR: I should be done by the time you and Phillip (White. Marion’s publisher) are moved out of the shelter. 03-07: RibbJ: If by Phillip you mean Paul then yes, this would work. 03-07: MoorR: His admin key tripped me up. Will wipe the logs anyway. 03-07: WithP: no prob 03-09: MoorR: Data packet transfer from Fierstrom, Eraja. Total file size 14 kb. 03-14: WithP: We finished moving, made ourselves at home. Two additional crates are expected to arrive in the next 3 days. 07-10: RibbJ: Randolph, instead of deleting the logs rather leave manufactured messages. I’d like to lure clue-seekers down a path. 07-11: MoorR: We can create dummy admin account with pseudo privileges. 07-12: RibbJ: I better get to writing. Visitor last week has given me inspiration for a new book.

Next entry: 07-25-87 As requested yesterday, new Admin key created, but name doesn’t fit with typical name formatting. ⇒ This must be the dummy admin they created to fool clue-seekers.

08-27-87: WithP: Moore, scrub the logs. The four of us are ready to go dark. 08-28-87: RibbJ: Randolph, I left the final manuscript in the safe house. Please look after the other children. Should our paths not cross again we will embrace each other in soot and ash. 08-28: MoorR: Don’t look back, we’re with you. May the black shores guide you both. 08-28: RibbJ and WithP delisted.

09-01-87: all electronic mail restricted to only office 01-20-89: Routine maintenance 01-04-90: Routine maintenance 07-03-91: Updated access privileges for the following account types: admin access, personnel access, archive access 11-25-92: RTA is down, terminal connection failures 11-28-92: RTA working again, added ability to access remote terminals 01-29-93: RuotH (valet) got admin access 02-20-93: RuotH (valet) admin access deactivated 06-22-93: ThomK joined the team

Log in with RibbJ (Jean Ribbon = Marion): Made a lot of formerly deleted emails readable. Lots from Marion (as RibbJ) and Caleb (as WithP) about fleeing.

There’s a small room model with a small safe. With a magnifying glass you can put in a safe code. it’s not 1107 or 0711, or 1122. Right code: 1108 Red letter nr. 5, from Marion. Uncle, In a few hours we are departing. As planned, we will be taking the old mountainway tunnels to the North. We’ll go as far as we can by trolley until the rails give out. Then we’ll proceed on foot until we reach the Southern border. I’ve never been as excited, nervous and heartbroken. I may never know if I’ve made the right decisions, but I’ve made the ones I felt my father might have nodded in approval at. I’m leaving a message for Simon here in the safe house. This unhallowed cavern that we’ve called home for the last year. If something should happen to me, please guide him to this place. Try to show him what these lost days were all for. Explain to him if you can the intersection between foolishness and doctrine. The thin wire we stood upon above the world and throwing stones. Holding hands and throwing stones. In those days we were guilty of everything. As always, Mary. ⇒ Mary’s father is dead at this point ⇒ Seems like Herbie (Simon’s brother) is also not in the picture? He doesn’t actually exist. Herbie (in the bunk room) is Herbert senior (HSS)!!

Freezer

Freezer labelled “Mr Sinclair’s personal freezer”. Not for staff use. Inside is a frozen letter. There’s other stuff in the freezer as well (keys, gems). We need to cut the power to thaw things! OR the temperature actually increases if we’re in the room and the furnace is on!!! BUT: the letter in the separate freezer box is not thawing, even though it has 17C in the room after a while. Do we need 2 furnaces??

Code (Braille) on servers - puzzle??. 2 identical.

Letter from Denny Revane: networks servers are out of cold storage, or at least as many as we could fit in the surrounding walls of the Grotto off the East Drive. Admin key: RevaD

Turn power off in Breaker box (Utility room) to open the garage door. Only works when it’s on the west wing edge. ⇒ West gate permanently unlocked

In car, note: The drop-off address is 14227 Sandy Heights. A small garage on the south edge of Trinsdale. The goods are already secure and in the trunk, so just unload and get back here before noon. I’ve seen Sinclair’s schedule and I don’t think he’ll be requesting the car today but you never know when the cat will want to get some air. Tomorrow will likely be the last delivery and I believe Denny already has payment ready. ⇒ someone else in the house must have written that note.

