dark finsterniss	Light Blue Sky
essays by ~S~ustrugiel	essays by Fravia+
Searchers after forbidden knowledge haunt strange, far places, falter down black cobwebbed steps beneath the scattered stones of forgotten sites. The haunted pages and the desolate texts are their shrines, and they linger around the sinister javascripts on uninhabited servers. At times the dark elements of strength, solitude, grotesqueness and ignorance combine to form the perfection of the hideous. In some places of the web have dwelt generations of strange people, whose like the world has never seen. Seized with a gloomy and fanatical belief which exiled them from their kind, their ancestors sought the web-wilderness for freedom. There the scions of a conquering race indeed flourished free... Well, ahem... on a real ~S~ site a small (sortof) "riddle" is imho necessary and welcome (per angusta ad augusta). I sincerely hope you'll have quite a difficult task :-) trying to fetch my own "dark" and "light" essays...

My fellow seekers have worked mighty wonders everywhere and on the ad hoc messageboard, where they went to long ways in order to find all kind of results, some of them quite useful for general searching and seeking purposes (as anyone that will peruse the old threads will quickly realize). Things changed the very moment WayOutThere deduced an almost complete solution of the riddle (some important points are still missing, but it is amazing how much has been found out with so few and in part purposedly confused hints).

WayOutThere's approach (don't read it if you want to solve the riddle on your own) Original: http://fravia.2113.ch/phplab/mbs.php3/mb002?view=extend&num=988233975&thread=988233975 Essay (July 2001): Out of Finsterniss into the Light: [ridd_wot.htm], with a first [comment] by vvf
