introduction 👋
Here is an organisation of all lore-related media from Whitepine, the information obtained from them, and how the aforementioned information was obtained. Some images / videos are not kept here as we haven't found them to contain any tasty information, and they would be too large to store. Contact skifli@discord if you have any questions!

From the 1st to the 11th of August 2024, 1 message was posted daily to #ivory-content, each consisting of only 1 image (apart from the 4th which was a video). This does not include the 10th, which was never found. That being said, it is not strictly needed, for reasons that are explained below. The media is as follows (view before reading on):
- 01/08/2024 (edited)
- 02/08/2024 (edited)
- 03/08/2024 (edited)
- 04/08/2024 (edited)
- 05/08/2024 (edited)
- 06/08/2024 (edited) (The Emberton Wire - Noblemans New Expidetion)
- 07/08/2024 (edited)
- 08/08/2024 (edited)
- 09/08/2024 (edited)
- 11/08/2024 (edited)
As mentioned before, the 4th was a video, so instead linked above is a frame. Again, the 10th was never found, and the 6th was accompanied by an Emberton Wire post. Again, more information on that later.
secret message 🔑
If you increase the exposure on all these images (which is done in the edited versions), you will see some hidden characters. From the 3rd to the 8th, you will also see some characters on signs. The characters on signs are as follows:
- 3rd:
ywcwy - 4th:
oohio - 5th:
unalu - 6th:
tnl - 7th:
g - 8th:
e
The 8th day's sign character is actually not on a sign, but in the clearing on the left of the image, just below the vertical middle. However, it uses the same font as a character on a sign would.
Hopefully arranged like that it's easier to see the pattern - they spell out
you wont change will you, when arranged like so.
secret video '1' 🤫
In terms of the other characters on the
images, when arranged linearly you get 3qw99S3e-*k, with the asterix for the
missing 10th day. This points to the secret video titled 1, posted on ivoryfrill, with the asterix replaced
by an 'a'. This character was found by brute-forcing the
YouTube ID (by yours truly :D) on day 7.
6.png (The Emberton Wire) 📰
This post contained an image of an article from a newspaper - The Emberton Wire. The article is titled
NOBLEMANS NEW EXPIDETION. On the left of the newspaper name is a faint @, and upon
searching online, a Twitter account named The Emberton Wire was found. This is
confirmed to be correct, as there is a full-page image of the article, posted ~13 minutes
before the day's image.
The Twitter account says "unbiased, fair, and logical news organization" (in the description), and is
located in Emberton, Hale. These are, separately, real places in England. The only typos in the article
are expidetion and presteige which have an 'e' in the wrong spot (possible
link to the spelling below).
9.png (0.zip) 📁
This is the only post with accompanying text - tomorrow. It also broke the pattern of the
characters for the secret message, but this is understandable as it was fully spelt out by the
8th. If you read the characters in the background out left to right, you get
seead://hhh.awlypextypnclqe.nzx/aczupne/1-7483223/.
If you apply a Caesar cipher shift of -11 to the characters in the URL (with wrap around for the digits from 9 to 0), you get a Planet Minecraft map named '0'. The account, xx_SkeletonSquid_xx, , was created on 09/08/2024, and cannot be found elsewhere. The map is tagged as Other and an Air Structure. The description is:
I realy [sic] don't know what to s [sic] type here theyu [sic] say i need to get 150 charactersa [sic] to be apble [sic] to post my pa!?!?!? [sic] my map*!?!?!?! lmao... um so yeah i love suiq [sic] suid [sic] i mean i mean squids, sory for typoes [sic] im 4
"[sic]" indicates that this typo was present in the original source.
The project links to a "Mediafiwe" folder. On the 10th
of
August 2024 @07:57:16 (GMT), a file called 0.zip was uploaded to this folder. It
contains a
Minecraft 1.11 world; opening it spawns you on an island with a chest that is signed by
ivorycello.
Looking at player data also shows d0e628d4-40b6-4582-a1d5-4043c7dc6b48 (Ivory's
UUID) as
having played, further confirming this.
The world, which was created in MC version 1.11 using the void preset, contains a small taiga platform with spruce trees, grass, and flowers (dandelions + poppies). In the center of the platform at the coords 8 114 6 lies a chest that contains a book. The book is 30 pages long and contains the following dialogue (one line per page):
