EMERALD and IOLITE

[dramatispersonae]

Dark stone makes up the walls of this small cool room, and they tremble faintly as if afflicted with some terrible noise or nearby conflict.

CHALLENGE

[dramatispersonae]

[ The book suddenly breaks free of the stone; it is now made of paper and cloth binding. Only one page shows any words, however. ]

I follow war and lead you home;
You'll need me if you seek to roam.
Come or go, arrive or depart--
Should you stray, I'm where you start.

Hm... Follows war and leads you home... A trail, maybe? But that seems a bit too simple...

Re: DISCUSSION

No, I'm thinking of a map, the borders of a country, or anything along that line.

Re: DISCUSSION

[splittheparty]

Hm... Of the options, a map makes the most sense. A map can follows wars, while a compass can't. Borders aren't really where you would start if you get lost, but a map would be a good place to start.

You also can map out where the troops are moving on a map. I think we've got it. What do you say?

Re: DISCUSSION

[splittheparty]

Got it, I'll put it in, then!

[going to waddle as he thinks]

A compass?

Is it a map?
