Ascension Address: The Map Room

Following a rumoured treasure haul at the Deep End shipwreck, the Overbold Marine Salvage Company set up a warehouse in the port at Auld Anchorage, and its expanded fleet quickly brought new wealth and business to the archipelago. Fresh trade routes opened up as the imperial navy left, and within five short years old man Overbold was rising through the town council, bringing the rocky island to greater prominence.

Another ten years and Auld Anchorage is becoming a major port city, warehouses clustering in the gaps between the busy docks and the factory district, while residential streets sprawl up into the hills. The council has expanded to serve the conflicting needs of Auld Anchorage’s growing population, and in the dusty map room of the old town hall, pale ink bottles are uncorked and boundary lines are being drawn up.

Change “Pirate” to “Mayor” and “Hunter” to “Councillor” throughout the ruleset.

Let’s get gerrymandering.

So where was the treasure actually buried? I’d narrowed it down to five spots by the end, and the Deep End shipwreck was my strongest suspicion…

Deep End shipwreck, on the dot. I put the whole thing in a comment to the Courses Charted post, along with all the other map information.
