When you craft an item, the

When you craft an item, the glow surrounding said item is identical to the glow surrounding a player when charging an attack.

There are still spiral motifs in the environment. For example, Wolver Dens have spirals on the blocks surrounding the "battlefield" party button, and there are some spiral tiles in Arenas.

at the far right lower corner of Haven, near the Alchemy machine, there's a spade/shovel!

and the entrance to Haven is blocked, marked off with flares and with a Spiral Warden look-alike... what is the city being protected from? or are those things there to keep the knights from leaving?!?

#10...

For #10, have you ever noticed those purple markings on the floor in a few levels that look like sorcery or something? I bet that it has to do with those, and you can interact with it somehow; although nobody has figured out how...

What about the loading screen...

What about the loading screen when you enter Haven or the Basar, on the bottom right side you can see a snipe which is flying like a normal bird, unlike the other snipes which fly like "helicopters" (i dont know how to explain their flying style otherwise)

those squares look a lot like those squares in Unknown Passageway. maybe the black square stuff in unknown passageway are corrupted energies?

Yeah, Snipes Again

Well, think about this: How the heck do snipes' wings move like that?!? Imagine what their skeletal structure must be like! Everyone just takes for granted that "yeah, okay, snipes' wings can spin 360 degrees and still be attached to their bodies. Normal birds do that all the time, right?" How?!?

Well Ubernerd....

Whose to say they aren't just machines like 99.9% of everything on Cradle?
2 sticks + Duct tape + gear =
"we've designed a new weapon to distract the Knights! its called a Snipe!"

ALSO In many stories a made up/ make-believe bird is usually referred as a Snipe and are vibrant colors.

I might be on to something...

PINK crystals? Blasphemous!

Ok guys, this may not exactly relate to number 10 , but it's something really cool I noticed. First of all, we've all seen that Trojans have a pink crystal in their back, but we kind of take it for granted that it's a type of crystal we have never seen before. Secondly, everytime you kill a boss, or even a Trojan, what color is the explosion that follows? PINK! Lastly, in any dark city levels, those weird runes on the floor near crystals look pretty sure, but what color are they two? PINK! There has to be something going on here... Do you guys thing I'm onto something or not? Please comment.

EDIT so I found a few other things that are pink in the game. T3 gremlin shields are pink, and so is everything that has an impenetrable force field (except mecha knights of course, those shields can be broken). Also, what is the color of gran Faust aka coolest weapon in game? You guessed it.

just sayin i saw some things that could be #10.
At moorcraft, there is a ghostly railroad track on the very west side. There is also a railroad track leading to rubble in the arcade and guild hall. Plus, on some levels, there is a blue flashing star down below the surface...
Have you ever noticed that you haven't added Jambay as a friend yet too... i don't get that either

For enlarging an syndrome of searching for deep sense. It was a snipes who creates the heaven. Because only they lives in buildings. and buildings haven't doors, only a windows, maybe those windows are doors??? So this is the answer, snipes have intellect and they a creators of heaven.

So we can say that there are five (or six) intelligent races on Cradle
!. Gremlins
2. Merchants (not sure which race they are)
3. Sprites
4. Snipes
5. Devilites
6. Spiral knights
And I will not be surprised if there are more of them.

about glows on the floor.....

About glows on the floor..... its simple, this is a signs of dark rituals. If you will talk with a spookat in the moorcroft, there are in dialog will be a notice about some dark ritual. And a descriptions of some levels (Dark city for example) reads about dark rituals with unknown assignment. You say that in shadow lairs are same signs??? So i starting understand why the shadow falls over Cradle...

2 = "Strangers" Incidentally,

2 = "Strangers"

Incidentally, all the stranger's faces are masks, and they speak a language that sounds like a combination of a tape deck played in reverse mixed with a projector. (If you pay close attention, it always sounds like they're loading a cassette before they speak.)

About the only understandable word in their language is "D'nik", which is kind of like "Thank you".

I always thought they say "dann nicht" (German for "well... then not") with weak pronounciation.
Also they sometimes say "thank you"... at least if you listen carefully and have some imagination.
Also I sometimes hear "gagner" (French for "to win").

Something at the core

Think about it, at least ONE person sees it everyday.

Also, have you noticed that at the area overlooking the core (Where the view changes to directly above), there is an elevator. The kind of elevator that you ARRIVE on.

Now think, why would you go directly to the core if there isnt anything to do there?

Fact #11 and #12

11. The Weapons in the "Troika" line are almost identical to The Darknut sword (miniboss version) in the "Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess".

12. The "Edge" swords (Hot Edge, Static Edge, Vice versa) somewhat resemble the Razor Sword from "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask".

I know, I'm a huge Zelda nerd.

The edge swords are identical

The edge swords are identical to fire and shock mechas swords, adding on to Lord's post.

Also, about what strangers say, I notice things like Can-dee (candy), Sunny-D (lol?), An-teek (antique). Anyone treid playing them backwards? I wanna know...
Also (lots of alsos...) strangers' voices sound very mechanical, meaning they are not true people of the world and some other species made them....
Snipes?
Gremlins?
Vanny?
