Dear Royal Spies,
I have enclosed several ciphers from our previous missions and several suggested by current Royal Spies.

Pauper's Cipher

This cipher is a poem of 26 words:

Tom Canty was the Pauper; Edward VI a Prince. They switched clothes and lives. Lessons are learned; adventures had before interrupted coronation With Royal Seal found

To decode, each word is a letter.
Tom - A
Canty - B
was - C
the - D
Pauper - E
Edward - F
VI - G
a - H
Prince - I
They - J
switched - K
clothes - L
and - M
lives - N
Lessons - O
are - P
learned - Q
adventures - R
had - S
before - T
interrupted - U
coronation - V
With - W
Royal - X
Seal - Y
found - Z

Brother of Valor Cipher

This cipher is a transposition cipher. The message is decoded by lining up each five character block and reading downward.

For example:
tnvvh aeeei kassp erows
ccrib aoclu pvsli temcl
iaiut vnnti edetn sffij
fromh rorbe omiel myrro
oeofm rwnov ceerv sllsv

Decoded:
Take captives from orcs
near Cove and from Yew.
Elves will cut timber for
ships built in Jhelom vvv

Cult of Styx Code

Each reagent can be one of two letters.

Batwing.........................C M
Black Pearl.................A J
Bloodmoss.....................T X
Daemon Blood..............L W
Garlic.............................O V
Ginseng..........................I Q
Grave Dust.....................R G
Mandrake Root...............E Z
Nightshade.......................S B
Nox Crystal....................U F
Pig Iron...........................D Y
Spider's Silk..................N K
Sulfurous Ash...............H P

Dexter's Cipher

Each character decodes to the letter above it.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A C D E H I L N O R S T U
/ & ! G H I J K L P Q R 2 3 4 8 9 ? Y Z 1 D E F M N O A B C 5 6 7 S T U V W X

Malag-aste #1
(Substitution)

Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N A B C D E F G H I J K L M 1 3 6 9 &

Malag-aste #2
(substitution)

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z	A	E	I	O	U
26	25	24	23	22	21	20	19	18	17	16	15	14	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	X	?	=	(	)

Crazy Llama
by anok libertine

The llama is a column grid style cipher with a twist (hence the Llama).

Make 5 columns wide begin your message across the columns adding rows till message is finished. Now to encode it... Copy the letters in each column first Down 1st row Up 2nd Down 3rd Up 4th and Down 5th

So the message

"CFC Rules the great lakes shard"

would encode to become

"CLETSD SLGEF CSRAH AKETR UHAER"

Sweet Lil Mary's Cipher
(Substitution)

numbers for vowles - A:1, E:2, I:3, O:4, U:5, Y:6

so the phrase..."how are you this evening" would look like:

"H4W 1R2 645 TH3S 2V2N3NG"

easy to remember

C!N 645 TR1NSL1TE TH3S M2SS1GE, W3TH45T T4 M5CH TR45BL2?

or try this one...
M1NG5S 3S 1 W3S2 2M!*GRINS*

Bookwyrm Cipher
by Martyna Z'muir

This code uses multiple layers to confuse the enemy.

First, all vowels (not Y) are dropped from the message to be encoded.

Example:
"this is encoded"

Becomes:
"ths s ncdd"

Then you use a simple substitution cipher to encode the shortened message.This cipher uses only odd numbers!

B	C	D	F	G	H	J	K	L	M	N	P	Q	R	S	T	V	W	X	Y	Z
41	39	37	35	33	31	29	27	25	23	21	19	17	15	13	11	09	07	05	03	01

Example:
"ths s ncdd"

Becomes:
"1131131321393737"

Since each letter is represented by a two digit number it is easy to match. However, to further confuse the enemy and yet make the code easier for friendlies, a random even number should be inserted at the end of each word.

Example:
"1131131321393737"

Becomes:
"1131130813102139373704"

The decrypting agent need only require the substitution chart and the knowledge to reinsert the missing vowels.

Two-Shifted Cipher
(Simple Substitution)

Plaintext:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Ciphertext:
C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B

Four-box Cipher
(Route Transposition)

Rule: Make columns of four letters going down. Add extra letters at end; X is a good letter for this. Put columns together and read off rows.

Sample:
"Hello James"

becomes

(Grid)
HOE
EJS
LAX
LMX

(Final)
"HOEEJSLAXLMX"
