[QUOTE="EarthSeraphEdna, post: 7466045, member: 49309"] The player's guide mentions that "Strange occult symbols scrawled on the undersides of bridges that cross the canal have provoked suspicions that the Ragman might be retribution from the long dead witches of Cauldron Hill," which can definitely give players the idea to investigate the canal bridges. Players will also have their suspicions aroused after Hana "Gale" Soliogn gives her speech in book #2. Hana also points out Parity Lake, the Nettles, and Cauldron Hill as part of the plot.
