Geocaching teams face a terrifying race against time to find the Four Sisters, evil creations of the Shadow Lord's sorcery. The Enemy has been exiled, but he has not yet been defeated. Thanks to an ancient plot, his shadow still stretches over Deltora. For centuries the vile Sisters, hidden in the four corners of Deltora, have been spreading their poison and singing their songs of death and despair. Now, their work is nearly done. Deltora is free, but it is dying. Only weeds and monsters thrive. The people are starving. And the Shadow Lord gloats in his stronghold beyond the mountains, planning his triumphant return. In secrecy and in haste, guided only by fragments of an ancient map, the companions plunge headlong into a quest that takes them to the wildest places in the kingdom, and puts them face to face with fearsome enemies. They soon learn that even the magic of the Belt of Deltora is not enough to combat the power of the Four Sisters. Their only chance is to use a dangerous secret weapon. They must wake Deltora's last seven dragons, which have been deep in enchanted sleep for centuries. Only when the mysterious power of the dragons joins with the magic of the gems of the Belt of Deltora can the Sisters be found and Deltora’s ulitmate monster.
The evil Shadow Lord has been banished, but famine still stalks Deltora, and only monsters thrive. As the starving people weaken, Geocachers discover a terrible secret. The Enemy left the seeds of death behind him. Four vile creations of sorcery called the Four Sisters are hidden in the land. They are slowly killing it while the Shadow Lord gloats, awaiting his triumphant return. The companions must find the four deadly Sisters. Their only clue is a fragment of an ancient map. Their only hope of help lies with seven unlikely allies - the last of Deltora's dragons. In this part of the journey the task is to find two dragons. The leafy dragon and the silver dragon are the first two guides in the Deltora Quest III. The dragons will lead you to the fabled Dragons Nest and a battle with the Sister of the North.
This place provides a most dramatic sight. Moving north along the shore line sand gives way to rocks. Heading east across a grassy sward lies Dragon' Nest, a large hollow where dragons like to rest and recreate. It is a favourite dragon haunt. It is tempting to climb into the hollow, however the geocacher may be trapped and never return.
The cache contains a logbook, pencil, and a co-ordinate. Remember to record the details of the co-ordinate; you will need this information to solve the location of the final cache in Deltora Quest III. These caches have been placed with the assistance of nine and fourteen year old boys. If you know a child in this age range you may find that they can be very helpful.
