Identify the Seal
Occultism DC 17
The symbol is obscure enough that recognizing it requires more than simply knowing common infernal imagery. A character needs familiarity with occult symbolism, secret societies, or the religious undercurrents of Druma's merchant culture.
A character may attempt Occultism DC 17 to recognize the seal's infernal and esoteric significance. Relevant Lore can make the identification easier: Druma Lore DC 15, Kalistocracy Lore DC 15, or a more specific Lore such as Mammon Lore, Infernal Cult Lore, or Golden Hand Lore DC 12.
Critical Success
The character identifies the seal as associated with the Golden Hand,
a secretive Mammonite society operating through investment circles, private agreements,
and compromised wealthy interests in Druma. They also recognize the contradiction between
the group's infernal philosophy and orthodox Kalistocratic doctrine.
Success
The character recognizes the seal as belonging to the Golden Hand,
an obscure secret society associated with Mammon and wealthy interests in Druma.
Failure
The character recognizes elements of infernal or occult symbolism, but cannot identify
the organization behind the seal.
Critical Failure
The symbol's meaning remains unclear. It could easily be mistaken for an ordinary
merchant seal, family device, or private investment mark.
