The Lost Grimoire: The Black Seal of Ithamar
“Not all knowledge should be pursued. The Brotherhood learned this too late.”
– Restricted Archives, File #X17-BS
The Black Seal of Ithamar is a forbidden Brotherhood ritual, developed by excommunicated researchers who sought to bind and control supernatural entities.
Every attempt to use the sigil has resulted in catastrophic failure.
Yet, in 1900, a high-ranking Brotherhood member, Gregor Pavel, uncovered its secrets and attempted the ritual.
What happened that night remains one of the Brotherhood’s greatest mysteries.
- Gregor Pavel vanished.
- The Ramanga Deamhan was never found.
- A single word was burned into the stone walls: “Iara.”
Officially, the case was closed.
But we know the truth.
This is where you come in.
Some Brotherhood files were redacted, hidden away in secret archives. But we recovered one.
Inside the attached Brotherhood document, a hidden cipher waits to be discovered.

Once you find the code, use it to unlock the next phase of this mystery.
