Good work, Potok.
On to the next bit!

Spoiler for The boy knew! (This is a spoiler of Speculation)

When sun is set
And darkness falls
No Witch may ever
Haunt these halls
With life behind
Not dead, forsooth--
They all become
__ ______ ____!*

I didn't include the last line as a legitimate spoiler alert. All along I was blinded by WoD/WoS's misdirection.

I'm just surprised it took us that long to find it (pun intended).

Spoiler for Hi Molly

I missed the first chapter and tried to go through it to try and understand this a bit better, but it's much easier when you're playing in real time. My question is this.....Where are these rhymes coming from? Thanx.

Spoiler for My Rhymes

Are me playing ball with the Witch. He speaks in riddles and rhyme, I respond in kind...

Or something.

This whole story is a mystery. But it's also a lot of mysteries.

This next spoiler is speculation, but I might advise against reading it if you're trying to single handedly solve the whole puzzle from the beginning (not because of any Truth contained herein, necessarily).

Spoiler for Inside the rabbit hole

The boy referred to "El Dorado" on more than one occasion. El Dorado doesn't refer to the Golden City, but the Golden Truth (or perhaps the Golden One [perhaps a personification of the Golden Truth]). Remember that this is mostly speculation.

The Witch was supposed to take us all (L.V., Ocean, et al) to El Dorado (per the boy). With the order of time as I perceive it, those who were sitting at the table in the future were being told a story and we had to figure out the "truth" of it by posting theories in Blue Truth and being corrected or confirmed by the Red Truth.

It's my goal to tie all three of these locations together.

Annabel does not make a physical appearance (from what I remember) in the Room of Six Locks. I place this scene chronologically in the middle of the other two. That doesn't really matter. What does, though, is that I want to theorise that El Dorado is a place you can be (maybe not physically). Perhaps the third scene (with the truths) was in the Golden Truth (or approaching it). There isn't enough information yet, but I'd wager that El Dorado refers directly to either the Golden Truth itself or some master of the Golden Truth.

You should also be prepared for seemingly random Blue Truths if we are ever to duel again.

(I will post something more substantive later, after work, but...)

The Golden Truth is not the truth it seems -
A trickster's bright façade, a cloak for lies.
The Golden City is a ghost of dreams;
Seek not the lost, nor trouble them to rise.

You seek the place that hides my spell,
Where safe and secret souls abound -

I got the same symbols as Potok. Would have posted but my internet was down. Kudos to Potok.

Spoiler for My answer

Hidden from the eyes of those yet unworthy of finding it!

Forever my eyes shall be
Lost in sure obscurity.
It once was a long, lost Friend
Shall never upon us call again.
Be yet prepared for what may be
Found broken and alone like me.

For those worthy of finding it: Utter not these words in public!

So i'm not sure if we should be answering or guessing these at all, but here goes:

Spoiler for the poem

Where safe and secret souls abound - Eternal City, to never be found. (or) forever lost, to never be found. (forever more, in Potok we trust)

As for El Dorado, i understood it as the place the vikings would call Valhalla, the catholics heaven, the promised land, but for witches. I am not sure if we need to give it any significance yet, but if my assumption is correct, we probably do not. Again if it's correct, the question would be, are there any conditions for entering El Dorado (as in not doing sins to go to heaven i believe) and further more, do all witches want to end up there, is it a positive place only, does it inclue a "hell" component, to punish the ones, who dont meet the conditions ?

For once, in caution, I agree
