Cakemaster Treasure Hunt

The Cakemaster Treasure Hunt was a multi-region puzzle trail in Alpha Centauri, authored by an anonymous player styling themselves the Cakemaster. The trail used labelled sign clusters — each headed with a Delicious Cake sign — to guide adventurers across the world toward a hidden treasure.

Known Clue Stations

Station 1 — Rio De Oro territory (r.-3.1)

Location: -1195, 61–62, 730–733

"Greetings, You are almost at your final goal adventurer"

"Towards sunset from the city of serpert lay binary islands."

"The treasure is not here, but located in a vastly further location."

"Your next clue will is burning to be sought after."

"on the 'x' marked island you will find a puzzle that will test even the most brainy of adventurers. You have been forwarned."

Key information:

The final destination involves binary islands located to the west (sunset) of a place called the city of serpert
An X-marked island contains a final puzzle
A clue "burning to be sought after" suggests fire or the Nether

Station 2 — Genesis territory (r.0.3)

Location: 323–326, 60–63, 1759–1763

"Hey adventurer! You have been following the clues quite accurately and have found once again more cake."

"The treasure has been stolen by a group of nasty warriors and forgers."

"They have hidden the goods beneath an 'X' in their barbaric city outside of the warzone."

"Happy hunting! -The Cakemaster"

The Cakemaster confirmed the treasure was taken by warriors and forgers and hidden beneath an X-mark in their city, outside a warzone.

Analysis

The hunt spans at least two confirmed stations across the western and south-central regions of Alpha Centauri. The reference to the city of serpert (possibly "Serpent") suggests a city not yet catalogued by the Archivist. The "barbaric city outside of the warzone" where the treasure is ultimately hidden is also unidentified.
