Young cubs, old vultures, and ignorant boars of all ages. You have
quested diligently without need of incentive, and now you
shall be rewarded. For every one of you that have completed a
quest will be more favoured by the gods of nature, and granted
a special gift. You will be given the gift of sight.

MINIMAP - use this command to scout your nearby surroundings.
This will be a very friendly tool for learning the environment.

Code:
'MAP'

Maps come in several flavours at Abandoned Realms - it is in your
interest to use them to help you learn the game.  Good use of the maps will
considerably lower the initial hurdle of learning the way around. 
 
Map objects - some items, like the "map of Seringale", can be bought
from stores in the game and found from creatures.  To use these maps
you must "READ MAP".  It is helpful to use the "WHERE" command to check
your present room.
 
The map command (type MAP) gives an overview of the whole world of Thera.
The area you are presently in will be highlighted white.  Use this in
conjunction with the "AREA" command to find suitable areas for your level.
 
The minimap command (type MINIMAP) gives an overhead view of your present
location. This shows your position as a red "@", and the layout of
nearby rooms.  This is a short-range map meant as a learning aid - use
in conjuction with "SCAN" and "OPEN" to look for doors and creatures.
 
Minimap sectors
----------------
z - hills
f - forest
* - inside
+ - city
o (brown)- field
o (gray) - cave
o (gray) - cave
@ (red) - "you are here"
- (blue) - water
x (brown)- mountain
> - one-way exit

Extra added stuff (forgot to post a note)

G - your guildhall
C - your corpse (if exists)
F - food shop
P - player (red if in pk)
red * / blue * - up and down exits

Also, made some more sensible checking.. it doesnt map into rooms that are dark, if you dont have a light.. or into rooms you can't scan into. So keep that in mind.

I know that it is a bit late in saying this but minimap is the shizznit. I have really gotten around the mud much better since its creation. Thanks for all the hard work Dav.
