Luminesce Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) This is one of my first real posts, so my apologies in advance if I break some sort of decorum. I have a question regarding the following chapter epigraphs: Words of Radiance, Chapter 78 AhbuttheywereleftbehindItisobviousfromthenatureofthebond ButwherewherewherewhereSetoffObviousRealizationlikeapricity TheyarewiththeShinWemustfindoneCanwemaketouseaTruthless Canwecraftaweapon- From the Diagram, Floorboard 17: Paragraph 2, every second letter starting with the first Words of Radiance, Chapter 89 TherehastobeananswerWhatistheanswerStopTheParshendi OneofthemYestheyarethemissingpiecePushfortheAlethitodestroy themoutrightbeforethisoneobtainstheirpowerItwillformabridge- From the Diagram, Floorboard 17: Paragraph 2, every second letter starting with the second What struck me when reading the book were the lines - "every second letter starting with the first" and "every second letter starting with the second". I immediately assumed there was something further to decode than what was written. However, when searching the forums for mention of these epigraphs, I am coming up empty. Am I reading too much into it? Is the epigraph, as written, the already descrambled message? Or is there a deeper, hidden message to find using the "every second letter..." key? I tried more obvious methods of descrambling, only to produce gibberish, but decoding is not really my thing.What do you guys think?

PeterAhlstrom Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 There's nothing to decipher here. In the original Diagram these two texts were interleaved. They've alreadybeen separated out so we can read them. If you're wondering if Brandon will put more codes or otherwise hidden things in future books, the likelihood of that is very high. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminesce Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks for the clarification! One of my close friends had written a little C+ program to parse out the text for him, and was trying different combinations to decipher it. I'm glad we know for sure before delving deeper.
