[edit] Coincidence?

Probably. The image on the right is displaying a bat and the colouring would probably be to show its thirst for blood. --Matthewest ^{•T•C•E•} 20:16, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Quicker way to close the gate

Once you grab the sigil stone, it takes a few seconds for the gate to close and transport you outside. I've noticed that if I grab the sigil stone and immediately jump off the platform to the "ground" of the sigillum sanguis, I get immediately transported outside the gate. I'd have to test some more, but it seems like it happens before I take any damage from the fall most of the time. Has anyone else noticed this? Could this be a good hint for players about to be killed by daedra and can't reload an earlier save? Vontos 21:27, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

I believe this has been documented somewhere already, but I can't recall where so I'll restate it. Yes. Jumping off the platform after you grab the stone will force the game to teleport you automatically. --Darth NANAME 21:37, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Can't grab the Sigil Stone

It won't let me and my friend grab the sigil stone....we have tried everything...does anyone know what to do??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.179.129.230 (talk • contribs) on 17 January 2009.

[edit] Latin

I know this is hair-splitting, but the correct latin form is Sigillum Sanguinis (sanguinis is genitive case; sanguis is nominative). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Troybayliss (talk • contribs) on 30 March 2009.

Unfortunately, we use the in-game names here on the wiki. So even though Sanguinis is correct we still use Sanguis. --SerCenKing 14:09, 30 March 2009 (EDT)

I agree with that and i didn't want the name changed. I was only saying that Blood Seal is translated Sigillum Sanguinis. Maybe Bethesda people messed up their latin? Just a curiosity. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Troybayliss (talk • contribs) on 30 March 2009.

Probable, considering the amount of other stuff they've messed up... XD --SerCenKing 15:13, 30 March 2009 (EDT)
