Witch Queen Arg

Bungie’s published version of the dossier includes several changes, including the omission of a segment of Doc 4 and corrections to Doc 8. The PDF below represents the recreated lore as it was provided to us through reconstructed strips.

Using the grouping method described below and some clever similarity calculations, we can get close enough to something readable that manual transcription is possible. Data from here.

Tools

• Tool for arranging strips
• API for saving arrangements
• Similarity Explorer (WIP)

Raw Data

• Form responses
• Individual strips pulled from images
• JSON value of individual strips (lightness, one value per pixel)
• JSON value of individual strips (RGB)

Processed Data

• Mapping of image to compressed strings, used by arranging tool.
• Clustering data (lists of strips that are on the same page)
• Unique palettes of 16 colors

There are 30 pages of lore, and exactly 30 unique palettes across all of the strips. By combining images with the same palette, we get groupings that appear to be from the same page.
