Title: Vasbeninlem
Author: James
Magnus,
I have compiled the information from the two Principia Daemonis translations. I consulted with several experts and noted their opinions. Let me know if there are other questions you wanted answered.

Original Ritual:

Imi boe gau reh rox esx

Lae boe han reh bir odb.
A few words were not
found in Bertrand’s
Dictionary, so none of
the translation we have
are complete. I have
taken the liberty of
making a few educated
guesses.
I believe “Guh” stands for ornate patterns, similar to those found on the floor of “the Room of Infinity” in the Xenve An-amo-lem ruins.
Here is a translation with
my notes in parenthesis:
The Ritual to Find the Scorched Ruby:
I. You will find the stones in the rubble.
(Bertrand has explained that “mon,” the word for rubble, is only used to describe willful destruction, usually in war. Possibly, Magincia?)
II. You will enter
Fortress of enemy
brothers.
(I believe this is the gargoyle ruins called Xenve An-amo-lem)
III. You will stand in the
room of statues.
(I am told from various reports there is a room with several statues that was used by a gargoyle artisan.)
IV. You will wake the
fallen artist.
(I believe the artist’s ghost must be woken directly by necromancy. Perhaps someone can be contracted in Umbra?)
V, You will lead him to
the room of infinity.
(I am told there is a prophetic room with a lemniscate or infinity sign carved into the floor.)
VI. You will place the stones in the sign.
(Based on previous reports, I would place the stones in the center of each half of the lemniscate)
VII. The artist will carve
the answer.
(I’m not sure what will happen, but it is possible that the artist will carve a new statue or simply unearth a previous work. Since the reports mentioned a statue in the dungeon talked, it is possible that talking to the statue will be necessary. A few possible words that may be necessary: kal – hello, lok – speak, lap – stone, and ski – knowledge.)
I suggest sending
combat-capable agents on
this mission. Since the
lives in Xenve An-amo-lem
did not end happily, it is
possible that any spirits
that remain will be
violent. The ritual is also
of demonic origin, making
it dangerous. There are
also Conclave demons to
worry about. Good luck!
