Ever arrived in town late in the evening and there's no-one around to help you identify all those orange blobs on your newly purchased map? Look no further! Here are some hints and tips on translating town maps into usable information!

Three shops displayed on the map like this are usually General Stores. Thier doors will all face toward the center of the triangle and there will be a single sign sitting in the midst of them.

Both of these layouts of shops usually indicate General Stores. In the map on the left the shop doors are placed to face into the formed 'L' shape. In the map on the right, the doors are placed so that if you come out of one shop and face the corner of the intervening tavern, you can see the door of the other store.

This map shows a set of four stores that always seem to contain the same store type in the same location. An easy to spot pattern that makes finding a clothes, book or pawn shop much faster. More notable however, is the fact that this set always includes a 'fake' shop on the north side. This store usually goes under a more unusual name containing one of the following keywords: furniture, carpentry, crafts, woodworking; and The Crow can normally be found in this building.

Two stores of this shape displayed and arranged in this manner are usually a pair of armorers.

Some towns around the Bay list gem stores that don't seem to sell gems. These buildings are usually bereft of shelves and shopkeeper and instead the prospective customer is greeted by a comely wench! If you're a serious gem collector don't waste your time here! These diagrams should show you what to look for in order to avoid unnecessary time wasting.

This is how the fake gem store looks - the porch is your clue		This is how it appears on the town map
