Some of the pillars that comprise the corridors of the four floors of the abyssal ruins are colored purple and marked with mysterious letters. These letter can be transliterated into letters of the roman alphabet using the correct cipher. When read the correct way (right to left, bottom to top) the sentences from each pillar can be gathered into a coherent message. Note that the cipher changes slightly between floors: when one moves up a floor the symbols move "down" one in the roman alphabet so for example if two separate symbol corresponded to the letter G & H on one floor, on the floor above they would correspond to F & G and on the floor above that they would correspond to E & F respectively. It should also be noted that a small percentage of the symbols used do not appear to have a corresponding letter and are denoted by numerical placeholders i the translated message below, though it is possible that they are logograms or numbers. Interestingly, though, the positions of two of the unknown symbols - denoted by placeholders ③ & ④ below - swap positions between Black & White. | Some of the pillars that comprise the corridors of the four floors of the abyssal ruins are colored purple and marked with mysterious letters.
