Causes of Chaos - Map

11th December 2002

Part 1: The Kingdom of Ix
-------------------------

The player starts at North shore, carrying a dagger.
The dagger is not "real", it's just for multi-user combat.
This map shows all the portable objects, but not all the scenery
(e.g. the lake is not mentioned.)

Part 2: The Maze
----------------

Of course, the objects which I list in the following matrix are not
initially in the specified locations of the maze, and do not in any
sense "belong" there -- I've just used them as arbitrary markers to
disambiguate all the similar-looking locations.  The exception to this
is the sign in #4, which is fixed.  An arrow on the sign points
upwards.

Where	What		North	South	East	West	Up	Down
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#1	gauntlets	-	*out*	2	1	-	-
#2	rope		3	2	1	2	1	1
#3	bottle		3	1	3	2	4	2
#4	SIGN		4	4	1	2	5	3
#5	bucket		6	4	1	5	2	3
#6	ruby		3	1	1	7	6	4
#7	rod		4	5	6	1	2	8
#8	goblet		*pit*	3	4	1	5	7

Summary: to get through the maze, starting from the outcrop:
n, e, n, u, u, n, w, d, n -- and back -- s, w, s


Part 3: The Ship
----------------

Part 4: Ognid
-------------

As soon as you climb down from the ship, you find yourself in another
maze -- this one a dark forest of oaks.  It's solved by the standard
objects-as-markers-to-disambiguate algorithm.

Where	What		North	South	East	West
----------------------------------------------------
#1	rope		1	2	1	*out*
#2	RAVEN		1	2	*out*	3
#3	medallion	1	3	4	2
#4	log		5	3	1	4
#5	PATH		3	2	*out*	4

From Forest #5, you need to FOLLOW PATH to get out.
That takes you to the location called "End of path".
Summary: to get through the forest, starting from the shore:
W, S, W, E, N, FOLLOW PATH -- and back -- E, E
