I favour the idea that the symbols are each a morpheme - morphemes being the small-est unit-s of mean-ing in a language

If you are looking for a certain answer here Remember to keep your bearings as you tour the various landmarks. It helps to start off the beaten path at the standing stones

Is it possible to get a word for the vault with just this first map piece or do we need to wait till we have all four of them?

It occurred to me last night that the ambiguous symbol in the compass actually helps to signal the word as well, if you look at it in a certain way.

Oh, I should also add that if you don't like to assume how you should start out, there is a subtle indicator in the rose that will be familiar if you have encountered a certain part of Perplexle

I'd be the last person to make a valuable addition to this, but I have a deck of cards, marked, from 1915. The back design was published twice in two different and well-known magicians magazines. There is someone at the MPC with a knowledge of magic, who has read magic books and periodicals. That leads me to print the following information.
On the backs of the cards are a multitude of apparently random-placed shapes (they look like heiroglyphics) that correspond to numbers:
A straight vertical line is 1 A triangle missing the bottom horizontal line is 2 A triangle is 3 A square is 4 A pentagon is 5 A six pointed star is 6 A square enclosing a triangle is 7 A hollow square is 8 A pentagon enclosing a square is 9 A circle is 0
By putting these symbols beside one another in pairs, you can get any number up to 99 (though in the case of the marked deck, only up to 52 is necessary).
Perhaps it is one some use.

Wow, ok. Kind of lost with this puzzle and trying to make heads or tails of it. Any chance for a less obscure clue to start with?

You get two pertinent pieces of information by anagramming the compass. The first fits the pattern of the rest of the words this issue. The Vault should help you with the length. Not sure what it is? Take a stab at it. The second is all-encompassing.

Can someone please provide a hint as to how Perplexle relates to the map? I did notice that There is an F on the map which may be what "Depart Florin" refers to. But is there anything else that the two puzzles do together?

But is there anything else that the two puzzles do together? I just meant that the arrow that shows the entrance in Perplexle is a different color than the surrounding arrows. This is also true on the compass for the start if you look closely. Though most people have solved enough they probably could just guess the start
