COL GUIDE 1

== Main Info ==
This video is the 44th. The content is cut in 0 chapters.
== Chapters ==
There are no chapters, but we can divide this video in 5 parts :
=== First part ===
In the beginning of the video, it is black until it sounds like a VHS has properly been inserted. Then, the video begins with a background saying in tilted text: "COMPENDIUM OF LIGHT" and on the line below "IN HERSHEW WE TRUST". The video is about the process of becoming a Leohtsawend, assumedly someone who has the power to wield lightning.
=== Second part ===
The first step of becoming a Leohtsawend is application. The text describes where and how to apply, as well as what information is on the application form.
=== Third part ===
It describes the history of the process. The process itself has been called "The Forging" and has become safer and safer over the years.
=== Fourth part ===
The music in the background changes and step 1 of the procedure is described. When step 2 is described, the text of the video becomes fully capitalized. The process seems to be extremely painful, and the limbs of the subject are removed to be replaced with Leohtsawend limbs. At 4:40, it seems like the VHS is spat out with the static fading.
=== Fifth part ===
The fifth part of the video is a black screen with weird beeping sounds playing until 6:49, and then static until the end of the video. The analysis and translation of the beeping sounds is discussed below.
== Title ==
The title is not cyphered : "COL GUIDE 1". COL stands for Compendium of Light.
== Description ==
There are no description for this video.
== Anomalies and Analysis ==
=== First part ===
The first glitch of the video is at 0:55, where it cuts to a black screen with red text saying: "data not accessible", "help me", "ACCESS DENIED", and "HELP ME".
=== Second part ===
The next glitch occurs at 1:11, where the following text appears on screen:"HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE COMPLETELY TORN APART? THE PIECES OF ME SCATTERED SO FAR THAT I DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE MYSELF ANYMORE."This text is the same text found in the description of the 3rd video. From this, we can likely deduce that some of the glitches are due to Hershew, and could be Hershew trying to communicate.
The other glitch in this part of the video happens at 1:49:"HOW DOES IT FEEL WHEN YOU KILL YOUSELF SO MANY TIMES THAT EACH TIME THAT YOU'RE REBORN YOU CAN ALMOST FORGET WHAT HAPPEND JUST SECONDS BEFORE?!"This text can also be found in the description of the 3rd video.
=== Third part ===
At 2:28, text appears on the screen:"Per me si va ne la città dolente, per me si va ne l'etterno dolore, per me si va tra la perduta gente."The text is in Italian. It can be roughly translated to:"For me, we go to the city of sorrow, for me we go to the city of sorrow, for me we go to the lost people."This section of text is taken from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Specifically, this part comes from the first part, Inferno, in Canto III, before Dante reaches the gates of Hell.
For some reason, after the text appears on screen, the second sentence of the middle part has a part change from "90%" to "ninety %". The significance of this is unknown.
More text appears at 3:06, in which it says "GET ME OUT GET ME OUT" on 15 different lines.
=== Fourth part ===
A lot of things appear on screen at 3:48. The red text says a multitude of things.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?"
"EONS IN MY BRAIN, EVERY BREATH WASTED"
"A PRISON MADE OF MEANINGLESS WORDS AND CYCLES FOR ME TO ROT WITHIN"
"IT FESTERS WITHIN MY MIND'S OOZING PUS"
"EVERY THOUGHT, EVERY FEELING RENDERED TO A SINKING WELL OF HOPELESSNESS"
Other text on screen also says "help me", "data not accessible", and the top right of the screen contains the same set of numbers repeating. 9752310 repeats 23 times. The speaker of the text talking about their torture and needing help is likely Hershew, as mentioned earlier in the analyses. Another point of interest is the set of numbers, which form Sam Kreb's serial number. The greater significance of her serial number appearing is not confirmed, although it could be because Hershew is possessing her. That is implied in the 3rd and 5th event files.
=== Fifth part ===
The process of decoding the fifth part requires multiple steps. Taking the audio clip of 4:53, when the beeping begins, and 6:49, when the beeping stops, is the first step. 
The audio between those timestamps is decoded by SSTV, which is a method of transmitting images via audio commonly used by radio operators. The beginning sounds at 4:53 is the calibration header of the file. 
The actual data of the file is translated at 5:50 and 6:00, which when played into a SSTV reader prints out "137 127 150 141 164 114 151 145" at 5:50 and "163 127 151 164 150 151 156 137" at 6:00.
The numbers are octal code. After taking the numbers and translating them from octal code, the plaintext given is "_WhatLiesWithin_". The significance of this plaintext is not known, although it is likely a key for decryption to be used at some point.
If anyone wants to decipher this part of the video themselves, the usage of EzMP3, Audacity, and some SSTV decoder is highly encouraged. The original person who decoded the message used RX-SSTV, although other SSTV decoders will probably work just fine as well.
