• North is actually towards the upper, right-hand corner of your computer screen. (My Ultima Online experience subconsciously influenced me as I made these maps.)
• Start with a party of four, or recruit three more NPCs into your party as soon as possible. Always leave a fifth slot open for quest-related NPCs.
• Buy plenty of food, wine, ropes, boards and lockpicks. You never know when that stuff could come in handy.
