I haven't forgotten you. I'll shed some more light on this counter-thing in the next few days. First I need some sleep though, as the last 100+ hour working week is taking its toll
I'll confirm the most important piece of information right now though:
The orrery in the background shows you that we are dealing with planets. It's in fact the Armillogion device, although not all of it is shown (which may have been confusing).
The letters that popped up formed a list of names with +'s after some of the names. It's the list of known planets in the MO world, and their moons, not to mention Sunna (the sun). Of course, you couldn't be sure that they were planets, but the orrery in the background should have pointed you in that direction.
The lyrics in the musical staff mentions Nave twice. "Nave" is a special word in the text, as it's the only word that is represented somewhere else, namely in the list of "planets". A song about another planet is not impossible, but a song about "the world" is much more plausible.
So, first out:
Nave is the name of the MO world
Nave as a name (as most other important names in MO) has several meanings and references:
In the past people believed the MO world was the center of the universe (a geocentic model), and as such the planet was the Nave/hub of the universe. Although this theory is now mostly abandoned (for a heliocentric model, like the Armillogion), the name still lives on.
Nave is also the central part of a church, i.e. the area reserved for Mortals (as opposed to the clergy or the sanctuary).
Nave is the ship of mortals that travels through space and time.
Nave is of course also the "navel" - the central part or point of everything, and what connects the fetus to it's mother.
I have to say I'm deeply impressed by the work you've done in this thread. You're setting a very high standard for the "quests" to come
Next up, some info regarding the Armillogion.
