Notes 1 · 11:35pm Nov 3rd, 2015

I spent two laborious weeks trying to encode this all by hand, so please forgive the lateness. I eventually had to use an encryption site to get it done, which makes things a bit less interesting, but I think you all will find things a bit more challenging next time, when the clue for the key is a bit less obvious. With that in mind, I give you the first pages of an ancient and long-forgotten accounting of the years shortly after the Rebellion of Twilight Sparkle, known to those who follow her as Twilight Everstar.

The next entry, to be made in one week, will be using a different keyword than the one we have used here. The clue is as follows.

"One lifts its lamp beside the door, one the tombs of kings does survey. One calls to remember Stalingrad, another ponders eternal, cast in bronze. They stare without seeing, and speak without words. From nothing they are born, and to nothing they return, in the passage of time. One of their number is called what?"
