imgur.com/a/QP1V2M1Runic text is as follows: SHAWTOKE SHOWS METAL WATERS LIGHT DIES ROCK SPEAK IRON AT DAWN All you need is a check/search to know that the constellation is that of Shawtoke (or "the Confused Man", but this is not essential to know for the puzzle). From there you are able to solve this basic cipher puzzle by process of deduction. Following the map once deciphered: 1) SHAWTOKE SHOWS: They must go South (constellation hand points south) 2) METAL WATERS: (presumably they'll come upon something to do with "Metal waters"*) 3) LIGHT DIES ROCK: They must look towards a "O"-shaped rock, the one through which you can see the setting sun. 4) SPEAK IRON AT DAWN: They have to say the word "iron" at dawn in front of the "O"-Shaped rock True1, feel free to slot it into a hex, yeah? Possible entrance to hidden area. Or use it as a reward at whatever hex you plan to start the treasure hunt in.

There's an area of quicksilver pools in (13.11). It's in the pretty hostile Badawful though.

We can make the map pick-up a few hexes north of 13.11 then. It's good that it's in the Badawful though - what better place to hide a treasure than somewhere people fear to go?
I suppose in theory they could find the map anywhere though; we just need to ensure that the party is told that the starting point for its route is north of the quicksilver pools.

I didn't notice the link to the cool handout before. Niiiiice!
There are a bunch of buried treasures about the Wastes. My plan was to include treasure maps on a couple of random tables including Treasure, Clues and Research. Strategically placing them at locations nearby in case they havn't already been located is also an excellent idea. Like (13.11) is smack between the Mutant camp, the Diseased Grippli Camp and a Hospitaler Base. So place it at each of these locations as well.

Lol you missed seeing the actual handout of the thing? Did you think my "treasure map" was just 4 sentences in a forum post? That's pretty funny.
