The '''Landmarks''' of Achaea formerly adorned nine and later eight very special spots in the lands. Originally, their alignment, whether Good or Evil, could be changed at any time and a continuous battle raged at each. Eventually, they changed and were only able to be tuned one way or the other once a year.  Durring the time known as [[Ethian]]'s crossing (which lasted the full month of [[months|Sarapin]]), completing the quests associated with the Landmarks would result in their alignment shifting toward one side or the other. At a certian threshhold, they would change their alignment. Depending on the number of Landmarks in the good or evil alignment, Necromancers and Devotion users would recieve a differing amount of Essence and Devotion, respectively.

Walking to Denizens and Adventurers

Adventurers can walk to any denizen that isn't owned by another player, i.e. loyal steeds and pets. Whenever possible, it's best to use a denizen's name when walking to them. If there's more than one denizen with the same name, such as pixies or goblins, then gambling adventurers may find the results of walking to them a bit unpredictable at times.

An added benefit of joining a house or city is the ability to WALK TO <members> of those organisations. Adventurers with the Beloved trait may also walk to their mutual friends.

Finally, adventurers can use the distance ability in the skill of Survival to sense the distance to a given landmark or another adventurer, but not denizens.
