== The World and the Map ==


There are two different maps that will help you find your way around Ancaria.



1. The overview map. On this
map you can see all of Ancaria,
including the names of places
and attractions. Dotted red lines
show how much of the country
you have explored already. You
can access the world map with
the M key during the game.

2. You can access a more
detailed overview of your
immediate surroundings by using
the TAB key. The area you
have not yet explored is shown
in black and therefore not visible
on this map. In the regions you
have already explored, colored
dots show where enemies (red),
neutral characters (blue),
important NPCs - they might give
you a task to complete, for
instance - (white), and dropped
objects (gray) are located.
