    hmm as for clue2 we know it have something to do with constalations and stars.. amd if u do some reseach on the internet it seem that the Cepheus constalation somehow are linked to the word aether .

    this is what was described about that,.

    Cepheus and Cassiopeia are king and queen of Ethiopeia. The name Ethiopeia is a cognate of Greek aither, Latin aether, shortened to ether. There are masculine and feminine derivatives from the word 'aether'; the Greek word Aither, Latin spelling Aether is masculine, and may relate to Cepheus; and the feminine Cassiopeia to Aithre, Latin spelling Aithra. Aither was the ancient Greek Protogenos (first-born elemental god) of the bright, glowing upper air of heaven. His female counterpart was Aithre, "Titanis of the Clear Blue Sky, mother of the Sun and Moon."

    Aether or ether was understood to be the element itself; and aethra is the glow of the aether; according to Isidore

    "The ether (aether) is the place where the stars are, and signifies that fire which is separated high above from the entire world. Of course, ether is itself an element, but aethra (i.e. another word for ether) is the radiance of ether; it is a Greek word."

    The aether (ether) was a general word for the sky, kindle, burn, shine, the regions of space beyond the earth's atmosphere; the heavens (not the same as Ouranos, Uranus, Caelum). Aether was also the element believed in ancient and medieval civilizations to fill all space above the sphere of the moon and to compose the stars and planets
    The precise nature of the aether is an open question. Scientists in the late 19th century failed to detect the aether because it could not be measured, and concluded that the space was filled with void, or was a vacuum. Some think that what is now called 'quintessence' or 'dark-matter' is what the ancients meant by aether
    not sure where it lead but interesting that there is a starpicture in teh sky which are linked to aether and and teh same time there is a connection to a constalation

    Yeah, Be warned a lot of this is supposition...

    Clue 2
    Thalin confirmed he could see triangles and a constellation.
    Leo (from Leonardo da Vinci) is a triangular constellation and Leo is a fire sign in the zodiac.
    The second triangle I kinda really hypothesised as being the inverse, based on the fact we knew we had Air and Earth at this stage in clue4. I'm guessing is Australis again based on Sydney. The inverse would be water.

    In yet another of my drawing attempts i got Cancer (Water) in the constellations and both triangles.

    Check this out...found it on Wikipedia under Aristotle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle

    The five elements
    Main article: Classical element

    Aristotle proposed a fifth element, aether, in addition to the four proposed earlier by Empedocles.

    Earth, which is cold and dry; this corresponds to the modern idea of a solid.
    Water, which is cold and wet; this corresponds to the modern idea of a liquid.
    Air, which is hot and wet; this corresponds to the modern idea of a gas.
    Fire, which is hot and dry; this corresponds to the modern idea of heat.
    Aether, which is the divine substance that makes up the heavenly spheres and heavenly bodies (stars and planets).


    Each of the four earthly elements has its natural place. All that is earthly tends toward the center of the universe, i.e. the center of the Earth. Water tends toward a sphere surrounding the center. Air tends toward a sphere surrounding the water sphere. Fire tends toward the lunar sphere (in which the Moon orbits). When elements are moved out of their natural place, they naturally move back towards it. This is "natural motion"—motion requiring no extrinsic cause. So, for example, in water, earthy bodies sink while air bubbles rise up; in air, rain falls and flame rises. Outside all the other spheres, the heavenly, fifth element, manifested in the stars and planets, moves in the perfection of circles.

    One more thought...the 4th clue relates to air the second clue is Leo which is Fire...which means the first clue is Earth? and the third clue is water? and the 5th clue is Aether? could it be.

    not sure how u linked leo to leonado da vinci or how u figured out to make those triangles where they are - as they seem just to eb drawn there randomly and not based on anything in clue

    Leo is in Leonardos name...
    6 coordinates in pairs as a latitude and longitude give 3 points
    The cords without NSEW can each be plotted in one of four locations i.e 4 possible constellations.
    3 points makes a triangle
    Thalin said there are triangles and a constellation
    The last picture all triangles touch base with Sydney

    Yes many are random based on stars remaining, previous comments, previous attempts.

    I have reams of variations here and posted the ones I thought most likely, please feel free to have a go yourself.

    Thalin said there are no NSEW.. Now the way I look at it, NSEW can be North South East West... But mix up the letters and you get East New South Wales. Which is where Sydney is.
    Add the "Sydney rewards u", and we might have something here.

    The Da Vinci Code??

    Five elements??? Fifth element?

    The line from clue 5 is coming from 'The Lettered Cottage'.

    Maybe Evony is moving to Sydney and they are going to let the person that guesses win a free trip there.

    EDIT: Complete re-write for clarification


    “And then we sat, on the edge of the earth’ – The picture clue shows within the triangle Svalbard. Svalbard is within the Arctic Circle and is the most northern part of Norway. Norways flag is Red, White and Blue.

    STARGAZER - a stargazer is an observatory, telescope, someone who looks at the stars, a dreamer of what may be
    and Svalbard hosts the most Northern Observatory with a principal aim of observing and measuring Northern Lights.

    ‘on the edge of the earth, feet dangling over the side’ - The Air Symbol sits on the edge of the earth with the uppermost segment dangling off the edge. Within the blue colour we can see at the top the ghost like outlines of stars, below Stargazer and below that land masses. In the eye of the portion on the Earth, Svalbard is located within it.

    ‘and marvelled that we had found each other.” – Go to Svalbard, use the stargazer to reach the stars.

    There are 5 classical Elements, Alchemy comprises 3 medieval elements. The medieval elements were the brainchild of Paracelus who was a keen astronomer. In alchemy he describes the Tria Prima, the 3 spiritual substances of Mercury Sulphur and Salt= Gold. Alchemy however is better well known for the ability to turn base metals into Gold. The Philosophers stone has the properties of alchemy allowing base metals to be turned to gold and to provide the elixir of life and is symbolised much the same way as the air symbol (triangle with a line)



    In the book trilogy 'Northern Lights':
    Book One: The Golden Compass: Lyra travels to Svalbard with the assistance of a Golden Compass which works by aligning 3 points to discover the truth.

    Book Two: The Subtle Knife: is about the continuing search and a knife 'The Subtle Knife' that can create windows between worlds that allow more than one person to pass through.

    Book Three : The Amber Spyglass: is about a telescope that allows you to see Dust, Dust being the elements of life, travelling across the skies from the world into space (Northern Lights) to other lands.
    Telescopium = triangular constellation



    Considering scenarios like MIR which are collaborations maybe hostiles will work with friendlies for a common aim. Red, White and Blue are not just flag colours but war statuses in game.


    Assemble the elements required and we will be able to see and find the way to cut through into another world and enter it.
