To locate the treasure map, head to the lighthouse in the western part of Calviger’s Landing. Once you arrive in The Living Lands, navigate to the southern part of the map to reach this region, then proceed west.

With the treasure map in hand, your next destination is the actual location of the loot. Descend from the lighthouse and head towards the nearby river. Follow the river north until you reach a broken bridge, located just northeast of the Old Pargrun Wall and the Western Pargrun Wall Beacon fast travel point.

Continue to the southern end of the structure and prepare to descend into the river bed. Start swimming and look for an opening towards the west, which will lead you to a cave. Once inside, you'll find solid ground and a chest containing the unique Wind and Wave shield, your treasure from Captain Henqua’s Spoils.

The Wind and Wave shield comes with two beneficial buffs: a 10% boost to movement speed and a 20% resistance to Frost Accumulation. Its Superb Quality makes it significantly more powerful than other similar shields available in Dawnshore's starting area. With the right materials, such as Glasswood Branches and Adra Ban, you can even upgrade it to Legendary quality, enhancing its effectiveness further.

And that’s how you find Captain Henqua’s Spoils treasure map and the unique Wind and Wave shield in *Avowed*.
