I totally take credit for noticing "citadel", by the way. >_< And I dub this weird shit "The Citadel Mystery", because it sounds cooler than "scavenger hunt in the coding", "stuff that makes no sense in E6", "that L and W thing", and "weird clues".
<Strayed> I've even heard people speak of a
<Strayed> souless and nameless being that
<Strayed> wanders the Way endlessly,\.\. moving
<Strayed> from citadel to citadel.
<Impossible`> Hm.
<Impossible`> I remember that... Where was it again?
<Strayed> I wonder if the phantom's blade is supposed to be a citadel
<Strayed> it connects to the lower way.
<Strayed> Episode 3
<Strayed> outside of matalan
<Impossible`> Oh, right.
<Impossible`> For a moment I thought that they were mentioned again.
<Impossible`> But LUN IS EVIL, so he abandoned the citadels.
<Impossible`> But that doesn't make sense.
<Impossible`> Because the Phantom's Blade isn't ON The Way.
<Impossible`> The Arm of Estrana is, but that's not a citadel.
<Strayed> or is it? MUAHAHA.
<Impossible`> The Phantom's Blade is in The City, which is in Rhue's sword.
<Strayed> But where is the sword?
<Impossible`> ...
<Impossible`> The sword isn't a citadel.
<Strayed> pff, you're no fun.
<Impossible`> It's a Shadow Sword, that's why it does that.
<Impossible`> But you're right, the Phantom's Blade DOES seem like a citadel.
<Impossible`> If we assume that The City itself, the fact that it's really Estrana, is because Rhue's sword absorbed the essence of the city...
<Impossible`> Could Rhue's sword have absorbed the essence of a citadel, too?
<Impossible`> But citadels can't be destroyed.
<Strayed> Yeah, or entered.
<Impossible`> The fact that nobody can get inside them makes the Phantom's Blade sound like one.
<Impossible`> It had that weird barrier.
<Strayed> the 6 flow aura.
<Impossible`> Why DID Lyrra have the power to get through there? Just because she's Jeruh's sister?
<Impossible`> Deus Ex fucking Machina...
Edit: The clues were found in the order L E D A T I C, citadel backwards. So much for any significance that rearranging the letters in order might have had when used with the L and W bit...
