How cryptic.....

You'll need to know your stuff for this one. If any of it stumps you, Google is your friend.
I'm also here to help but I'm not going to give too much away.

Some people may find it fun to figure out which methods I have used to encipher my messages... others may prefer to just get stuck in to decryption. For the later I'm posting the methods below.

Caesar, Running Key Vigenère, Rail Fence, Grille, Bacon

[Twitch]

Good lord, this one is not easy.

[Terokh Jeruth]

Well it is the final puzzle. You didn't expect anything less did you?

[Twitch]

Oh, I am by no means disappointed

[Twitch]

Other than a couple of minor hiccups which have now been ironed out, that puzzle was amazing.

[Renzey]

This Age was like biting into the richest, juiciest steak I've ever eaten.
A most excellent gauntlet of puzzles, sir!

[Terokh Jeruth]

And completed just in time for the end of the competition...... tadaaaaa

[Renzey]

Is it bad that I tried to Stego that image, for funzies?

[Terokh Jeruth]

You have a problem my friend - lol

[Ian Atrus]

I put myself in the cone of shame for all the hints I had to ask on this one.

[Tajbro]

Woohoo! 10/10 Ages completed correctly!

[Terokh Jeruth]

No bookmark draw entrants yet. I'm thinking I shall leave this Age open in sudden death mode, meaning the first person to solve it that hasn't already won a bookmark becomes an instant winner.

Is there anyone wanting to win?

[Buzzle1]

I would like to thank numinous for a GREAT pile of puzzles - Absolutely fantastic!

[Twitch]

If you don't get any bookmark drawings, you could always award one of us a second bookmark. I'd hate for the grand prize drawing to be delayed
