• Image of Tasmanian Quest

A Medieval flavoured adventure set in Tasmania. Marreena's companion is a Tasmanian Tiger. Discover the name of her sword to claim a beautiful craftsman made replica. Clues are hidden in the illustrations.

Announcement:
Today, ‘Threatened Species Day” 7 September 2017 , we announce the conclusion of the treasure hunt associated with Tasmania Quest. It has remained unsolved for a couple of decades.
Solution: Using the pages where riddles are embedded in the illustrations, count the number of Tasmanian Tiger symbols of similar kind. The number indicates which letter to select from the riddle answer.
Example: As Marreena begins her journey there is a standing stone with carved runes. It has three Tasmanian Tiger runes. The answer to the riddle is ‘road’. Choose the third letter from the riddle answer, the letter ‘a’. Use the same method for each such riddle.
Result: a i n n a d m a e t. It’s an Anagram. Rearrange the letters to get the name of the sword: ADAMANTINE.
It means hard. Hard like Marreena’s determination. Hard like a sword edge.
