Wayfinder Compasses

For those who wander, not all is lost when they can no longer find their way. The stars, flowing water, moss on trees, and even small devices that fit in pockets can help find a new direction when one is lost. With the right tools and the right knowledge, no situation cannot be surpassed, cannot be moved through to a path that is well-worn.   Simple compasses that point the way north have existed for millennia, simple items and magnets that lead a singular direction. A tried and true item for all wanderers, it was thought that there was no need to ever improve upon something that was so simple, but worked so well. But with enough experimentation, magic can better nearly anything. With a charm, some spoken magic, a rune carved in the correct spot, a simple compass can become so much more, something that leads those who are lost to a specific destination.   Wayfinder Compasses are a rather new invention, something that became more necessary as the events of the Eldritch War erased paths and landmarks that had given travelers directions for thousands of years. People were dislocated, removed from their homeland as those places were turned to nothing, and heavily traveled paths became fissures that were impassible. As the world changed beyond recognition in many places, the need for a compass with a bit of magical direction became a necessity that had never truly been thought out.
