un: vogel | German text Around Fragment

[insinning]

Has anyone else been finding pieces of German text around Fragment?

I can help with translating them if you need it. I don't know if I'm the best at it but these haven't been too hard... [So says the actual fluent German speaker]

This is what has been found so far:

[From Akatsuki's findings]
Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born…
After the stars doth cross the heavens,
The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning.
From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes.

[From Winter's transcription of the music in the Holy Forbidden Church]

The shadowed man on the quest for the Twilight dragon. The shadowed man will not come back here in search of the Twilight dragon.

[From Lumina Cloth, up in a high building that Oriade and Vogel were investigating while flying]

Riding the wake is ██████, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, █████, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of █████, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave.
With the Wave, ████████, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.

The last piece of the poem has words missing, but I can't work out what it might be. Does anyone else have an idea?

edit: 12/9

I forgot to mention I found another piece in Naval Monte:

█████ schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.

█████ seduces with the sweet trap.

Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. ██████ still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.

And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives ████████.

Perhaps then the Wave is just a beginning as well.

I'm not surprised. He was quick with the lyrics.

Did someone remove them?

Maybe it's like when a crazy ex scribbles out names or faces on photos. Except it's German. And we don't know who the crazy ex is.

un: oriade

[dissimulative]

wow
im sorry that happened to you

[ ??? ]

[gluttoning]

What?

What do you mean?

[dissimulative]

it sounded like you had a crazy ex
you dont???

[insinning]

[...]

I guess that's a good analogy

Also we don't know who wrote these either.

[gluttoning]

Did it look like stuff was actually written down when you found it?

I guess I would think about it different if it were something carved into the background. And some of it was in music. Maybe it's just part of the game story.

[insinning]

It did seem handwritten [Game written? Typed?]

It probably is, but it's strange how it's all hidden in weird places. Not even in a book.

For the last part, doesn't it sound like each of the missing words is followed/preceded by an epithet?

Could be we're missing names.

[insinning]

That's what I thought too. I'm trying to work out where 'The shadowed man' and 'Twilight Dragon' might fit, if they even fit at all.

[threatmewted]

I think it's probably some kind of game lore.

It keeps talking about Waves > the game has Wavemasters who control magic

Not German, but I found this.

[ Attached is Screenshot001.jpg, showing a worn tablet sitting in what looks like a ruin. The writing is faded and mostly hard to read, but what is legible is clearly Elder Futhark runes. ]

Looks like Viking runes, so it might be related. Found it in ΔHidden Forbidden Bulwark if you wanna check it out. Don't get too close to the wall though btw.

[insinning]

[Ah, fellow (redacted) dungeon conqueror. It's been awhile.]

What happens if you get too close to the wall?

[ Wait, even online it's important to be polite ]

Oh. And thank you for sharing.

[secondthoughts]

[ Yaoi buddy (SFW)! ]

There's a noise that comes from it, gave me an awful migraine. Had to take the day after off work. Never had anything like it before.

un: fuurin (as promised, the fated mmo protag meeting)

[glassbell]

The wall is haunted?

🤝🤝🤝

[secondthoughts]

Glitched, more likely. Maybe some placeholder sound file got left in. I dont know.

Can you imagine if there were actual ghosts in the game lol

Do you think that's the order of how the poem should be read?
Like the order that we found them.
Or should we consider seeing how it should be ordered...or reordered.

[insinning]

You're right. The song lyrics don't belong there, but it could be an important hint for the order of the rest of the poem.

[tot]

Right?
If this is written in German, maybe it follows the way that some old German poems are told too?
Such that it is a song within the core of the poem itself.
