    Hello fellow Wynnians!

    I've decided to put together the pieces of lore we get about the ???-Quest all over Gavel and to find out more about the whole thing overall. While doing my research, I've come across some very interesting stuff.
    All pictures that are mentioned should be down below and in the correct oder.
    Lets begin.

    The lore surrounding the quest
    When starting the quest "Purple and Blue" by talking to Korun, he gives us first insights about the lore. He states that Lake Gylia is surrounded by a potent magic with mystical properties, which is also said in the lore when discovering Lake Gylia.
    By doing the quest we find out that a meteor fell into the middle of the lake, and a villager called Nedlom tells us that the lake creatures have been granted intelligence, longevity, and made them more villager-like.
    Korun later reveals that the white rock to the south-east of the lake was spotted by three scientists in their observatories, and over the course of thei furious investigation, it ultimately drove them insane. His final statement, that they are now lost to chicken, mushrooms and whatever else, leave no room for speculation that those three guys are Yahya, Nohno and Mehme. Notice though that it is not revealed what Mehmes obsession is.

    Before the rework of the ???-Quest, the observatories Korun talks about were part of the whole thing. You can also still find the meteors used in the old quest, scattered around Gavel, where you used to get the meteor shards.

    We also get in touch with another meteor, in the quest "Star Thief" to the north and slightly to the east of Llevigar. A thief who stole a small part of the meteor that landed there turns insane and we have to kill him. The Agent that was sent to the crash site tells us that "meteors fall all over Gavel and come in a variety of colours and potency. [...] Every scientist who has studied them has lost their minds." This supports Koruns statement about the meteors effects on your mind.

    More about the villagers
    Now, when actually doing the ???-Quest, inside of each meteor is a Discovery Log, starting in the blue meteor. Log1 tells us that a person with the initials "YY" has set up Lab1 on this meteor.
    Log2 is from "MM" in the yellow and Log3 is from "NN" in the red meteor. Looking at the consistency of the initials, it is more than safe to say that the three people are Yahya, Nohno and Mehme. Log3 also tells us that Yahya is Nohno's older brother, and that he experiences how Yahya is slowly turning insane. You can also tell that they have done research for atleast 892 days, roughly 3 years.

    At the end of the quest you meet Mehme in his "wooden home" inside the meteor, although there is hardly any wood. He also makes a comment about how he hates mushrooms or chickens, relating to his two brothers. Now you may ask yourself, if Yahya and Nohno both have an obsession, what could Mehme's be? Korun from Lake Gylia doesn't know it and Mehme himself doesn't give off any clear clues about it.
    Over the course of my investigation I stumbled upon two things.
    While doing the quest "From the bottom" in the Thanos Vaults, one merchant tells us how he once traded Bob's Diary for a pack of nuts with a young man called Mehme. At first I though, he may be obsessed over nuts then,(He literally went nuts, sorry :P) but after giving his home a closer look, another thing jumped to my attention.
    His home is basically cube-shaped, with one side leading to the teleporter. On the other three walls you can see item frames with items in them. One side has mushrooms, the other has chicken-related items and on the third wall is a crafting table and an oak log. Putting one and one together, Mehme seems to be obsessed with wood. This would also explain why he calls his home "wooden", when it is clearly not.

    The three villagers seem also to be interested and/or even have come in touch with Bob. Mehme bought his diary and remember that Cluckles, one of Bob's three animals, was given into the hands of Nohno on Rooster island.
    Mooington the cow is located on Skien's island, where you also get the painting that you need in Yahyas house. Lastly, Baab the sheep is located underneath Maro Peaks, which don't seem to play a role in the ???-Quest.

    The three also have a brother called Sohso, according to the wiki and other forum articles, but I sadly couldn't find where he was mentioned in the game.
    He also doesn't seem to play a role other than appearing as a name.
    Only looking at Yahya, Nohno and Mehme then, their names could be something of a hidden message.
    The wiki says it could be related to the saying "Yeah, no, maybe so" (With Sohso in mind), but I found out that it could also say, with the first sillable of each name, Ya No Me -> "You know me" (Without Sohso). Now who could be meant by this remains unknown, atleast I can't think of someone fitting.

    Position of things (Caution: The scientific correctness of this part is NOT guaranteed)
    The average wynnplayer may think to himself now, that all is uncovered, all lore is put into place, the story is clear. But me, being the investigative scientist I am, took an even further glance at things, and found.. alarming results.

    I took a further look at the positions of things. Lets begin with the position of the three brothers.
    When aligning them, nivla forest, rooster island and the white comet in gavel seem to be almost in a perfect straight line. Ok, this can be a coincedence I thought to myself.

    Next I looked at the starting position for the puzzles that lead you to the three comets, one being in the dark forest, one in Llevigar and one in the aldorei outskirts. Notice how these three positions form an almost perfect triangle, with all sides being circa the same length, meaning that all angles in this square are 60°.

    I then connected the spots where the old meteors are. Just an irregular shaped triangle, nothing special. Atleast so I thought...

    I then did something not many would even think about. I put the two triangles together in one picture, and see what forms! A pyramid shaped figure, that seems to be looking to the right. It almost looks like a beam is coming out of it's eye. But where is that beam pointing at? What does that mean? Then it dawned on me.. of course the beam points directly at Lake Gylia! Where else should it point to? Could this perhaps hint at something watching over the lake? Could an alien species, looking like that pyramid shaped thing be responsible for the meteor strikes? Then again.. pyramids are an invalid shape in minecraft, there is only cubes.. but who knows what's possible up there in the sky.

    I also connected the three observatories and noticed the white meteor, the first one the brothers investigated, being in the middle of it. It is almost as if they knew where it would land, having built their observatories in such a planned manner.
    Think also about the fact that they have access to teleporters and put up all these riddles for each meteor. Is this still villagly (not humanly) possible? Or could i t be that the three have received help from the alien beings? Have they sent the meteor so that it lands perfectly in the middle of their observatories? Many questions remain unknown.

    Alright, that shall be the end of my report. I hope you enjoyed it and I could give you some insights on the topic you didnt't know yet ;)
