These are consumables you can find in the game by completing Whispers of the Dead bounties in World Tier 3: Nightmare and Nightmare Dungeons. You'll also be given more Sigils as a reward for completing the Nightmare Dungeon.

From here, you need to salvage the Nightmare Sigils at the Occultist.

As of Season 4, to access the new Nightmare Vaults, you will need the corresponding Vault Sigil.
