ZEBULON

ZEBULON is the 52nd and final codeword on the CROSSFIRE GAMBIT codeword list and corresponds to the King of Clubs.

ZEBULON is the name of a video posted by Ricky Macchristen on August 16, 2019 showing a large list of coordinates on a deck of cards. This video is the strongest piece of evidence tying the standard 52 card card deck to the 52 CROSSFIRE GAMBIT codewords. The video starts out with a photograph of the Zebulon Vance Obelisk in downtown Asheville, North Carolina.

The song heard during the film is *Black...White* by Takako Minekawa, from the 1996 album Roomic Cube. This is a cover of the original French song by Jane Birkin. The colors mentioned in the song, black and white, are also found in the codewords BURNTBLACK and WHITEALICE. This is the second Takako Minekawa song from the Roomic Cube album heard, after first hearing the song *1.66666* in the ARTICHOKE film.

53. Map card
54. Joker card - black
55. Joker card - red

There are 28 unique cards used, 31 if you count the map and jokers.

The inverted cards all also have un-inverted appearances in the sequence.

There are 26 diamonds, 3 spades, 8 hearts, and 15 clubs used.

Excluding the jokers and map cards, there are 52 entries, the same amount of cards in a standard deck, but not all cards in a deck of 52 are used.

There are only 10 inverted cards, being cards 9, 17, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28, 34, 36, 38, 42, 44, 46, 47, 49.

Taking the strings on page 514 and page 636, concatenate them and use them as a Vigenere key with the cards first letters as input (excluding map and jokers), you get:

FOURANDSEVENBORNHIDDENREVEALSTHECAVEOFPRINCESSTOCCOA

or

FOUR AND SEVEN BORN HIDDEN REVEALS THE CAVE OF PRINCESS TOCCOA

This likely refers to the sets of four and seven keywords in the MEDICINEDOWN .com image, which were 'hidden', and 'MEDICINEDOWN' being the metaphorical start of the mystery in terms of locations given, and thus where it was 'BORN'

Zebulon is the 52nd card in the deck, and the video shows 52 cards, with a final plaintext message of 52 characters.

The decrypted text is about the blue and red terms hidden in the MEDICINEDOWN image. Together with the title of the song playing (black, white), all 4 are the colors of a medicine wheel.
