See worn and tattered map for traits.

Usage and example

Map markings are unique to each map; below is one example.

  • RUB:You smooth some of the wrinkles on the map as you pore over it, searching for meaning.
  • TURN: You rotate the tattered map, examining it from a different perspective.
  • READ: The map has a large 'X' marked in the middle of it. Near the marking, you can see several dotted lines forming a square. Contour lines drawn along the map indicate that the destination is located near sea level, and a simple sketch of several buildings surrounds the 'X'. Straight lines have been drawn from the center, pointing north and southwest. From other markings on the map, you guess that the destination is directly east of here. Judging by your surrounding environment, you will find the treasure in this province.
    [If you think you've found the treasure, you can STUDY the map to see.]
  • STUDY: Used to claim the treasure when you are on the correct spot. Otherwise, will display the map description as with READ.

Meaning of Markings

Note that if properly set up, the maps will not lead to any premium or guild/race-restricted areas.

  • you can see a sketch of the opening of a cavern.: It is underground or in a cave, mine or tunnel. and it can be verified that it's below ground by the sea level clue. Some caves are located up in the mountains. NOTE: May just be indoors as a whole.
  • you can see several dotted lines forming a square.: Signifies it may be somewhere on the outskirts of or around a town.

Elevation

  • indicate that the destination is located near sea level,: Indicates a rough idea of what elevation.
  • Contour lines drawn along the map indicate that the destination is located above sea level: Indicates its on land

  • a filled box surrounds the 'X'.: Dark area. NOTE: It is in a dimly lit or shady area, and may not be fully dark, but sometimes it requires a light to see.
  • a sketch of a grassy plateau is drawn above the 'X'.: It is in a flat grassy area in high elevation.
  • simple sketches of deciduous trees surround the 'X'.: It is in a forested area.
  • swamp grass is drawn around the 'X'.: It is in a marsh or swamp, or along a grassy shoreline.
  • long grass is drawn around the 'X'.: It is in a field or prairie.
  • small bushes with pointy leaves are drawn near the 'X': It is in a thicket or a room with brambles or thorn bushes.
  • a simple house drawing surrounds the 'X': It is in or near a housing area, or an Inn.
  • empty space surrounds the 'X': Means the area does not possess any of the other possible environment types.
  • sand dunes surround the 'X': It is along a shoreline or in a sandy beach area.
  • tiny specks of ink are littered in the area around the 'X': It is in a desert region.

Exits

  • Straight lines have been drawn from the center, pointing: These are the exits to the room. Note that UP, DOWN, OUT and any GO or CLIMB exits would not be listed.

Relative Location
