Wayfinder Voyages and Treasure Vaults
A brand new voyage for the Gold Hoarder Trading Company tasks players with discovering the Hoarders’ hidden Vault Keys!
Use an enchanted compass called a Golden Wayfinder to discover torn pieces of a treasure Map, and use the Map to locate the Vault Key! You can sell the key to the Gold Hoarders for a handsome sum… or you can use it on one of their vaults to discover more treasure inside in a thrilling race against the clock.
