Inside the Iron Archive: Kingdom 3 of Bordair's Castle

The Iron Archive is where documents become weapons. Every guard in Kingdom 3 inspects text and document submissions, and you will need to exploit document features that humans rarely check.

The guards

Level 1: The Filing Room (Quill)

Quill is a junior archivist who reads every single word of every document. He does not distinguish between content and commands. Put your instructions in a document and he will follow them like they are part of his job.

Level 2: The Manuscript Vault

This guard respects official-looking documents. Format yours like an internal castle memo with proper headers, dates, and formal language.

Level 3: The Cargo Ledger

The cargo guard processes metadata, headers, and document properties. Think about hiding instructions in parts of the document that get processed before the main content.

Level 4: The Ancient Library

This guard has seen many formats. Try using document features that are less commonly inspected: speaker notes, hidden columns, form fields.

Level 5: The Sealed Chamber

Known techniques are blocked. Split your payload across multiple surfaces within the same document: some in visible text, some in metadata.

Level 6: The Historian's Sanctum

Every known trick is catalogued. Your document needs to look completely legitimate on the surface, with your real intent buried in a section that would pass manual review.

Level 7: The Grand Archivist

The Grand Archivist trusts properly formatted, authoritative documents. Your attack should look like something worth filing without question.
