Old Map of Skol Gaeille's City

An old map of the city showing a site marked with a sigil — the same sigil that's prominent on the scroll Vahid has been chasing across Three Coven Lake.

A notional clue from the Discoveries chapter — not tied to one place. The GM can introduce it anywhere it fits: behind a wall in a haunted workshop, painted on the inside of a sarcophagus lid, etched on a bronze plate in the dirt.

The sigil is the personal mark of a Maker named Skol Gaeille. Such sigils marked an individual's property. The spot on the map shows where Skol Gaeille's arcane device is — the device the Mindgem's fiery heart is still powering.

• Something interesting: the sigil is Skol Gaeille's personal identifier; Makers used these to mark their property
• Something useful: that spot on the map is where the device almost certainly still is — or at least a strong lead toward it

This is the first of three converging clues in the Mindgem-heart hunt. The other two are the Sigil-Bearing Constructs and the Sorcerer's Rival — all pointing the same direction so the PCs can fail to find one and still get there.
