The celtic knot to start the quest is on the rug on the top platform. When you are on the right place your cursor will bring up a little brown box saying "The Scaleborn Vault".
The 4 clues at on the outside of each pillar at the bottom of the fat part of the pillar (not the base, but the pillar itself)

I noticed the same thing, it is no longer needed and will display the text and advance the quest even without knowing draconic, I made the appropriate changes in the quest text, does anyone know when this was removed? --Pijotre Kajek (talk/contribs) 23:43, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

The trick for me was making sure I was close enough to the pillars.
