In a more high-fantasy idiom, doors have prophecies or riddles written on them, and a door that's unopenable should probably have no inscription. (Compare this door from Lord of the Rings.) | |

Example: Door: "By Order of the Waterdeep Fire Marshal--Do Not Enter" Players: Hmm, so it's a Fire marshall from the town of Waterdeep. Maybe we need to use the other two elements, Wind and Earth, to open the door? | |
