The Deadpan Chief

The village chief of Phong Gi steadfastly refuses to so much as smile, no matter how much the locals try and entertain him. A festival with the aim of making him laugh has been going on for days now. Why won't he laugh?

Popoño - A Happy Tradition

The shops and market stalls of San Grio are full of items called "popoños" that bear an uncanny resemblance to the Azran eggs. Everyone on the island seems fond of these popoños, but what is the real story behind them?

The Terror of Old Red

The residents of the desert town of Torrido live in fear of a mighty wolf they call "Old Red". Every time the beast makes his way into town, the people flee. But why does Old Red need to come to Torrido in the first place?

The Bride of Hoogland

Hoogland is home to a disturbing custom in which a young lady from the village is selected to be the Dragonlord's bride and locked up in the local chapel as part of their "wedding ceremony". Why on earth do they persist with such a tradition?

Tears of the Phoenix

Azran traditions remain strong in Mosinnia, but the entire adult population of the town is fast asleep. It seems a phoenix's tears would rouse the locals from their slumber, but does such a mythical creature even exist?

Solved

The Deadpan Chief

The Phong Gi village chief turns out to be a cheerful fellow who loves nothing more than chuckling at a silly face. His only problem was his poor eyesight, which prevented him from even noticing the villagers' comedic performances.

Popoño - A Happy Tradition

The popoño tradition started with a man named Eduardo Popoño. At a low point in his life, he found the Azran egg and it brought him great joy. He started the popoño-passing tradition in the hope of bringing happiness to those around him.

The Terror of Old Red

Old Red did not come to Torrido to scare its inhabitants. In fact, the wolf only wished to return a pendant to the girl who once saved her life.

The Bride of Hoogland

The whirlwinds that devastated Hoogland were caused by an imbalance in the Azran technology found within the chapel. restoring the balance has brought an end to the destructive winds and to the "wedding ceremonies" that appeased the non-existent Dragonlord.

Tears of the Phoenix

Solving a number of puzzles around Mosinnia allowed water to flood into it's canals, which form the shape of a phoenix. In the phoenix's eye, a vast Azran archive contains incredible wonders, including the formula of an all-curing panacea.

Layton's Thoughts

The Deadpan Chief

  • After receiving the mystery:

The poor man hasn't laughed in week. Perhaps he's just not a very cheerful sort?

  • After talking with Blewitt about Morel:

It appears the chief's continued lack of laughter is causing some serious concern amongst the villagers.

  • After speaking with Amanita about Morel:

The village chief goes to Amanita's house on a daily bases to sample her cooking.

  • After examining Morel's muddy person-print and the rafflesia flower at the Tree Trunk Bridge:

The flower the chief tripped over stands out quite clearly, yet he seemed not to notice it at all.

The chief often appears to go out for walks and not return all day. He usually comes back in time for dinner, however...

  • After solving the mystery:

It appears the people of Phong Gi had not considered the possibility that the chief's eyesight could have deteriorated.

Popoño - A Happy Tradition

  • After receiving the mystery:

All these items show a surprising degree of craftsmanship. Indeed, we may have trouble telling them apart from the real thing...

  • After speaking to Bud about the popoños:

Pretty though they are, we need to look beyond the popoños and discover a method of getting hold of the real Azran egg.

Our friends from Targent appear to be doing their utmost to get their hands on the egg too.

1. It seems one of the conditions for passing around the "bringer of happiness" may have something to do with one's marital status.

2. It is possible that one's gender also plays an important part in determining to whom you pass the egg.

  • After working out the popoño tradition and who last received the Azran egg:

Looking back on what the people who have received the egg have told us their stories all had certain things in common...

  • After solving the mystery:

The people of San Grio appear to have fallen for the legend of the popoño, rather than the Azran egg itself.

The Terror of Old Red

  • After reviving the mystery:

Old Red is certainly a fearsome sight to behold, and yet he left as quickly as he arrived, without harming anyone or destroying anything.

  • After meeting with Flint to discuss about Old Red:

The idea that Old Red is coming to Torrido in search of food does not seem likely to me.

  • After speaking to Old Red in his lair:

Old Red is bound by a sense of duty. He only wants to return the Azran egg to the girl who gave it to him in the first place.

It is fairly obvious that the little girl we brought to see Old Red had never met him before.

  • After talking to Ruby about Old Red:

It appears that the girl who gave Old Red the pendant is Scarlett's grandmother. It must have happened a long time ago.

  • After solving the mystery:

The people of Torrido can rest assured that they have no need to fear Old Red.

The Bride of Hoogland

  • After receiving the mystery:

The people of Hoogland seem to think that the whirlwinds affecting their village are the work of a certain "Dragonlord".

  • After talking with Beatrix about the wedding ceremonies:

Though most local people are in favour of the wedding ceremony tradition, we did not have to look too hard to find someone who had doubts.

  • After talking to Sheppard about the wedding ceremonies:

There does seem to be a plausible explanation for what happens to the brides inside the chapel.

  • After Beatrix tells the group that none the previous brides have been sacrificed:

It appears that the women of the village help the brides escape from the chapel to start new lives elsewhere.

  • After examining the blocked path inside the Tunnel to the Chapel:

It may only be a matter of time before the tunnel the brides use to escape collapses, blocking it off forever.

  • After Julien's shovel is magnetised to the room of the chapel:

The Dragonlond's chapel is, in fact, a chamber full of Azran technology.

  • After solving the mystery:

I'm glad that the people of Hoogland will at last give up this unsavoury tradition.

Tears of the Phoenix

  • After receiving the mystery:

Why is it only the adults that are asleep, I wonder?

According to a local boy, a phoenix can be found atop a nearby hill.

  • After speaking to Adler and returning to Phoenix Square:

We have been here a while now, and neither Sycamore, Emmy nor I have felt ourselves becoming the slightest bit sleepy.

  • After examining the Azran stone slab at the Mosinnia Temple:

The clues we have found at the temple may lead us to the phoenix.

  • After solving the mystery:

The Azran biult this town in a way that would allow a phoenix to appear when its waterways are filled.

The Mummy

  • After acquiring all five of the Azran eggs:

Aurora's memories are pieced back together every time she comes into contact with an Azran artefact...
