    Thanks, I was struggling to see which of the 3 symbols where glowing, but got there in the end.

    The Silver Arc

    An abstract mark, its shape unclear,
    Begins to shift when it's brought near.
    What once lay flat now bends with grace,
    A mirrored curve reveals its face.

    In silver’s arc, the truth aligns,
    A symbol formed between the lines.
    Not drawn in ink, nor cut with blade,
    But in reflection, it is made.

    Two numbers fade into the page,
    But hold the key to turn the stage.
    When patterns meet and numbers pair,
    The path ahead lies waiting there.

    I just stood in a dark cupboard to find them.

    You just need to align the three compasses on the bearings given: the first south, the second west and the third north-west.

    No idea if this is important or not, but the following was printed in one of the TV mags a couple of weeks ago:

    If you rotate it 90 degrees anti-clockwise, you get the following:

    It looks like three words (FREE KING'S TREE?) with a vertical line removed. The L5 P1 at the bottom makes me wonder if it somehow relates to the final puzzle.

    The Silent Spectrum

    Look to the Edge

    Answer: SATURN

    Vast among the stars she lies,
    In woven threads across the skies.
    Remote she seems, yet charts our way,
    Guide of dusk from night to day.
    Others shine, but none so still – 
    the maiden bound to heaven’s will.

    Hint

    Look to the edge, then look to the beginning. Do those colours have something to do with the cryptic verse?

    Well, I think I've got an answer to the verse but don't know what's expected with the coloured circles! Have to put my brain in a better gear!
