Okay so theres a plot (?) maybe a plot maybe just some old sage found these ancient books or heard about some old artifact called the lord vessel. He researched more ... eventually learned where to obtain it.

So he buys this old mansion located in majula... he looks for a group trustworthy people and together they dig because below the mansion is where he expects to find what he seeks, they dig deeper destroying the walls and end up at the long forgotten remnans of an old watch tower they just dig that far not further ... it was the tower they were looking for (CLEARLY) inside they find the lordvessel (probably not as clearly but the game gives you a soulvessel which is a clear hint... afterall the devs coulve called the soulvessel item diffrently if not fort he obvious purpose of giving this hint) upstairs they hammer into the walls the ground below majula is of solid stone and so they craft the map as a tool ... but a tool for what? A tool which tracks set free souls? A tool which tracks the deaths of powerful beings?

help me out im onto something... - The smashed vessel in the basement is the remnants of the Lordvessel.

I think the Majula manor house was once where Aldia once lived, since it is stated in the game that he wasn't always at Aldia's Keep. He and Vendrick might have been experimenting with the Lordvessel in the basement and then opted to smash it in order to obtain the 4 Great Souls inside of it. Would explain why they were able to achieve such remarkable findings about Souls. But then their focuses split: Vendrick was more interested in the Soul Magics while Aldia was interested in the Undead Curse.
