If you are also interested in the essence of all these records, then this is an encrypted message associated with number systems and the Caesar cipher. There are several ways to decipher it, but the essence is the same: "For the sake of the nation, we cannot give up this heavenly power, but we have failed" . Players speculate that the entry may refer to both the fall of the kingdom of Vindagnir and the history of Caenri'ah, as it was this civilization that created the Guardians of the Ruins.
