Linmer Antinmolas
There have been at least two threads regarding this location and how to get there now on the stratics forums.
OSI and the GM's are not saying whether or not it is possible and in one case a GM is reported as saying it was possible to get there so i'm having a look to see if i can find a way along with a few others. The fact Dr Nick is offering five million gp on Europa (same shard as me) for info on how to get there has nothing to do with it.
At the moment i am suffering from RSI which is limiting the amount of game playing i can do so this is an ideal thing to do right now as most of my time is spent thinking which is allowing my arm to rest.
This is where everyone is trying to get to.
Already some people have used a player shard to explore and discovered what may be a teleporter on the left side of the beach.
I also noticed what may be a clue on the beach, could this be a fish symbol?
In other parts of Ilshenar there are drawings on the ground which can be seen on UO, however this could be more subtle and could be a pattern or a picture on a wall or something similar.
Elyssar put this picture on the forums showing another location which we cannot get to.
However does this picture give us more clues? The candles around the pentagram and the 2 statues, 1 black and 1 white maybe clues.
I've seen plenty of white statues like that but none black so far. Anyone seen any?
My first thought was that the pentagram was linked to the one in the abandoned mage tower which is not far from there. My reasoning for that was the fact ThunderClap had said there was a bowl of water on some steps on the beach and there was a bowl of water on a table next to the pentagram in that tower. The biggest problem is if this is the correct place, how to activate the teleporter? A lever or similar nearby or a command word would seem the best bet.
Having hunted around the area and found nothing yet i then decided to look at it from another angle.
What if the black and white statue was a clue and so was the fact the mage tower was abandoned? I decided to check out the wisp dungeon due to the fact it had black and white wisp statues and evil mage's on the second level. Perhaps these are the mage's from the tower? After all, other evil mage's are found in towers.
A quick search of the second level in the wisp dungeon turned up a pentagram and a altar.
In the same room as the altar are these guild stones and statues.
The writing on them is as follows.
1. In Remembrance Of Our Noble Leaders.
2. Cast Out From Our World By Those Who Would Not Believe.
3. The True Path To Order Is Through Chaos And The Cleansing Of All Life.
4. Only Then Can Balance Be Found.
5. We Who Remain True Shall Rise Again.

6. Junin Prince
7. Zendella Kxriss
8. Martoo Saul
9. Miron Vehl
Have found that Junin Prince, Zendella Kxriss and Martoo Saul are mentioned in a book, Prophecy, written by Krys Wyn. Here's what i can find out about it so far.
A Prophecy by Krys Wyn
Last night, after meditating at the Shrine of Spirituality, i noticed an unnatural silence, no birds were singing, the world held its breath
Then, suddenly, a clap of thunder disrupted the silence and a bolt of lightning left me blind.
After this I was shaken, and, behold, a moongate took me in the ether; and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.
And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in the ether, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were eight lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the Eight Virtues And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no creature, not human or orc, not elves or ettin, in the ether, nor on Sosaria, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
And I saw when the man on the throne opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, him saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and she that sat on him had a spear; and her name was Zendella Kxriss: and she went forth conquering, and to conquer, and she brought Hatred.
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the man on the throne say, Come and see.
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from Sosaria, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great halberd, and he was the man of false promises to bring mischief among the races, and his name was Martoo Saul, and he brought Falsehood.
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the man on the throne say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him was called Junin Prince, and he brought Cowardice.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the man on the throne say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over Sosaria, to kill every creature with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of Sosaria.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of their Wargod, for they should be doomed into eternity. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of the sky fell unto Sosaria, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the sky parted as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
And the kings of Sosaria, and the great men, and the rich men, and every bondman, and every free man, and the chief captains of the orcs, and the elven, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from his wrath: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there silence in the ether about the space of half an hour. And I saw the chests which stood on Sosaria; and to them were given mighty powers.
The first chest was opened, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon Sosaria: and the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
And the second chest was opened, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the sea became blood; And the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the ships were destroyed.
And the third chest was opened, and there fell a great star from the sky, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
And the fourth chest was opened, and the sun was smitten, and the moon, and the stars; so as all of them was darkened, and the day shone not for them, and the night likewise.
And I beheld, and heard an voice saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of Britannia by reason of the chests, which are yet to opened!
And the fifth chest was opened, and I saw a star fall from the sky unto Sosaria: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon Sosaria: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
And to them it was given that they should not kill men, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
And I saw another chest opened, and a loud voice of a man was heard, and he sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created ether, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
But in the days of this voice, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of Time should be finished, for Time is halted until eternity.
And the voice which I heard from ether spoke unto me again, and said, Go and take this little book from me, and he gave me the book.
And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
And I took the little book out of his hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and races, and tongues, and kings.

Update It turns out that these four where the members of the Zog Cabal, more info can be found on Stratics and on Tales of the Traveller and the official UO Town Cryer site which i have just found while looking for something else. Read forward from that page for the full story.
So my thoughts currently are:-
The evil mages are what remains of the cult "followers of the Armageddon" driven from the land of Britannia.
Sunsword gave an interview to Online Game Trader where he said this " I would just keep my eyes open for villains…new and ancient" . Nothing to do with finding a way to Linmer, but good news all the same and could involve the characters above.
Either the altar or pentagram in the wisp dungeon may link to the pentagram next to the two statues OR somewhere in this dungeon is a clue to operating the pentagram in the abandoned mage tower.
In the writings there is mention of a strong angel and a throne, Reg Volom and the Etherial Tomb?
Chests are in fact Sarcophagus?
The symbol above the entrance to the Etherial tomb is the same shape as the tomb itself. If you single click on the faces, you get the message "magical gate" except for the top centre one which is also a different style. In the dungeon itself, the throne room is at the location which matches the position of that face. Could a "magical gate" be in the throne room?
The two patterns for the side rooms. No idea if they do anything. Maps and water to be found there.
When Islhenar first open Etherials could be found in the tower next to the Lord Oaks champ location. It also has sea shells hanging off it as well.
Also at the end of the book he mentions other prophecies, more clues?
I am still looking for another black statue in Ilshenar so if anyone spots one, let me know.
Who is Miron Vehl? The unnamed member of the Zog Cabal? Also linked to Blackthorne?
Regarding the fish symbol, its a campfire on the beach. So instead of looking for a fish, should we be looking for another campfire? Theres one in the spider forest and may be more.
Update. There is another campfire just to north of the Honesty moongate. Its even marked on UOAM. Also i turned X ray view on it UOAM and you can see part of the river show as a tunnel. Anyone know how to get to it?
I have decided to try another approach to getting to Linmer Antinmolas. While reading the books at the Tower of Knowledge and exploring it i discovered that there are sparkles similiar to the ones on the beach on the top of the waterfall.
The reason i checked this out was because this waterfall leads to the river "Pormir Harm" which means River of Harmony which could tie in with "Lenmir Antinmolas" which translates to Beginning of Gentle Waters. Its not a good link, but i decided to check it out anyway.
Just for your information, "Pormir Felwis" means River of Lies. If you look at UOAM, these are the only three rivers/lakes not supplied with a translation.
Hope these clues either help you or give you an idea of somewhere else to look,
Hopefully OSI and the GM's do not turn up on Monday and say there is no way to get there.
