Travel

DarkWind is built around routes, ferries, roads, portals, flight, ships, and recall tools. Center of Town is the usual navigation anchor in Darkwind City.

Everyday Movement

Use compass directions to move: n, s, e, w, ne, nw, se, sw, u, d

Special exits appear in room text. Try commands like enter, exit, climb, portal, knock door, or read sign when the room hints at them.

Finding Places

Command	Use
`where`	Show your current domain and area information
`areas <domain>`	List areas in a domain with rough level ranges
`uptime`	Show reboot timing
`time`	Show game time
`date`	Show game date

areas is a guide, not a guarantee. Variable-level areas can shift based on the first player they meet.

See Areas for area-list usage and early hunting suggestions.

Returning To Safety

Command	Use
`recall`	Return to Center of Town with a cooldown
`ncot`	New-adventurer return to Center of Town
`gocot`	Ghost or bugged-room return
`cinis`	Corpse burner return to a nearby Adventurers' Guild

Teleportation does not work everywhere. Some rooms block recall-style movement.

Recall notes:

recall has a 15-minute cooldown after a successful use
recall cannot be used from Center of Town
recall cannot be used in rooms that block teleportation
New adventurers usually use ncot
gocot is for ghosts and bugged-room recovery

Ferries

Ferries connect major domains. Ferry tickets are free for level 5 and under and cost 85 coins for everyone else.

Known ferry routes:

Ferry	Route
M.S.S Fairweather	DarkWind to Souvrael and back
Pequod	Hyperborea to DarkWind and back
Oshimara Maru	Souvrael to Odako province in Kerei and back
Island Skipper	DarkWind to Isle of Dwork, Volcano Isle, and back

Buy a ticket near the docks, board when the ferry arrives, and keep the ticket until it is collected.

Ships

Players can own ships. Ship types include cogs, galleys, catamarans, and carracks.

Common ship commands:

Command	Use
`orders`	Show ship commands available in the current ship room
`push off`	Leave the dock
`dock`	Dock the ship
`sail <direction>`	Sail
`peer`	Look outside the ship
`hoist`	Raise sails
`furl`	Lower sails
`permit <player>`	Allow boarding
`forbid <player>`	Remove boarding permission
`promote <player>`	Promote a passenger to captain
`demote <player>`	Demote a captain
`disembark`	Leave the ship
`yell <message>`	Shout outside the ship

Ships persist through reboot. Equipment stored on ships does not.

Environmental Hazards

Different domains demand different preparation.

Souvrael is a desert; carry water
Hyperborea is freezing; bring warm protection
Kerei has disease-bearing jungle hazards
Underworld routes are dangerous and easy to overcommit to
Ocean swimming is deadly away from protected bays

Ask locals, use areas, and turn back early when an area starts hitting too hard.
