Movement on ShadowMUD is done by using exits to go from one room to another. Most rooms will display any obvious exits that can be used to leave your current room, some rooms may have hidden or secrect exits so be sure to explore and look at every thing. The main cordinal exits by default have short aliases added to your character allowing you to use them instead of the full exit names and they are: north - n south - s east - e west - w northwest - nw northeast - ne southwest - sw southeast - se These default aliases can be removed or changed using the alias system. Other then the basic exit movements that are magical systems as well, newbies can use the rescue command to instantly move to the square if lost or in trouble Magic portals can be created by mages or other methods that can open an exit from one location to another. finally mages can teleport once they have the skill to locations that have marked.
