Leader- The Casual Obsession (Khyber)
The winner has claimed the prize! Congratulations to Archangeluriel who claimed the prize late last night after the Friday-night stream!
What
For the month of October- I am running a contest during my DDO Streams. The winner will receive a code which grants a month of VIP!
When
I’ll be streaming every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8 PM EST.
Where
Monday: Catch me on DDO Stream twitch.tv/ddostream
Wednesday & Friday: I’ll be on my personal stream twitch.tv/griglok_
How to Participate
During each of my streams, I’ll be revealing a new clue for a puzzle. There will be multiple puzzles, each with an independent solution. The solutions to these puzzles reveal a puzzle within the puzzles. The goal is to solve each individual puzzle, and then use those solutions to solve the puzzle within the puzzle.
The day following each stream, all revealed clues will also be posted in this thread on the DDO forums. This will give the players who watch the stream a head start on the folks who don't tune in.
How do you win?
The first person to DM me on Discord with the correct answer to the puzzle within the puzzle will receive a code which grants a month of VIP!
Puzzle within the Puzzle - Answer in Spoiler Below-->
“Six shadows, six lights, and between them the Name.
Those who would know it must read with both eye and soul;
for truth walks clothed in metaphor.”
Puzzle 1 - Answer in Spoiler Below-->
“In the age before numbers, I was the prophet of chance.
My altar was oak, my temple— flat and broad.
I wear many faces of equal devotion,
each an eye that beholds another.
When cast upon the world, I reveal no future,
yet the destiny of soldiers rests upon my symmetry.
The faithful who seek balance shall count my gaze
and find the measure of uncertainty.”
Puzzle 2 - Answer in Spoiler Below-->
“When labors pause between footsteps,
I am born but a sliver of time,
too small to remember, too long to forget.
Thrice a number I am, yet less than three score,
and then the bell resumes its sermon, signaling the end.
I dwell where patience meets anticipation,
a silver space between the face's twin hearts.”
Puzzle 3 - Answer in Spoiler Below-->
“I dwell in darkness before a fall,
and do not cease my weaving.
The world trembles on gossamer strands—
north, south, east, west, and the four between.
My throne is geometry incarnate;
my crown, the trembling dew.
When one thread breaks, the pattern fails.
My number the anchors that hold me aloft.”
Puzzle 4 - Answer in Spoiler Below-->
“Two kings whisper in the dark,
a queen watches, and the fool listens.
Beyond me lies ruin, before me, fear.
Those who seek excess fall to shadow;
those who stop at the gate of my number
ascend the gambler’s heaven.
In my number, fortune balances upon a blade.”
Puzzle 5 - Answer in Spoiler Below-->
“I am the wheel that turns but never moves.
The lion guards my first gate,
the fish my last.
My number the sentinels that mark my passing,
each an allotment of time according to it's measure, each a house of heaven.
I close upon myself, and dawn envelops dusk without leaving my domain.”
Puzzle 6 - Answer in Spoiler Below-->
“I am the beginning that devours its end.
I was here when the first die was cast,
and I shall mirror its number at the dusk of time.
My secret is repetition,
my law, return.
The first shall be the last,
and the circle shall seal itself in grace.”
Clue the Puzzle within the 6 Puzzles - Answer in Spoiler Below-->
“The word of balance is hidden behind the numbers.
Turn the letters of the faithful toward the dawn, equal to the measure of a truth told to Kvothe,
and mark their order as the scholars do.”

Each number equals that number minus three. 6, 15, 8, 21, 12, 6 becomes 3, 12, 5, 18, 9, 3.
Turn the letters of the faithful toward the dawn, equal to the measure of a truth told to Kvothe,
and mark their order as the scholars do.”
Hint I
The answer to each puzzle is a number,
They each point to a letter’s place in the alphabet —
as a scholar would number their lines from A to Z.

Hint II
When the letters are gathered, turn them three steps back toward the dawn —
not forward — for the morning reveals truth in reversal.

Hint III
The first and last numbers are the same, closing the circle.
What they spell is not a person’s name, but a title —
one tied to faith and spellcraft.
