edit: oh and i forgot to mention this is very loosely based on a Final Fantasy type of universe.
Hey guys, its your friendly neighborhood jerk. bringing you a simple and yet complicated puzzle. This is from my personal story/world. so the contest will be 2 months long. that should give you time to work on this as well to work with others or yourselves. the winner or winners will get a free comic book which I will send them, as well as personal glorification on my comicvine profile, and possibly have them involved in a future comic review. so not much of a prize but still something none the less. This contest will end June, 22nd of 2011.
And here it is...
In Story Info:
On a recent expedition to the interior of the Halvijnor Continent, a group of Hume archeologists searched for any remains of ancient text or civilization prior to the demonic wars that lasted 387 years. during those wars, most of texts of their history had been lost. leaving most to live with a "now" philosophy, bits of steam technology and magic intertwined. Deep in the Vacneer Forest was found remanents of what used to be a crude lookout tower. upon many months of excavation found ruins of Orchani (orcs) and Hume architecture.The largest building in which was excavated found catacombs and underground crypts of what were priests, and shamans. Upon one such crypt was the finding of a runed tablet. the tablet itself seemed to be in ancient Hume runic system which was derived of the Northlander tribes of the Wyvern Mountains in the deep northern regions of the continent.
Taken with care and under the scholastics of scientists and magi of the 3 major nations, the tablet's language has yet to be deciphered as all key texts were destroyed during those ancient wars. but from some close observation, there is reason to suggest that the tablets speak of either of a magical weapon, a recount of an important point in history. or possible ancient calendars based on astronomical constellations.
The tablet itself was tested and found to be close to 4,200 years old, it also seemed to have been enchanted by a time spell to slow down natural degradation, the ruins itself seem to suggest that it was built around 1,850 years ago. so the origin of the tablet may not be from that area. all attempts of scrying the history of the tablet have failed. Now the tablet sits in a Museum with new attempts every so often to study and solve the mystery of the runes.