Goods in trunk = 2 bottles (alcohol?)

Broken lever that opens the antechamber Gems Sheet music “5”: Trees found inside will never shade, the gems that shine in night and rain, the clue you hold can not be paid, With gems nor coin so toss away, those sheets you find a worthy trade.

One of the walls looks really weird. Can it be smashed with a sledgehammer?

Emptying the greenhouse water reservoir in the pump room doesn’t do anything obvious immediately (other than turn off the water dripping from the ceiling).

Sad story about a bird who gives up swimming. Same bird as in the store room picture.

The History of Orindia, First edition and Second Edition. By Caleb Manning. 1979. Ajera to Eraja Feb 9 ´81: HSS Jan 6 ´84: Mary Jones Mar 2 ´87: Det. Bon Margle Sep 3 ´87: Det. Bon Margle Nov 17 ´93: Simon P. Jones

This book was reviewed and cleared for publication by The Fenn Aries Central Board of Eduction. Cleaned to conform. FOREWORD: Orindia = Eastern waters. We must preserve the embers of our past. I AJERA: Ajera = the first era. Oris the first king (real name redacted) of Orindia. Black flags were fluttering in Orindia. II SECOND ERA: fourth king (name redacted) of Orindia. The eldest child got the middle province and heartspring of the kingdom. He called it Orinda Aries, after the angelic paragon of royalty, Orinda. The middle child, the only daughter, got the southern region of Eraja, the mystical realm of the ancestors, a land steeped in tradiiton, magic and the poetry of the old tongue. III THIRD ERA: map of the three parts of the realm. Middle symbol redacted = eldest son. The middle symbol is the doorbell. The third era was defined by the construction of a vast network of railways that spanned the length and breadth of the land, linking the northern mountains of Arch Aries to the southern shores of Eraja. This facilitated travel and commerce between the three realms, further strengthening their bond and laying the foundation for the promise of a prosperous and bright future, a promise that would unfortunately, as my readers will soon find, not be kept. IV FOURTH ERA: King Desilets III king of Orinda Aries, he listened to the voices of all his subjects. He was often seen drinking and conversing among his people. Desilets was known as the king of the people. He moved his castle from the secluded mountains of Reddington to the public stage of Oris. There were some people who didn’t like this, mostly the nobles of Fenn. V ERA OF RUIN: King Desilets III died. Growing unrest among the western city of Fenn. The next day, 6th October, Prince Leerson of Fenn declared himself monarch = Desilets IV. Civil war between Prince Leerson of Fenn and Desilets IV. 22 years war. Fennsurrection Arch Aries and Nuance joined forces with the general of the Northern regiment. Black flags exchanged to red banners to honour the fallen of Fenn. Remaining royal family fled to south forever exiled. (Eraja?) VI THE CURRENT ERA: Today: Fenn Aries, Arch Aries, Eraja. United as allies. The distance between our peoples has grown. Hope for a common future, a future where we are not defined by the colours of the banners we raise, but by that which connects us. The land that connects us is still Orindia.

Letter from Dectective Bon Margle from Red Guard: to HSS. HSS has library of rare and restricted books. But he gave detective an already censored book, but detective thinks he also has an uncensored version.

