Secret Schemes - Oct 22, '16 - without Uncle, things really are falling apart!  Guy meets with several leading Eslandians in Terreli to discuss the implications of King Fernando's rash actions against Oleon, and they come to the conclusion that the only solution is a Magna Charta and a new Colonial Council

Uncle's Palm Tree Plantation - Dec 17, '16 - far off in one of the least populated colonies, Uncle has a brilliant idea: he decides to grow a crop of heavy duty palm trees and get his nephew to ram a piece of legislation through the council forcing each city to have a couple in their town square

So right now (and as of quite a while) Guy is getting ready to start on a treasure hunt, and Uncle has been robbed of a huge amount of money and is looking for a way to recoup his losses.

This is the key to the treasure hunt:

Sail ho, my hearties – the treasure awaits!
Unship your compass and head for the straits!
The animal sound guides to the ground
Where riches untold wait to be found.
Your bravery is tested on this small island strip,
And be sure in resin your torches to dip.
Onward and forward, follow your nose,
Keep up with it, as far as it goes!
Up and beyond, climb and away,
As over you breaks the light of a clear day!
The shadow progresses, it points, it ascends,
And away from the hollow your footsteps it bends.
Awake, awake, my hearties, soar to the skies,
He who steps falsely – that man dies! 

To you, bold adventurer, goes forth the call,
Give it your best, give it your all.
No other business can interfere,
Make this your first and your only care.
Leave State and Company for treasure, forever
                                                 – if you dare!
