Crack the Eternity Code

Suffering from Gnommish withdrawal?

by Gus

Love cracking codes? Frustrated by the simplicity of the code at the bottom of the books? Looking for a challenge? Then Crack the Eternity Code is for you!

Last month, I received many complaints about the language chart for "Eternian," saying that the chart wasn't large or clear enough. A new chart, provided by Kitty Rainbow from Mesmerised, has been uploaded, and it should be much clearer. Thanks again to Kitty Rainbow.

The code for last month was relatively simple. It was nothing more than a combination of all three codes, with no additional encryption used. The decoded phrase read:

This is an uncomplicated deal. I shoot you. You die. No face off. No duel.

The following people have successfully cracked the code: slimefrog, FairyHunter, and Koru.

This month's code is a bit more difficult. There are three essential "sections" to this puzzle, each one coded with a different language.

The last section, the one coded in Eternian, is the actual code that must be broken. The Centaurean does not have to be broken, but cracking it will provide a hint for the Eternian.

There is, however, a catch. The Centaurean is also encrypted, but should be easier to crack than the Eternian. Decoding the Gnommish will provide a clue for the Centaurean.

As with last time, you will need: a pencil, a piece of paper, and some patience. A set of language charts (Gnommish, Centaurean, and the unnamed "Eternian" code) is recommended. The language charts provided here are courtesy of Matt from Artemis Fowl Confidential and Kitty Rainbow from Mesmerised. A little knowledge in classical ciphers is also recommended, but not required. If you don't know anything about ciphers, do not despair! There are plenty of pages and encyclopedias on the Internet that will help, but I recommend the one from Wikipedia.

If you have cracked the code, send your solution to the editor. Answers will be published in the next month's issue, along with the names of the successful code-breakers.

Thanks to Dim Aldebaran for "proofreading" the code!
