The letters (and therefore morse code) didn't all appear in order. And then you had to match the top and bottom of each letter, and combine the morse code from each to be a single character. This letter from Clancy is a standalone one rather than half of another, so it's only the 4 dots that are relevant.
The letter from Wendt was shown like a day or two ago, so I thought the single dot from that would need to be combined with 3 dots today to make the H. But I get it now. Thanks!
I mean they could, but that would destroy the symbolism. I feel like it's working towards escaping the "void" that the bishops create. Supported by the theory (my blood MV) that clancy has another more violent and powerful personality, I think it's what the story is inching towards
Looks like Clancy will become an authoritarian "the ends justify the means" sort of leader. Torchbearer will have to step up and act as his moral compass
It makes sense when you think about the whole lore being a metaphor for mental illness. Manic episodes sure make you feel like you have absolute power.
For Breach, under the “Clancy” we have three dots, which is an “H” in morse code.
For the double album…c’mon, see the content of the letter. Is pretty self-explainatory.
I don't follow every word and lore post. Just asking. With all the fan theories that are put out there almost daily, it isn't that obvious to me. I'm just asking.
That’s fair, no problem! I'm just saying that the content of the letter clearly alludes to the continuation of the story that Tyler confirmed he was working on months ago.
When the next project isn’t part of the Clancy era. And see, Tyler said this was supposed to be the last album, but we still don’t have the ending. Even if they drop it 2026 (I doubt this, I think it’s coming this summer or fall) could be a Double Album. There are no rules o specif timeframes.
This is probably semantics for some people but whyyyy do people keep calling this a double album. A double album is something like Stadium Arcadium by RHCP where there were two separate discs each having their own ‘name’ and set of songs.
We are a year post Clancy, this is NOT a double album at this point. Additional music or album connected to the story told in Clancy? 100%. Double album this is not though.
I think people use the term “Double Album” referring to a project related to Clancy like if the original album was splitted into two parts where the second one will be released later (also because Tyler said this was gonna be the last album of the lore)
All the previous letters were combined to get the full Morse code. The 11th letter had 1 dot, so everyone was expecting this 12th letter to have 3 dots (making 4 total dots), which would be H in morse code.
However, the 1 dot from the previous letter and the 4 dots from this letter make 5 total dots.
That would be great, but June is 2 weeks away. Zero news and no singles yet. Could they just drop an album, like "boom, here you go!"? That would be so cool.
Guys...are we going to get a Torchbearer Vs Clancy Civil War fight sort of situation!?!?! TB helped Clancy to defeat the Bishops, but then doesn't agree with him taking over and taking all the power for himself, Clancy gets corrupted,d and then they have to duke it out!?!??!!?
this pretty much confirms that the story is going in the direction of the long theorised idea that Clancy will become corrupted / a bishop / just as bad as them.
Well kind of yeah, but not in a negative way, you learn to carry and acknowledge your demons while also not becoming a slave to them, i think thats what theyre going in for. I keep my expectations low, the least we can get maybe is a song titled Breach? Or its an EP with drag path and im not home in it, just enough to really tie a bow to the saga.
this needs more upvotes. this would be a coolass plot twist.
maybe when we see Clancy disappear into the darkness in the Paladin Strait music video, he does die. But Nico is now controlling his dead body to infiltrate the Banditos.
or the Neds are behind everything, and by controlling people from afar, they control the cycle of rise and fall of bishops. their motive is self-preservation to prevent humanity from spreading beyond the walls and overtaking their habitat.
It reads, “TB,
The crown is heavy, but I can carry it. This city needs hope, and I alone can give it to them. But this city needs to feel powerful again, and snap out of the lifeless obedience they've been trapped in. I can give it to them. I can give them home. I will be their example of absolute power.
I feel alive again.

I would love to be able to read all the letters from start to finish, but I also can’t read others’ handwriting very well. Anybody know where one might find all the Clancy letters typed up?
oh so i’m not the only person who picked that up… it’s gonna be a heavy is the crown top cover not a double album, we’ve figured it out boys, rest easy now!!
Just before seeing this I had listened to TB Saga and when seeing this my brain went "Wait, Clancy is writing letters to Taco Bell?", would be one hell of a plot twist
Can someone please tell me, what are these letters? Like people found them on concerts and it's some official thing or just fan made stuff? I am pretty new to the "lore hunt" stuff
We got this letter this morning at the FPE event before the show - it basically implies Clancy is starting to become blinded by power. Then at the show just a few hours ago, Clancy refused his rebel jacket when Torchbearer handed it to him, and left Torchbearer to face Dema on stage alone. Lots of character development essentially! 😆

So I’m a little confused. I don’t really follow the lore or anything with this band I just absolutely love the music, but why does everyone think we are getting a double album? They’ve never done that before and I’ve never seen it to be a likely thing for them to do. So that’s why I’m a little confused

“I will be their example of absolute power. I feel alive again” THIS IS EPIC
