There are several pictures in this issue that are not directly related to any particular story. The pictures can be found on the wiki at curios-and-conundrums.wikia.com/wiki/Other_Clues:_Prologue. For the first, consider a European variety of this bird. For the second, consider the time of day you see this sky. For the third, who might wear this upon his head. For the fourth, the title of the man who would hold this. From there, the common theme should be readily apparent.

Keep moving forward. It's not unusual to have information you don't know what to do with.
It will be made clear later.

Thanks Todd for the nudge. Keep moving forward is one of my life philosophies. Btw I'm K8's "friend". I believe she said she told you I would be popping in.

As someone mentioned previously, I have also just started Volume 1 and I'm pretty sure I've figured out what all of the pictures have in common. I just don't know how to get the appropriate numbers from the game board. Am I missing something, or should I just carry on for now?

By appropriate numbers, I assume you mean the order to put the keys into the Vault. Feel free to PM me if you'd like, as it's not exactly spelled out. There is a message from one of the puzzles that will give you a rough order, but won't give you everything you need. Happy to help as much as you need.

Just started on the prologue. Have solved the crossword and the first two vaults and have the clue for the third. With the first few posts of this thread I see what might link the pictures but don’t know how I would have known which pictures were relevant. I don’t have a code from the pictures or horoscopes yet.
A few questions as I set out on my journey:
How many vaults are solevable from any one newspaper?
Do the news stories generally have clues or are they meant as a distraction?
I’m being very cautious with what I read on the forum so I don’t spoil anything or get given too big a clue.

I’m being very cautious with what I read on the forum so I don’t spoil anything or get given too big a clue. I found the story to be helpful. Some of the articles are not needed but interesting on their own (most are actual). There was a vault that went live near the end of eac of the Volumes (1 2 & 3) Each vault requires a certain # of keys in a particular order to open. The puzzles (some seen, some not seen) will tell you the order of the keys. PM is you'd like... I started in August of 2017 and am now wrapping up Volume 2 :-) \TOdd & Dmikester are INCREDIBLY helpful (and even more patient) blessings chaotickristi

Thanks, using offsky’s braingle vaults I have the first two vaults showing as open. There are 12 total for volume 1 and I was assuming 3 for the prologue as there were 3 clues in the crossword. Or does it not work like that? Should I move on to issue 02 and look for the further clues there? Do the issues cross-reference each other or do you solve sequentially?

In Volumes 1 & 2, the Vault did not become available until after the final issue of the Volume shipped. Treat it as a cumulative thing, and don't worry about the Vault until you've finished the final issue of the Volume.