3rd largest city of Fenn Aries and former capital. Boardwalk, botanical garden. Historic castle, underground bazar. Botanical garden: most popular, mausoleum, best in spring time (busiest season), East of town, concludes at Mainway station. Holly Ibex x meserveae = holly specific to Reddington’s mountains. Featherfall Keep: at base of mount Perma, 2nd highest summit in Reddington, significant to realm’s past, former home of Lord William Epsen, until recently private family home of Epsen family since before the 3rd era. After death of Lord Epsen, his oldest son Lionel left the estate never to return. However the daughter (Clara?) stayed until she married in 1951. After that it became a museum and national historic landmark. Might have been built by the first king of Orinda Aries, but some recent documents cast doubts on this myth. Trinsdale lake: (= picture in entrance hallway) Rolling fog, gliding swans. Hundred bells tearoom, open Mondays and Fridays. Southern edge is for tourists, Northern and rest for rich people. Mount Holly: 11220 ft, tallest mountain in the realm. A few hours from Reddington. Opposite side of the peak between northern slope and saddle sits estate Mt. Holly. 80 acre mountain residence, completely private since closing of Mt. Holly schoolhouse in 1966. Mainway station bazar: Underground, once Reddington’s train station when trains were still in service.

Sheet music “2”: Among this scattered symphony A message hidden beneath the keys In bold words sung by you and me A fractured note an urgent plea In bold words sung I do repeat.

Sheet music “3”: The ones of you who oft assume That you alone can solve this tune Are likely going to get your due And all the rage that will ensue While working on this simple clue.

Sheet music “4”: White pages lines with melodies Do hide the words we’ve come to seek And from our choice among all these We write down one that seems to be The loudest type with ink that bleeds.

Email:

10 Feb 1987, stop recording: To Kirk, from Randolph Moore. Stop all surveillance recording, Baron’s decision.
5 Nov 1986, another request. From Anne Babbage to Kirk Darren. Baron has requested red and blue memo sheets for a project he’s working on in the clocktower. She’s confused why Kirk and the Baron confuse people with the coloured memos.
24 Jan 1987, security measures. From Kirk Darren to Anne Babbage. He thinks the antechamber lever in weight room should be removed or concealed. It controls the south entrance.
4 Feb 1987, security measures. Anne to Kirk. Baron might want to install secondary levers for convenience.

Closed door

Book/brochure: “Realm & … - Sigils of the past & present” by prof. R. Willard, 1905 Foreman’s copy, Sigils, specifically Realm Sigils, are crude circular marks of designation found on royal artifacts, buildings and older documents. Each sigil is made up of 4 elements: the core, the diving lines (rays), the motes, the border. Core = different for each realm: pentagon, hourglass or arrow shapes - Pentagon = Fenn Aries - “Doorbell”ish = Orindia Aries (middle region) - Hourglass = Eraja (southern region) - Arrow = Corarica - Mountain = Arch Aries (nothern region) Rays Number of rays indicates the method of transportation prevalent in a realm. 8 = ship routes 4 crossroad = roads, carriages 4 downward = horseback, rough trails 3 = trains, locomotion 5 = aviation 2 = camels, mules 5 short rays = turtleback travel Weather Straight line = normal Horizontal slashes = foggy Wavy lines = extreme heat Rainy realm = three vertical lines Lightning shaped line = stormy weather Ray dotted with falling circles = snow, colder realms Bent curved lines = windy Motes: explains type of society a given realm proclaimed, e.g. industrial, academic, tribal, etc. (some are in the picture on Duncan’s phone) Border: 8 different ones, each corresponding to a colour that also corresponds to the banner and national colours of the realm. black, red, violet, pink, green, yellow, orange, white Scribbled on last page: Red (crossed out) Banners, Martial, Fog

Fenn Aries = the grand realm, road/carriage transportation, foggy, militaristic society, red

EG in the staircase torch room in the abandoned mine. Core - doorbell = Orindia Rays - unclear, three perpendicular lines, top two together then gap then one below. Top one shortest. Others same length. Is it fog??? It seems to suggest it might be in the outside Motes - Metropolitan Border - Black?

Red closed door ⇒ room 46?? NO, leads further into the mines and to the upper level of the turning cogwheels. Red door was opened by activating the red box in the boiler room!!

Long corridor leads to inner sanctum. Lever opens the northern door in the antechamber. We see a room 46 appear behind it. The door doesn’t stay permanently open, needs to be activated again.

Clue about reservoir levels necessary: 0 = full drain 6 = entry level 13 = dock level 14 = full

Foreman’s log 228, 3.1. 1917 The old station had to be flooded, with the tunnel.

