With this Skill you can draw fairly accurate maps and charts for your own use or for others. A good quality map of a previously uncharted area can be worth a fair amount of money if you can find a buyer. You can also use this Skill to read maps and charts in order that you can discover your whereabouts or to plan your route on a quest. There is nothing more frustrating than discovering a map that promises a lead to a huge fortune in treasure, only to find that no-one in your group can understand the map. Reading or Making maps involves comprehending symbols, words and numbers and so you cannot learn this Skill unless you already know how to read, write and count, thus LITERACY and NUMERACY must be learnt beforehand
