transported.  You can use an exit grid to escape

from a hostile location, but don’t expect a pleasant

welcome when you return.

The world map is

divided into four

different sections:

Map Display - This is the

view of the map.  Areas

that you have not explored

are dark.  The immediate

area around your

explorations is slightly

illuminated.  This means

that your character has seen the contents of that

area, but has not yet walked through that part of

the world map.  Green circles are important locations,

towns usually, that you can visit.  Large green

circles have their own town map (see below.)

Sun/Moon Display - You can see the current date and

time through this indicator.  This display will also

show you if it is day or night at your current spot

on the world map.  Notice that as you move, the sun

sets and rises.  Many towns change depending on

whether it is day or night when you arrive.

Location List - As you discover important locations,

a button for that location will be added to this

list.  If you ever want to visit a known location,

simply click on that location’s button and your

character will start marching there immediately.

You can scroll this list, if necessary.

Town/World Button - This button will toggle between

the town and world maps.

To move around the world, move your cursor over your

intended destination and click.  Your character will

begin moving there immediately.  Movement is not

instantaneous and may take days or weeks of game time.
