Don't mind me, carry on...

Super cool that the "Whisperers in withspace" have been found along with the "Sirens Call".
-images in witchspace and the signal respectively.
"Jewel on the brow" is not something i have seen a verified argument for so far.
Deciphering the clues are needed to proceed along a solid path.
"More clues and it would be a spoiler" tells me we have already been presented with the needed items to solve the riddle.

Mmm, if I read PL correctly then Satan and his legions were expelled from the North side of the Empyrean, where their rebellion started, so Fall should be on the North side and placed at the level of the Empyrean floor. I'm now suspicious of the Greek Winds Compass- it seems to be totally at odds with the axes of Miltons cosmos...Boreas/Notus seems to be vertical!
And if Raxxla is Milton's "pendent world" how long is the "golden chain/staircase"??

The short version: everything seems to be built around a Miltonian Cosmos with the mythical Yggdrasil kind of establishing the layers. It is much like Michael Brookes' famous tattoo. Where and what Raxxla is exactly are still very much a matter of debate. That said, codex seems to provide a few way to investigate that somewhat parallel each other. Beyond that, that is the current state of affairs. Michael Brookes was a huge fan of John Milton's "Paradise Lost".Ahh never mind. I give up. Good luck. o7
Yup how true.Yes, that shows my reason for disbelieving the Greek Winds Compass- North is pointing to the top of the Empyrean. Instead of along the plane of the Empyrean's floor...it should be rotated vertically through 90°. I think that's highlighted if you overlay Fall...if that represents where Satan & his legions were expelled from Heaven it should be on the North side of the Empyrean floor because Milton has the North as the location of their rebellion and expulsion.
I don't think anything is directly broken. I suspect you have way to much data included in your model and it gets cluttered. Remember that FD and MB had a very short time to implement hand-written data in galaxy. Mysteries was not a high priority at release. Releasing a semi-functional game was the priority.Yup how true.
The compass points for North / South I initially thought were just applicable to ‘up and down’ it’s just so odd that these do correlate with the positions of ‘higher gods and lower gods’ aspects building an upper area and a lower area…
But you’re correct, in my only recent reading I now acknowledge that all the compass points ought to align on a 2D plain, from the view point of ‘god’ looking down.
This is why it’s integral to sense check this data. Is it correct; how can we make sure it’s accurate; did the devs do this intentionally; is this broken?
Remember that FD turned off the original PF/DW missions…
Remember there are lots of errors in star positions and various bugs in game.. what is intentional by design, what is simply wrong by accident?!
It’s still very peculiar…why; or am I simply looking for affirmation in game where there isn’t any?
Irrespective the one thing I dislike about this puzzle is the glaring hole in the process; but that is our primary problem, we are dealing with an allegorical puzzle with basically no fixed reference points, in a haystack made of needles, where the ‘obvious’ reference points (DW) turns out to be either broken or simply a lie.
