Castle Cross MessageMessage left by Needle Knight Leda, addressed to kindred spirits who also pursue Miquella's trail. "Kind Miquella seeks the tower sealed by shadow, and the Gate of Divinity found there. If we are to reach him, we must burn the tree that seals the path. And for that we require a flame."
Furnace Keeper's NoteA note left presumably by a furnace keeper, containing admonitions regarding the furnace's proper use. "Keep fire pots well clear when the golem's furnace is ablaze - and never let me catch you with pots that produce flaming whirlwinds, for goodness' sake."
Monk's MissiveA letter bearing a terse message and an illustration of a monk, his hands held together. "Seek me to the east if you wish to pursue the way of the warrior. When you find me, you will challenge me to a bout. There is no need for words."
Note: Sealed SpiritspringsIt can be purchased from Moore for 1,000 Runes. Note found by the forager brood, imparting knowledge in brief. "Should you chance upon a sealed spiritspring, look for stacked stones nearby. By toppling them, you may break the seal."
Storehouse Cross MessageOn the table next to the Storehouse, Fourth Floor site of grace. Message left by Sir Ansbach, addressed to kindred spirits who also pursue Miquella's trail. "It would seem that the people of the keep have flooded the holy quarter that leads onward to the Scadutree, barring access. However, there is no route that leads there from this storehouse.

Torn Diary PageGround level of Midra's Manse. In the first room on the left after entering the hallway hidden behind the painting. A discarded page ripped from a diary, bearing a passage written in a tremulous hand. "I touched him, but only once. When he thrust his staff in my face, I brushed it aside. It was then that I touched him. The aging untouchable."
Tower of Shadow MessageMessage left by Needle Knight Leda, addressed to kindred spirits who also pursue Miquella's trail. "The Gate of Divinity lies in the tower sealed by shadow. That is surely where Kind Miquella is headed. We are no Empyreans, but we must locate the path that will lead us there. I will follow the crosses east."
