    Things have gone missing, and their owners are desperate to get them back. Will you be the one to find everything before it is too late?

    The selkies need your help!
    Several selkie skins have gone missing, and their owners are desperate to get them back. Will you be the one to find them before it's too late?

    Rumour has it that a man found the selkie skins laying a ways from their owners. Rather than ask for marriage, he sold them for a few coins. After realising what had happened, the selkies went in search of their skins. Please help them so they can return to the sea!

    Treasure Hunt Rules:

    1. The hunt for the selkie skins officially begins at noon on Saturday, November 1, AW time.

    2. Each selkie has a story, long or short, which is followed by a clue. Click on the selkie plaque to your right to go to the first story and clue.

    3. The selkies and their skins are hidden in the hoods of Celtia, not in anyone's homes or properties.

    4. Each clue will contain hints on the locations the next selkie plaque. Click on the plaques to go to the clues.

    5. When you click on the 7th and final plaque, you will be transported back here and all the selkie skins will have been returned to their rightful owners. Email the names of the locations and the URLs where you found the plaques to selkieskins@gmail.com.

    The first three hunters who send a correct list will win one of the lovely Selkie plaques below.

    Closing date:

    The contest closes at midnight on Sunday, November 2, AW time. Winners will be announced on this thread. Enjoy the hunt!