Combination lock on door, 4 positions: Wheel 1: T E W U M S B R L P Wheel 2: H W E I O C R M N A Wheel 3: I Y S A L D E K B M Wheel 4: S Z 8 K E H D P M N ⇒ does the 8 have to be in it? It’s so weird. Not RLCF, THIS, There’s a red letter in it! It’s MAY 8!!

Foreman’s log 102, 1.13.1916 They found a spire and a floorplan of ruins from Orindia. The border was the same pitch as the sunless cavern we found it in.

Red letter number 1: May 8th, Dear Baron Sinclair. My name is Worth Laude. My father used to work for your father 1915-1918. Worth Laude’s father died recently left behind 7 children, his widow, 30-odd grand children. He never spoke of the baron and never betrayed the confidence of the baron. The father was a miner, his colleagues were not as discreet. Laude shares some of the tales from the miners, because he thinks they might be true. He is blackmailing the baron to not tell those stories further. Red note in block letters: that blackmailers used this

Working crafting new items: lock pick kit + metal detector = pick sound amplifier shovel + compass = dowsing rod ⇒ While drafting it points towards rooms that may contain more items today than usual. shovel + metal detector = detector shovel shovel + battery pack +… sledge hammer + battery pack + … compass + battery pack = electromagnet ⇒ more likely to draw mechanical rooms, automatically collect keys and coins when entering a room magnifying glass + metal detector = burning glass ⇒ can light candles and ignite fuses (dynamite??!!!) rabbit’s foot + coin purse = lucky purse ⇒ Double all the money you find

Characters

HSS - Baron Herbert S. Sinclair, former owner of the manor, our granduncle. Architect, designed the new Reddington elementary school and also hosted the kids for a while. Father was also architect. Died on 5 Nov (or 4 Nov?) morning at the age of 73 from a heart condition.
Bridgette
Tomas Sinclair: HSS’s predecessor (father), lived around 1915 and hired a mining company to found out more about the cave/mine system in the mountain.

M. Lowry, wrote a letter in the parlor about the box game on 2nd May.
Lady Clara Epsen - our grandmother
- Died (around 15 June 1983). West wing closed (for a while?) out of respect for her.
- Went to Reddington elementary school
Mrs. Babbage, houses manager
- Wrote a letter to Christoph that he missed a drive 3 times
Denny Revane - former staff, no longer employed. Former gardener/groundskeeper. He also helped install the servers and he suggested the location of Grotto off the East Drive. Admin key: RevaD. Blackmailed the baron. He also stole the baron’s mail.
Herbie - =HSS, Simon’s brother

Christoph - chauffeur/driver RED ink. Denny is mentioned in note about delivery in the car (garage).

Disappeared around 21 Feb 1987 (6 years ago) on a Friday at 3:45 after lunch at Hundred Bells Tea Room in Trinsdale. Disappeared, same as the carriage driver. Mary wears a swan necklace. Did she actually disappear or did she change her name (from public record)? She was doing something for a (political?) cause. Was she smuggled over the border to the south actually on 1 September, 7 months after her “public” disappearance?
Caleb Manning - author, detained by red guard in relation to Trinsdale bombing in 1986. Was friend, mentor and confidant of Marion Marigold. Is The Red Prince about Caleb? Planned museum heist with Marion. Practiced in Mount Holly with HSS in on it. Probably Paul Withers as alter ego.

Mrs. Peterson - new elementary school principle
Detective Bon Margle - Red Guard. Investigating censored books (probably related to Caleb Manning).
Courtney - Marion’s (Mary’s) cousin. HSS = uncle or father??. Courtney’s father tried to figure out more about Marion’s disappearance as well, but wasn’t successful. Courtney spoke to a “mutual acquaintance” of “Uncle” and hers and now she thinks that Uncle smuggled Marion across the red border.
Blackwater insurgents - group opposed to red guard, probably responsible for stealing the Ruby Crown. Also known as RLCF, the children of blackwater.
Sinclair family: Holly in family crest
Epsen family: Swan and two spades in family crest
