Ancient Symbol Decryption Records
Overview
Ancient seal systems discovered throughout the Fusion Continent. These are believed to be part of the symbolic notation used by mechanical lifeforms known as Automitons. While their origins remain unclear, they are thought to reflect the social structures and thought patterns of these beings.
Decrypted Seals
Seal of Genesis
A seal found in the oldest ruins. The combination of triangle and circle is believed to represent the beginning of the Automitons. The four-directional radiation may signify the diffusion of power or the binding of consciousness.
“From a single point it begins. To a single point it shall return.”
Eye of Observation
A seal frequently discovered near Automiton recording facilities. The eye-like form represents their obsession with observation and documentation. Locations bearing this seal likely contained important information archives.
“The observer is also the observed. To see is to be seen.”
Spiral of Descent
A seal that functions as a guide to deeper layers. The spiral indicates infinite descent, while the horizontal lines mark depth levels. Following this seal leads to deeper strata, though return is not guaranteed.
“Down, ever downward. There is no bottom.”
Gear of Mechanism
A seal engraved on Automiton mechanical devices. The combination of hexagon and gear represents their mechanical nature and desire for harmony. Devices bearing this seal are believed to have served particularly important functions.
“The gears continue to turn, even when their purpose is forgotten.”
Seal of the Forbidden
A warning seal carved in restricted areas. The octagonal barrier and crossing lines signify absolute prohibition. Records of those who ignored this seal often end abruptly.
“There are lines that must not be crossed. Not for your safety.”
Crystal of Knowledge
A seal discovered in the depths of research archives. The upper and lower triangles represent the sublimation and precipitation of knowledge, while the central intersection symbolizes the moment of understanding. Meditation before this seal is said to reveal fragments of lost knowledge.
“To know is to shatter. Perfect understanding is perfect collapse.”
Waymark of Pilgrimage
A seal supposedly placed for pilgrims. The cross indicates paths in four directions, while the central star marks the current location. However, the paths indicated by this seal are not necessarily safe.
“All paths lead to one. All paths begin from one.”
Cycle of Eternity
A seal discovered in areas where temporal concepts become distorted. The infinite curve represents endless circulation. Prolonged observation of this seal is said to blur the boundaries between past and future.
“Beginning and end are illusions. Only the eternal now exists.”
Regarding Undecrypted Seals
Many other seals have been discovered, but their meanings remain unknown. It has been suggested that combinations of seals may yield new meanings.
The decryption work continues.
