About the Treasure Hiders Handbook

The wise black and white crows of Mesopotamia squawk in their histories that the craft of treasure hiding began during the rule of Gilgamesh.  The famous scribe, Vix, hid tiny clay tablets of clues for the boy Gilgamesh that taught him writing and thinking and patience.  She gave him treats of spiced honey when he solved his treasure hunting game through the palace, never knowing he was also training to be a king.  This game he adored his entire life.  As he was crowned, Gilgamesh rewarded his beloved Vix by naming her first Grandmistress of the Treasure Hiders Guild and commissioned construction of a glorious Guildhouse on the east end of the Plaza of Secrets, in the city of Uruk.  Ironically, the Treasured Hiders Guildhouse was located directly across from the Thieves Guild.  Gilgamesh joked that as one guild became more competent, so must the other, and the members of both houses followed the spread of commerce across the earth.

For thousands of years, the Treasure Hiders Guild hid the wealth of kings, queens, pharaohs, sultans, and emperors.  The Mingol Chieftains commissioned members of the Treasure Hiders Guild to carve secret caves in the frozen vastness of the Himalayas and guarded their entrances with giant warriors who wore frightening masks and clothed themselves in white furs.

Nobles of Alexandria sank massive limestone, granite, and basalt tombs under the desert sands and Guild members protected them with elaborate devices and sacred spells meant to terrify the most determined grave robbers. Crumbling medieval scrolls from Constantinople tell of the Knights Templar contracting Grandmaster Golag himself to hide artifacts, relics, and invaluable treasures captured during the Crusades. Crafty pirate lords like Flint, Blackbeard, Tsai, Gasparilla, and Bonny employed Guild members in their ravaging crews to build confounding traps and mazes concealing their ill-gotten gains, the most famous being the Oak Island pit created by renowned treasure hider Frances Martha Rose.

Throughout the millennia, the members of the Treasure Hiders Guild recorded clues for these treasures in their ancient tome, the Codex Occultatum, now known as the Treasure Hiders Handbook.  The Guild members continue to craft and guard this body of treasure hiding wisdom.
