Harbinger language/symbol translation

keep the good work fellow scholar

I like that new translation a lot! Well Done!

I think the spinner text may be referring to land that GoD had already traversed, and now that he's shut in a prison his faithful are now free to walk throughout it and claim the land as theirs. It's as if GoD forged the land and the other harbingers claimed it. This could explain why the harbingers eventually gained access to the portal GoD built.

"GoD has journey throughout the land.
Now GoD is shut in his eternal prison.
GoD's faithful now scatter across the journeyed land"

Many are trying to read symbols linearly, like we are used in our language, though that is not the case for Harbinger symbols. For example:






This should be taken into account.

Edit:
Made a small typo in one of the pictures, dont mind that.

So nothing since august huh? I'm curious about what the post by GGG that specified about learning about the language "before it's too late"? They've never done mid-league events before, so I thought it would have to be something about the items in-game, but they've all been translated, so what else could it be? Maybe they just meant next league?

Change "for" to "have/will have", and you won't need to juggle pieces around. At least in those 2 cases.

maybethe "thunder doesnt mean "thunder". what if this symbole more describe the attributes of it like emmidiatly suddently or unexpected. then the following text would say "Time" and "unexpected" and something else. On the third symbole you cant identify something. So the third Symbole could be unknown, then the text would make sense.... then it says
"time" and "unexpected" and "unknown" ,Freely formulated someday the unknown appeared unexpected.


I hope this helps :)

i agree with the other poster about the third symbol being Wraeclast. I have the map as my desktop background, it lines up very well with it. You can even see Oriath as the little diamond blip in the SE corner. And the bay in the NE, and the two other islands on the west coast.

Here are some facts and thoughts, especially for those who cant or dont play the league (cant see everything by themselves in game), but still are curious about the harbingers:

The "Beachhead" map contains 4 areas filled with neutral monoliths and ground symbols (they are different yet have some resemblance to language symbols): First one is the central area where "stargate" stands and three more areas positioned around. there are two groups of ground symbols in the arena: the ones that do not change and are larger (RED) and smaller ones that change (GREEN). Even if symbols change into different ones they are still angled at the same directions (dont know if that means anything).



The central symbol has three layers and might mean an area of reduced beats influence:



It looks suspicious to me that all maps have the same affix "6 additional harbingers". This affix doesn't variate, why write it at all? And what 6 additional harbingers? I've counted 8 and 9 harbingers coming through the gate. There are 6 unique equipment items which allow player to control 6 different harbingers, maybe it has to do something with this?

A detailed look at "stargate":



Edit:
There is a "harbinger of disorder" beneath Oriath and scattered research journals of Templar Davaro https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Research_Journal. Didn't find anything meaningful but maybe you will. Maybe it is Kitava's harbinger, after all Kitava is god of corruption.

funny you mention this, I just notice these patterns on the ground.
I was wondering if maybe we place the harbinger uniques on the ground on them if it opens a door or something. Some of the symbols looks sorta like the ones on the uniques.

The problem is, nothing else functions like this in the game, as far as we know. If they were making an easteregg, would they really use some new undiscovered mechanic?

It's a clone of stargate
