Reported to be Soekja's — the raven whose words are Stone, Steps, Tides, Signpost, Guidance and Return. The word on your copy decides, so read it first.
Short answer
One creator guide puts the Seal Cipher on Soekja's desk — the raven who handles travel and roads. That is a reported pairing from a single source, and the rule that actually decides is official and different: the bonus follows the word printed on your copy. If yours shows Stone, Steps, Tides, Signpost, Guidance or Return, the report and the rule agree and Soekja is right. If it shows anything else, trust the word.
How you get it
From the loot table during a run — locked chests, purple-marked enemies and unidentified items. No launch-mail copy of this cipher has been announced.
A grade describes sourcing, not truth. An unverified row is not one we think is wrong — it is one nobody has stood behind.
OfficialEvery cipher has one NPC who "truly knows how to decipher its secrets" and pays a bonus for it.

§01
The reported pairing, and exactly how much it weighs
The pairing comes from one Spanish-language creator guide that reads each camp NPC's card off screen, and it is the only source anywhere that assigns named ciphers to NPCs at all. It puts two ciphers with Soekja: the Seal Cipher and the Shadow Cipher. The creator says plainly that not everything in the video is confirmed, so this page grades the pairing reported rather than established — a single careful source is worth publishing and worth doubting at the same time.
Soekja is the raven, and his desk is travel: Stone, Steps, Tides, Signpost and Supplies, plus Guidance and Return from the same creator guide.
The Shadow Cipher is reported to be his as well — two ciphers, one vocabulary.
Handing it to the wrong NPC does not waste it. You get the base payout either way; only the bonus is lost.
§02
The word on your copy outranks everything on this page
Bellring's own event page states the rule: each cipher has one NPC who truly knows it, and the match is made on the word clues the cipher carries rather than on its name. Two players both holding a Seal Cipher can owe it to two different NPCs. That is why this page will not simply print "Soekja" and stop — the ten seconds it takes to read your copy is the only lookup that is actually about your cipher.
Type the word into the decoder — it takes both words, in any order — or scan the 41-word table on the ciphers hub.
Deciphering unlocks at level 5 and any of the seven camp NPCs will do it.
§03
No reward table exists for it
The percentages that circulate under cipher headings — 90.7761% for 450 Gyldenblod and the rest — are the Golden Cipher's, published on the Gylden Rush event page. Nothing has been published about what a Seal Cipher pays. A page quoting odds for this item is borrowing another cipher's source.
§04
Where they come from, and keeping yours
Ciphers are a normal part of the loot table rather than a one-time gift, so losing one is not the end of the system. Securing it is the skill: a cipher in your ordinary bag is lost to whoever kills you, which is what the safe pouch is for.
Locked chests, which are the most reliable placed source.
Marked enemies — the ones carrying a purple brand — and the containers they guard.
Unidentified items: every one of them has a chance to resolve into a cipher.
Citations
Every source, with its date
Including the one this page disagrees with. A claim you decline to repeat still has to be attributed, or the reader cannot check your reasoning.
The only source that pairs named ciphers to NPCs, reading each NPC's card off screen. The creator states plainly that not everything in it is confirmed and asks viewers to report corrections, so every pairing it establishes is graded reported, never official.
Official — that every cipher has one NPC who "truly knows how to decipher its secrets" and pays a bonus for it, and that the match is made per cipher rather than being cosmetic.
The level-5 gate, the seven camp NPCs who offer Decipher, and that the cipher is consumed on use.
Seal Cipher FAQ
Read the word printed on your copy and hand it to the NPC who owns that word. One creator guide reports the Seal Cipher as Soekja's — the raven whose words are Stone, Steps, Tides, Signpost, Guidance and Return — so if your copy carries one of those, the report and the word rule agree.
