Looking for info. Help appreciated.
| Beware the false serpent.
-Hel
| Eventually I planned to return to Glitch City, but as you know immigration to Glitch City was illegal for a while, during which time I found other cases to solve. Now that I am free once again, I returned to Glitch City to finish my first and only unsolved case.
I am left with only this one clue, and if anyone is willing to meet for a drink and shed some light on this "Nidhogg" or "Yggdrasil" I'd be immensely grateful. Please keep me posted.

A few minutes ago I believe, there was a thread opened up titled "Caesar Died On The 15th Of March."
The OP's text was in Caesar cipher, so I decrypted it and that's what it says. I feel like it has importance to what you're dealing with right now.
I have a bad feeling about this.

According to Norse mythology, Nidhogg is a serpent that gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil. The quote says "Beware the false serpent."
I don't know man, it makes sense in my head.
| >>242311 That actually does seem to make sense! Thanks for the info, although what it actually means is still a mystery I guess.
| I do remember my case was connected to the Chain 99ers, although from what I hear they've been inactive since Golden Knuckles defeated their leader. Does anyone know if Golden Knuckles is still alive? I'd like to pick their brain over a drink.
| Well given events that you've missed, if the case of missing lilims was the same thing GK was investigating, then Nidhogg wasnt behind it. It was this other corp Americatrade or something. It's been a bit since their HQ blew up into a tree. -CN
| >>68de5c Really glad to know GK solved the kidnappings, but the last point you mention is interesting. You say this company blew up into a tree? From my research Yggdrasil is a tree from Norse mythology. A connection maybe?
| If that's the case I wonder how it fits in the larger scheme of things.

Irl its the tree in midnight.
But i think in Norse myth its the
World tree.
The tree that holds all of the nine realms.
Nidhogg or Níðhöggr as stated by the other g/u/rl is the great serpents gnawing on its three roots.
In Norse myth,its said that the roots are trapping the beast from the world.
It is also said in norse myth that nidhogg is the Herald of Ragnarok
twilight of the gods.

Er, I think that's how the myth goes, but in this case, Nidhogg and "Yggdrasil" are unrelated. Nidhogg is more of a neutral force based off my Intel. They weren't responsible for the kidnappings last year, they are a reactionary force of anything else. -CN
| Nidhogg chewed on the roots of Yggdrasil. It is not Nidhogg that is the Herald of Ragnarok that would be the other serpent, one of Loki's children. Common misconception really. Jormgunder, the world serpent. Are you thinking about the right nidhogg though? The one allegedly responsible for ending the 24 hour war? Or someone else?
-Serpent in the garden
| Other fun fact. There is an eagle on the other side of the world tree that hates Nidhogg. There is a squirrel that delivers messages to the other sometimes saying wrong things to sew chaos.
-Serpent in the garden
| That squirrel is Ratatoskr.
| >>b5c496 All very interesting, but who or what exactly is the "Nidhogg" that ended the 24 hour war? My knowledge on the topic is limited and I've only heard about the 24 hour war in passing.
-Red Ronin
| >>69f9f0 Do you mean this tree is located in the Midnight district when you mention midnight? Pardon me but I prefer to ask actual people who've experienced these events rather than check the Glitch City Archives.

Theres only really rumors about it. It will be a year ago last month I believe. Most people barely remember. They remember it started with a White Knight rebellion from Eden that killed the White Knights and gave rise back to the GCPD. Plus the fact is was the most damage in the captiol district in history of GC.
-Serpent in the garden
| I think the Caesar Cipher shit is unrelated. Nobody would use something with the name "Caesar" in it if their first hint was with Norse mythology. That would just be a bad riddler.
Also this Serpent dude is right. There is a difference between the world serpent and the one gnawing the roots. If I remember correctly the world serpent is always biting his own tail, so him gnawing the roots is kind of impossible.

>The image is of a serpent coiled in a circle eating its own tail
| Roots of the tail
| >>243623 could be unrelated, but maybe the "caesar" in that post was to give a clue to what type of cipher was used? Just thinking out loud here.
| Ok all this talk about serpents made me research about the world serpent or "Jormungandr" as it's better known. It is said that it is one of the children of Loki. There is a clear difference between Jormungandr and Nidhogg as mentioned in previous posts, but it gets interesting. I checked out this caesar cipher message myself and it turns out it's written by someone called Hel.
| Here's the interesting part: Hel is another child of Loki. A daughter in fact.
-Red Ronin
| >>243700
Well if their name is Hel, then of course it's related! I didn't have that information when calling it unrelated. Now it's starting to make more sense.

The horse is also Loki's offspring, but I agree that a Fenrir would probably appear before that.

| Any idea how to access the Glitch City Archives though? >(ooc: I mean the archived posts)
| Actually never mind. I got access to it. Silly me it was so easy.

| >>243722
I think they just used that kind of cipher for the convenience of it. If they picked Baconian or Vigenere instead this convo would had never started. I think the cipher was just a means to an end. -CN
| Riddeling.

>CN is correct, btw.
>The Tree in Midnight District highly unrelated to the City itself.
>Outside of Ameritrade Robotics Corporation using it.
>If you would like though.
>I'm sure you have more questions about it.
>I can arrange for you to meet with Gold Knuckles. He might be able to connect some loose threads for you.
>-HAKASE
| >>243970 Yes please! I'm open to obtaining any information as possible. If what the others say is true, that the Lilim kidnappings were not related to the rogue AI, then perhaps I should be asking different questions instead. I would be immensely grateful if you could set a meeting up. Let me know if you reach GK.

| Some of you might remember me, but initially I was on the trail of several kidnapped lilims. I received a tip telling me to look outside Glitch City. I was on the verge of a breakthrough where I met an AI who was possibly the cause of the kidnappings, but just as I was about to get answers the AI went offline. I thought all hope was lost until I received an email that contained only one sentence: "Find Nidhogg. Ask about Yggdrasil".
