The first riddle gives the players the name of the Island. Riddle maps are a series of 2-4 Riddles on a certain Large Island that must be solved to find the buried Treasure. These Maps can also be acquired from Ashen Guardian's Notes or Skeleton's Orders. Single Riddle Map Quests can be acquired across The Sea of Thieves from Quest sources like Tattered Parchments in Barrels, Messages in Bottles in the Seas or on the beaches or Mysterious Journals on Islands. These Quests can be a part of Gold Hoarder Voyages, Athena's Fortune Voyages or Mercenary Voyages.
Riddle Maps are thematically tied to the Gold Hoarders Trading Company.
