2.13 Finding your way about the land speedily.

Two commands are extremely useful for finding your way around the land and moving large distances without the need to remember complex routes.

The first is MAP. Typing MAP will inform you which direction to take from your present location to get one step closer to all of the four major cities: Mercinae, Parrius, Springdale and Thakria.

The second is FIND. Youngsters can type FIND HOME anywhere in the land and will thereby employ a divinely given second sense to automatically walk, location by location, all the way back to the centre of their home city. You may also use FIND MONARCH to seek out the location of your city's head of state, or FIND followed by a guild-name (like FIND KNIGHTS) to seek out the entranceway to a guild. Guilds are often difficult to find in the maze of city streets. See HELP GUILDS for a list of available guilds for school graduates.

Scholars (via a divinely-given boon) and those with Master Scholarship can type FIND followed by any city or village. Doing so will initiate an automated walk, again location by location, from their present location to their chosen destination.

You can type CEASE at any time while automatically moving to come to a halt. You can append PANIC, FAST or STROLL after your FIND HOME or FIND MONARCH or FIND <city/village> to select the speed of movement. Panic is extremely fast, while stroll will give you opportunity to peruse your surroundings at greater leisure.
