Poor english speakers... (In search of spoilers)

[Samael]

Awww, feel free to add your thoughts!!
Don't want to preempt anyone.

[Michael]

You don't need to mark spoilers extra, the topic already explains that

[Pompe]

Interesting read all in all about the revelation of the past. Hopefully more people will write their thoughts on that.

Now onto something more specific but still connected:

The Cathedral of Thought – does the ramielite order book say anything more on this matter?

[Samael]

@Waffi: Yeah... well, wanted to be extra cautious. ;P

And the order book does in fact say a lot more about the Cathedral of Thought.
But I am sensing that Michael is already answering that question so I'll wait for his answer before we both post simultaneously again..

[Michael]

Well, I am not, but all right.

The following is extracted from Uriel's translation of the section Ramielites from the menu. It hadn't been revised and the Scriptura-Potestates are not done yet, but perhaps it can help you out. There are some new potestates, so...

The Cathedral

One of the Ramielites' most fascinating abilities are their individual „Cathedrals“ erected in the „land beyond the horizon“.
Though certain areas and function exist in each Cathedral, they are built by the individual angel's imagination and desires and therefore don't require to share the same optical references.
The older an angel is and the more heavenly signatures he/she has, the deeper it can reach in his or her own cathedral and the more the angel can build up and use.
Each Cathedral contails a „hall of light“, a place, the Ramielite can invite other Ramielites to talk to them. The bordering Amphores represent the entire knowledge of all Ramielites, so called Chambers contain experiences made by all Ramielite angels, that ever lived.
With the receipt of the „Sigil“ the angel is able to add his/ her own experiences to the giant pool.
Receiving the „Scriptura“, Ramielites can go even further, into the so called „Nimbus“. Here knowledge can be found, that has not been added to the Cathedrals on purpose. It is a rather difficult challenge to seize knowledge whirring around freely in the land beyond the horizon and even if it can be found, it does not always seem to be valuable at all.

Ramielites potestates

If an angel wants to make use of the potestates
Oracle

Prophet

The character can predict events in all likelihood.

Champion of the Lord

The character can sense the probability of a martial operation and therefore is in advantage of his/ her opponent.

[Pompe]

Thanx, it will take some time to digest all the info. I'll return in time.

[Uriel]

Ahhhm, as far as I remember, I had some problems understanding the potestates- even if German is my mothertongue. I believe, that there are some mistakes in it, concerning WHICH information can be received by which potestate. I only recently realised, that one has to distinguish between the angel's KNOWLEDGE and the angel's EXPERIENCE- I mistook it for the same, but there seems to be a difference.
I did not yet reconsider the translated parts from that point of view, but I will work it out as soon as I find the time.

Greez,

Uriel

[Codicilla]

I'll have a look at it the day after tomorrow...

(another english-speaking member ready to work if there's need for a helping hand)

[Ragdaj]

any news about what is Dreamseeds, Infernos and so on ?

[Codicilla]

No, not yet...
There are some new dreamseed-creatures which are intruduced in the book "Codex Urbanis", but as far as I know nothing new on their background.
Guess we just have to wait...

[katsol]

Hi!
My name's Katia and I'm writing from Chile!
After long and fruitless hours of searching for any info on one of my favorite games, I came across this forum.... boy, was I glad to finally read something that I could understand!! Please do keep posting spoilers, we are so starved for information regarding this game!! I totally fell in love with Engel when it first came out and was so disappointed when they decided not to continue publishing it.....
Regards
Kat

[Samael]

Wow! Engel all around the world!

I bid you a very warm welcome here at our lovely little forum!
Feel free to ask anything you want concerning this great game. I'm sure noone here will want you to die from starvation!

Maybe, possibly seeing that more and more English-speaking fans stumble across this forum will trigger our intern transaltion-project once again?

Anyways, welcome, Katsol!

There are some new dreamseed-creatures which are intruduced in the book "Codex Urbanis", but as far as I know nothing new on their background.

Only a confirmation about what we already knew after Dreamseed and Bello Britannico, the Dreamseed is not only insect stuff, it's everything people fear, in the cities there are even creatures kind of being darkness.
Apart from this the conflict Orders vs. Liga Urbanis ist getting more serious.
