I would like to announce a small weekend event I was working on. It's a treasure hunt and anybody can participate.
Rules are simple:
There are many tin Thaler coins hidden around the map in the red rectangle (image below). In this post, you will find tastelessly written clues on approximately where the coins are
If you manage to get 10 coins, you can go to the North Star bank, buy the glass key and claim your well deserved treasure (also image below)
Be quick, since other players will also be looking for the coins. So it is possible, that you will find the place, but it is already empty
There is usually 1 coin per location and they're hidden in a mirkwood log or stump. But this may differ. Some locations have bonus riddles for bonus coins
If the treasure is not claimed within 3 days, I will add more locations
Strike through clues have already been found
Clue #1
I have 2 brothers, who decided to stay, I on the other hand, drifted away.
We split apart, never to be seen, maybe it's because they're all yellow,
...and I am half green.
-103 / -134
Clue #2
This wonder of nature, nice, firm and slick, this wonderful creation, Jorb's (or Loftar's?) dick.
It's prepared to give its soul, to thrust into the perfect hole.
In there, it shall find its pleasure, and maybe you... your treasure.
Clue #3
Ancient China. The Land in the south, and in the east, But if it knew what I know, it would not be pleased.
Since this China, if I may say, Cannot be farther away, There amid vicious beasts, you may find your sought for feast
Clue #4
I was born an ocean, but I should have been a lake, What a horrible mistake to make.
Around me should be water, but I see only land, Separated from my peers, by just a thin patch of sand.
There among the fleas, may the treasure find its peace
-114 / -121
Clue #4 Bonus
What an irony. I am here, all alone, surrounded by dirt and stone. When on the other side, sweet and salt water collide. What an irony.
-104 / -109
Clue #5
I know, it's pretty sick, but I do look like a dick.
I point towards another continent, but I was never incontinent.
I'll give you a tip. The treasure's on my tip

Clue 5 - Bonus
I am an island, very small. I'm the smallest of them all. Your perception you will test, if you sail from here North West
-126 / -101

To go there, you must be brave, Treasure is near Tenied's grave.
-118 / -160
Clue #7
Finally, after walking miles in this hostile land, a desert made of rock, not sand.
I found this magnificent place, where I can eat, forage and wash my face.
At this oasis I can rest, It is here, where I have placed your quest
Clue #8
I once journeyed to meet God, to see if he's not a fraud.
I was so up high, I almost touched the sky. On the way there, I thought I would die.
But at the end, I passed the test, Thank you… divine Celeste
Clue #9
Wherever you look, there's nothing but water and marsh, my God! this place harsh.
But in the distance I can see, a shiny tower near the sea.

On one of them you will find, the fruits of your noble grind.

Want to find me? Venture forth, I'll be waiting in the North

Tiny island sliced in two, on it you will find your clue.
-97 / -150

The treasure was found in an astonishingly short amount of time. Congratulations Stya to the great job!
I'll update OP soon so you can see all the found locations. This is not the last treasure hunt. Next time, it'll be a lot more difficult

I have updated the OP with locations of the coins which were already found. 11 out of 16 coins were found by just 1 person. But there are still 5 coins remaining.
So this means, that the treasure hunt is not over ladies and gentlemen. The NS bank is still buying the remaining coins for 5 gold. It's not much, but it's still something.
Also, Stya will post the treasure. It was 100 gold coins, a pearl, a gem a ring and some rare apparel.
So good luck!
