Well the easy answer is "Who wrote that inscription? Was it Arachne Solara who knows all, or was it a priest and his hired mason?" There's no reason why every mason's or priest's information has to be correct. Divination won't even help much. The answers to divination are notoriously fuzzy, and the only reason they seem less fuzzy in games is that it is hard as a GM to make up a fuzzy answer on the spot. But don't be fooled, the perceptions of gods are very different from those of mortals, and an answer that a god might find useful would be very confusing to a mortal. Imagine if you were to try to give directions to the best food "nearby" to an ant. I might tell her to hop on the trolley and go to Le Bec Fin, but is that useful to her?

Of course it's appropriate! Players must volunteer to do this, however. GMs are usually too busy writing other stuff, and don't want to reveal campaign secrets in a public area either. Do I hear you volunteering, Devin?
whoah,
